How does this sound?[VIDEO] Cammed Tune from Lund Racing NOW AVAILABLE!!!

[Cars_1959]

Back in the day the only hot rods sounding like that actually had high performance cams and you knew it was probably faster. Sounded just like the lope featured here but no power increase, just major cool sounding.

Think I read somewhere here that the Coyote can get HP increases with high performance cams and headers. I think it said you could reach 500 HP with those two mods. Sounds good but I'd would change to Ford HP half shafts so I don't get stranded with a snapped shaft in for me would be a DD. I had more than enough of that with my 56, snapping tranny gears or U-joints with the little I did, ughhh.

They are electronically changing the cams/valve timing at idle. They are overlapping the valve timing so that the exhaust and intake valves are open at the same time for a duration creating the "lope".

do you know they are changing the cam timing?
if this was the case, then a tune could simulate overlap at high rpm for the powerband where the scavenging was developed in the cams for this peak power.
I suspect fuel, throttle body control, and timing is replicating the rpm variation measured on an actual high lift cam engine....

the answer to the observers questions is. "This is a tune controlling the engine similar to what high lift cams do. adding this unique idle sound and (x) more Hp !!


point is... a tune today can give you what component changes used to give you. with higher reliability. better sounds, higher performance, and better throttle response. AND TURNKEY. PLUG AND PLAY.. no greasy forehead, bloody knuckles, or oil puddle in the driveway.
who wouldn't desire that???

This is exclusive to the Lund Racing nGauge and will not be offered on the X4 or any other device for that matter.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks, Jared

well damn, I just got a Lund tune from you guys a few weeks ago too (I have an X4). I really wanted that cammed tune too, but I can't justify spending another $450 unfortunately being that i'm already building on a budget. Hopefully it changes in the future, I'd assume there's thousands of dollars extra to be made opening it up to SCT owners...

The cars already do this at high rpm. These cars have variable cam timing. So at high RPM the ECM will make it do as you stated. However, from the factory/stock from Ford.....they tuned it with the variable cam timing to behave very mild at idle. Lund has simply taken the "Mild" out at idle/below 1200 rpm. The cams will still behave more aggressive at high rpm.

I think we are on the same page :cheers:

thanks Tele
agreed.
I was just curious if you knew in fact this was the method. As I had begun some research at my Alma Mater Engineering college on this topic.


I think it is a great idea. as nothing sounds better than an aggressive idle.
lets call it aggressive idle, since cam idle is so last milentium LOL

yeah, I still chuckle when I hear guys say "oh ...he's got a cam in there"

as if the car didnt have one to begin with:lol:

all of this being said.....there is nothing like the sound of a high compression V8 with a lopey cam imo!

If this is a "novelty" tune, why go so far to protect it when you are withholding it from your customers. Especially the ones who bought their cars way before the Ngauge was released. I understand all the software protection and stuff but wouldn't tuners be more concerned about their actual tunes being stolen? Some of us bought the x4 because there were no other forms of tuning devices available... and now were excluded from all the benefits unless we by the "better" device.

 

[Blitz]

All of you guys complaining about lack of tunes for the SCT are more than capable of developing your own Ghost Cam tune for the X4.

Go ahead....I'll wait right here.

I bet if i hang the blackmare out the window it'll sound like I'm cammed... heavy ass cams

Being dramatic much man?

You aren't excluded from all the benefits, you are excluded from one benefit which is a novelty tune.

For you and all the others complaining, how about you stop complaining for buying early and accept the consequences.

It is not the tuners responsibility to ensure the latest and greatest is backwards compatible for everything. You decided to purchase your tuner early and now the company has worked with another to develope a far superior tuner that is not only better for the customers, but also offers them protection not just on a novelty item but on all tunes. it's not like this comes as a stand alone item, it's attached to custom tunes that any other company could steal on the x4. That is the real concern they have, I would imagine, not the novelty cam tune.


Stop complaining, sell your x4 and buy an NGauge if you must have the cam tune.

I'm guessing you go around the forums and complain about all the complainers, is it too much that people are bummed that they aren't involved with the growing process after investing in the tuner? If anything you're the dramatic one. What I said isn't illogical, nor is what you said. It is my right to share my opinion and if you don't like it you could keep your mouth closed. You don't get brownie points for shutting down people voicing an opinion opposing yours. I was finding logic out of protecting a cammed tune vs the custom tunes they already give us, who's to say those cant be stolen

Really?

That would pretty much kill forums, most social media - and, basically, the interwebz as we know it.

It would kill it how? It's a forum, it's a place where people go to share thoughts and ideas.

 

[SWLA]

He shared his thought and opinion on what you said, then you tell him to keep his mouth shut if he didn't like it. If everyone kept there mouth shut then you would never have a discussion on anything.

Exactly.

And if everyone followed your suggestion that: you have the right to share your opinion, but if someone does not agree with it they should 'keep their mouth closed', would make the sharing of thoughts and ideas pretty one sided and boring.

Essentially killing forums as we know them.

How would you feel if you came up with something, say some app, and then someone stole it? Money aside wouldn't feel too good someone else pirated your work and profited from it.

They have every right to protect their intellectual property from being pirated. You should be blaming the other tuners for stealing it preventing it from going on the X4.

The other/regular tunes dont differ that much from tuner to tuner; it is just adjusting levels. The cam tune is something totally different all together in terms of programming.
