I went with Bridgestone Ecopia's -- today the rebate was $50.00 for the set -- one day earlier the rebate would have been $160.00 for the same set. $110 isn't going to break me, but it still ticks a guy off.....

 

Really hot/humid days can cause detonation as well

 

I have a config file that should work with your truck. During a datalog itll show the OAR Octane Adjust Ratio and you will be able to see how good the gas is. I also monitor it on torque pro if you want that formula. Octane is these trucks are crucial. I went through 3 bad tanks and my KR was scary at times. Had to go back to stock tune and the KR would still peg out!

 

Are you running the PRX Upgrade?

 

Yeah, ran the latest PR-X 93 Tune. It felt like it was making way more power than stock (sounded like it too on the Dyno), but the Dyno showed hardly any gains over running the stock tune (ran the PRX tune first).

I did log the run and it just doesn't add up. OAR is steady @ -0.58 with the PRX tune. So maybe the gas wasn't that bad.

KR may have been spiking due to the intercooler heat soaking. IAT2 Temps are hitting 190 degrees by the end of the pull.

It's why I'm not sure if I should hit another Dyno and compare, it's like something just wasn't set up right.

Average spark advance was 6.65 and pretty solid during the pull. I'm just starting to dig through the logs now.

I can always email you the log if you're curios. Just waiting to hear back from Mike and see if he has any input.

 

190 IAT2? Wowsers! Have a feeling Mike will bring that one up. He didnt like my 140 to 150 temps

OAR is pretty good at the - 0.58, last summer i would peg at -1.0 and truck was great. Beginning around December it finally settled at -0.59.

When i was having my horrible KR around FEB of this year the OAR was +0.70 to +1.0 and KR would get up to +10 at the slightest throttle input. When i went back to stock the KR would just peg out and hang at +6.0.

 

 

I wish I could blame the temp. I got pretty lucky and it cooled down on Tuesday. It was only about 58*ambient when we were dong the pulls.

I think the fan he was using was less than desirable and wasn't helping.

Ultimately the high IAT2 temps can also be blamed on my "Corked" OEM intercooler. 2/3rds of the core is blocked off. Silly Ford...

 

True, it takes tons of air to keep a dyno vehicle cool, especially a boosted vehicle


Imagine a truck driving 40mph. Now imagine the opposite, the truck sitting still with a huge column of 40mph wind hitting the entire nose of the truck.....

 

Yup. I couldn't beleive how much they had blocked off. Mine was a top deflector and covered almost half of the ntercooler. Ive seen some 12s that has the top piece and a bottom piece on the intercooler.

I yanked mine off and never thought twice about it

 

They got sneaky with the '14's. They actually plugged the sides of the core, hiding what they were doing. You can't tell unless you pull the CAC piping and look inside the end tanks.

Doesn't matter anyway, FR CAC is on the way, should have it by next week.

 

June is a rough month for disposable income -- license and registration comes due on (5) of my (7) vehicles. Almost $500.00 just to get them inspected and set-up with tags for another year.....

 

Being wealthy is hell!

 

 

I think you must have me confused with Paw -- that "****" goes through money like a drunken sailor on a Saturday night......
