Wide Open Throttle. It took me a while to figure it out, I've never heard it before either.

Hey, Dave, thanks for this. It makes sense. Still, I think World of Tanks kind of gets the same message across!

No problem Marc but I kind of liked "Way Out There" myself. ?

So since the Ford Performance tune is made to run more efficiently, which creates more power aswell, does it benefit MPG when you guys aren’t really mashing the throttle? Can anyone actually say it gets better mpg?

I get almost 29 mpg at sustained speeds of 62-65 mph, 24 mpg at 78 mph. Tune plus Borla and 93 oct. Don't know if its better, don't care and have only checked it once in 2 years.

Hey, I agree with the main point, which is no issues with the FP tune. That has been my experience as well. I'm approaching 15K and loving the tune, not a single problem. My question is, and maybe this is a generational thing (as I am also approaching 70), but what is WOT (Way out there? World of Tanks?)? I Googled this but got no clear answer....

Hey Marc,

I am glad you are liking the tune! Haha, no worries not a generational thing.. or if anything it came from y’all I also was confused what WOT was at first, I giggled at “World of Tanks” as well. Sometimes I find with all the crazy abbreviations these days it’s easier to google the abbreviation and the relative topic. I googled WOT cars meaning. I think I agree with Dave, “Way Out There” is my new meaning for it. I like the ring to it. ?

Random ranger5g member: “what’s WOT?”

Me: “Way out there.. dude” ?

Being a motorcycle rider most of my life (hitting 73) WOT was a common expression even back in the 70's.

One thing I failed to mention above... You get better gas mileage with an appropriate tune, but like every plus, there's a minus too! Like tire wear and more frequent oil changes. But what the hey? Going faster is always costlier than being a stoplight snail, like say a Tacoma?

Better gas mileage if you aren't stomping at it with all the smiles per gallon. Must be the Siddhartha Gautama of driving if you can resist the smiles per gallon after a tune.

I'm a younger guy, but WOT is a very common acronym to me due to being a motorcycle rider as well. It turns up in articles for bikes all the time. I never gave it a second thought til reading this thread.

Can someone with the FPP Procal 4 and a FX4 with the 265/65/17 Tires post your OEM Tire (rev/mile) value from the Procal 4 Programmer screen please?

Jay, The Procal and the Livernois Mycal are the same tuners so these should be the same numbers. I went off the numbers on this post below (post 234) when I went up one size and it was perfect. Looks like the stock value is 686.

i have a dumb but serious question in regards to fuel. Had some work done on the truck (just had a clip that had to replaced) and they service was kind enough to fill my tank with fuel due to long wait I had to endure. Welp; found out they put in 87 and not 91. been driving the truck with it ever since. In all my years of doing tunes and what not, this is never a horrific situation UNLESS you constantly run the lower grade. With it being just one fill up, it shouldnt be a problem correct? With these newer cars/trucks these days im not sure the issues it could cause. Thought about dropping in a tube of lucas to clear out the lower fuel grade just to be safe.

It will be fine. I’ve had to put 87 in mine when I was doing some over landing in some areas where premium wasn’t available. A while back, there was an engineer on these forums who was involved in the FP tune who said the software will adjust for the lower octane.
