Yeah, it's whine is actually quieter then I thought it would be! lol

Haven't exactly punched it or anything, but decent throttle and I heard it, but it wasn't what I imagined.

Thanks for the vote of confidence - I think the extra time on the details really paid off.

 

You'll probably love the tune though. It should help a lot

 

youll hear the whine when you step on it after the tune for sure haha

 

Yesterday I purchased a new code scanner that can read live data. It also diagnoses ABS and SRS codes (if available).

INNOVA 3160B ABS/SRS+ Professional CanOBDII Diagnostic Code Scanner with Enhanced Live Data ($199.00):

 

Looks like a pretty fancy tool!

 

What are the odds we'll get vids from the drive or test and tune?

 

I'm sure I could get something put together.

Probably won't be from the tuning session though - he's requested the truck for a solid week.....

 

Well today I ordered a rather nice coilover spring compressor. :D

This should help me take some of the load off my setup when adjusting the collars or during a spring change.

Maaaaaan you have all the toys, Logan.

 

if i lived near logan, id be broke from buying mods at the same time as him haha. awesome tool!
I'm also expecting a nice video once the truck is all tuned lol

 

lol



I do like my toys!

 

really? It should sound similar to this i would think.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm used to hearing online. Perhaps outside the truck it's louder than I think.

I hear the whine from inside the cab when I accelerate 'hard', but it doesn't seem anywhere close to as loud as that.


I did some basic datalogging today and I'm hitting 5.7 psi, which isn't bad at all up here (over 5,000 feet above sea level) so I know it's doing it's job (I think)!

 

Yeah that is true, its not nearly as loud in the cab but it will be a head turner!

Also just wait until its tuned. You will love it!

 

lol..classic zack jump

 

mmmmhhmmmmm

 

So ever since you asked about this last week - I've been wondering about a new exhaust setup...lol

Damn you!


I still need it to pass emissions and everything, but I've been trying to find out information about 'true duals'. Basically running new from my headers onward. I guess I'm just not 100% sure about the catalytic converters (quantity & placement), crossover pipe info, pipe size & all that good stuff - basically needing to learn about 95% of it! lol

I usually have pretty high & picky standards (if you couldn't tell - lol), so I hate just to bring it to an exhaust shop and let them do whatever they want. I want to specify what & how I want it done.

Currently I have JBA headers & the true stainless steel catback kit from Magnaflow (Part #15773) - which uses a 2.5" O.D. setup.

I like how it sounds now - because I'm not a fan of an overly loud exhaust. I do like a low rumble though - but nothing loud & crazy.

I want a high quality, performance sound - not a cheap 'hacked together' type setup.

Any thoughts or ideas for our trucks specifically?

 

I guess the question is, are true duals going to give a performance advantage? I know on a stock truck it's not beneficial. I'm not sure what performance gains you have been seeing or expect to see in the future when you bore it out to a 4.2, put in a nice lopey cam, and crank up the boost.

But I'm guessing you might actually see some gains with your upgrades?

 

Properly tuned a higher flowing exhaust will be beneficial. I think if each pipe has a high flow cat you can satisfy the O2 sensors. Do you have 4 sensors?

 

Yeah, that too. lol

I'm not sure, but I'd bet my current setup (headers & catback) is doing pretty well as it is.


Strictly going off of the Ford service manual - I believe I have three total.

Two heated oxygen sensors - near the manifold & pre-cat (The two item #2's) and another oxygen sensor after the last catalytic converter (Item #6).

 

Just a quick update - It's been over a week & I haven't purchased anything for my truck!




lol

 

Hard to believe.

When's the dyno session?

 

lol


I drop the truck off for the tuning session at 7:30 AM on Tuesday morning.

 

I'll be getting everything ready for the tuner this weekend.

I've got to make a 'cheat sheet' with all the supercharger related upgrades so he knows what he's dealing with.

 

Well, dropped it off for it's tuning session this morning....

Start the cash register rolling for this total!
