I did not dyno it, nor do I intend to do so. So, no quantitative data to support my observation. I did use the same test drive rout and fuel grade to test each upgrade, temperature and road conditions remained generally equal as well. All I have is my experience as a Porsche Technician, ASE’s, and state safety check & automotive technician license to provide some (if any) credibility to my observations.
Your credibility was never in question. I was just curious what data you based your assessment on and maybe the metrics you used. Dynos are good and all but I agree with the "trap speed" being the true test of improvements made by any particular modification.
No worries. I must agree with you on the data, and look forward to hearing of your experience w/ the Dragy (or similar device) if you decide to purchase.
what I have on mine is coolant temp, transmission temp, CAT temp, absolute fuel pressure, LT FUEL trim and ST FUEL trim. This allows me to know that I'm running at the correct fuel mixture and that the Engine and Transmission aren't getting too hot.
Interested but not concerned. With all respect and not meaning to be flippant, I can't remember the last time I checked any of my vehicles...I wondered on my Lexus GS 430 if I got better mileage with premium but never really checked beyond the cars info system. i remember being surprised that my '02 Mustang GT got 26 mpg on the road, but surely the Ecoboost Mustangs are faster and get better. in the 1980s I did watch the mileage on my Accord which often got over 30 mpg, but at this point I remain only interested. Wish my tune would come in.
My MPG increased by about 1 MPG.
I have not noticed any difference. Other than it being more difficult to keep my foot out of it that is. I like having the extra power.
my thoughts almost exactly
Good question I don't know if the Ford tune has that ability. I went with Livernois because they do several different tunes including one for towing.
This is why I went with Livernois too. IIRC it automatically adjusts for altitude ( someone correct me if I'm wrong ) and I like that you get unlimited tunes and support and free updates.
If they would ship to Kalifornikstan I would have gone with Livernois as well. The only tune that I know of that is CARB approved is the FP Tune. Thankfully I am seeing good gains. 42 hp and 22 lb/ft of torque. I expected a better gain in torque but the tuned torque curve is actually far better than the stock curve. Even the horsepower curve is way better than stock. Truck is putting 282.5 hp and 303.5 lb/ft to the asphalt. Excellent numbers for a four banger.
