Ken - will there be an option to purchase both levels and user select between the two? IE load up a track tune for the night/weekend and pull back to a more conservative level for the daily driver duties during the week?
No need to spend more money. Within reason, once you buy the tuner, I'll give you what you need/want for no extra charge. This includes changes for an off road pipe etc.
And yes, you can switch between them.
Would it be ok to run on the more aggressive mod for daily driving?
I do and I really don't see an issue with it. But keep in mind that it's fairly aggressive and I get rid of the torque steer limiting on the aggressive tune, so if someone drives the truck that isn't ready for it, it might scare them. lol
What was your trap speed stock? Also, what tune did you do your runs with... performance or your suggested daily driver tune?
95 MPH stock. The 13.5 run was on a very early version of the tune. Probably in the realm of the aggressive tune but I expect the aggressive tune to go quicker now. I have been working on this non stop for over a week and have made tremendous progress on all fronts. Obviously it's extremely hot now, but I plan on taking the truck back to the track and running the stock tune, 91 tune and 93 tune back to back to back for a comparison. With the heat, not sure how fast it will go, but the gains are what is important.
Any answer to all the questions or updates to pass on for the orders
Sorry, I have been so engrossed with tuning this thing I haven't done much else!
One other thing to note. All these Ecoboost vehicles, ours included have a really crappy intercooler that is holding us back. So for those that are really focused on the track, a upgraded intercooler will provide huge benefits. I plan on going this route. I can't say who, but I know of a company working on this. They haven't mentioned doing one for the Sport yet but I'm going to push them to do it.
I also have a water/meth kit that I may try. Also, I may do some runs with Torco Accelerator added to the gas which brings it up to over 100 octane. Most octane boosters that you find at Autozone are junk, but the Torco stuff is legit. We use it with good success on high HP Mustangs.
So here is the current plan for those that have an order in.
Tuners are currently being shipped out blank. You have to check the strategy of your vehicle and send that to us. Instructions are included. Once we have that, we will upload your tunes to our server. All you do is plug the tuner into your computer and they will auto download based on your serial number.
I hope to have the truck on the dyno this week for official numbers but with the 4th of July this week, might be early next week. We only have a 2WD dyno so I have to take it over to a friends shop with a 4WD setup.
I already mentioned, but I will also be taking it back to the track for comparison numbers. Stock - 91 - 93 - Octane Booster
Another thing to keep in mind...
I think the tunes you are getting now are awesome. I'm very happy with how the tune drives, shifts, etc. Everything about it. But this is my truck and I'm sure I will continue to improve it. As we make improvements, we will upload new versions of the tunes to our servers. You'll get an email from us that there has been an update. All you do is plug it in, run the update with the included software and it will download the new tunes. Then go reflash the truck. The point here is, this is not a rush tune and will continue to be developed. We are discovering new things everyday to make things better.
If you guys have any questions, it's probably best to ask them here instead of sending me a PM so everyone can benefit.
Thanks,
Ken
