  1. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Just wanted to give an update. Ford Racing has agreed to take back, and issue me credit for the PP2. They say it's really unlikely that I'm actually getting pinging, and are doing this as a good-will gesture. Totally did not expect them to. They are even paying for their freight back. I'm...
  2. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Most likely a similar sound, but different issue. I'm actually due for an oil change this month, and was definitely having performance issues.
  3. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    I will do once I get a response from them. The thing is, it disappeared after removing the parts / reflashing. Something to do with their kit either way.
  4. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Do agree, but it made that sound, metallic crackling / rattling, that was also hindering performance, while the motor was under load. The sound disappeared after flashing back to stock. Not sure what else it could be.
  5. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    They said I have too much oil in my intake, and it needs to burn off before it will get any better... I said I wasn't really happy with that response, and they told me to send an e-mail to [email protected].. No reply yet on the e-mail.
  6. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Well, I know I had a message about AdvanceTrak, and ABS when I got the car back that cleared itself' pretty quickly. They should know what they are doing- but i'm not sure. He seemed quite adamant it was pinging, and recommended I move back to stock. He was also able to get one clean run, but...
  7. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Yep, I will be removing the PP2 tomorrow and seeing what happens. I may try to get another dyno run in sometime soon as well to compare the results.
  8. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    That may be the case for you.. I notice some power for sure.. Especially when its cooler out. On the hot days, or when the car is fully warmed up, it's not very smooth. I have heard the intake sucking air in, and it sounds great, but I don't believe it should create a "rattle" sound. I'm...
  9. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Yeah, I even tried datalogging mine, no knock codes or anything. Apparently it's very common with canned tunes in Canada, our gas is shit. I would get a second opinion if I were you, just to be safe. Pinging = bad. If you look at the way the car puts power down on my dyno, it's pretty...
  10. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Update here.. After hearing the rattle / ping, I got fed up and went to a local mustang shop. He popped it on the dyno and told me that there was too much timing below 5K rpm. I've attached the dyno sheet. He said it is not a rattle, but definitely pinging. Am I going to have any luck...
  11. 19x10 square question

    Do you get any scraping on the fender on hard bumps? Or do the tires still sit inside the wells enough to absorb the impact?
  12. Sway Bars - Endlinks required?

    Sweet. Will pick up some Steeda's ASAP and swap em out on my own. Appreciate the insight. Going to do some corner carving tomorrow, and some rougher terrain.. Here's to hoping they survive the trip :)
  13. Sway Bars - Endlinks required?

    Suspension won't be stock, have steeda linear springs + FRPP Struts going on, as well as the thicker sway bars. I'm assuming that this will just be exacerbated with some aftermarket parts on :) Do I need to get an alignment after installing endlinks? Thanks for your reply :)
  14. Powerpack 2 config

    I left mine at default.. using the 20" stock foundry wheels.. What would this setting affect?
  15. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Thanks. The car is a 2015, just short of 36K mi, not too concerned about the 36k/ 3 year warranty.. Powertrain should still be covered, though (or so I've read). Would this also apply if I did the install + tune without the dealership? I plan on getting a bit of an early oil change in the...
  16. Sway Bars - Endlinks required?

    Hi there, I have a suspension shop installing all of my gear today (FRPP Struts, Steeda Linear Springs, Eibach Sways). They mentioned that I probably want to get some new end links, because the stock ones may break.. I'm wondering - how much of a panic is this? Should I hold off on...
  17. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Recorded through the noise with the ProCal tool. Knock retard + knock correction values were both 0. THere are two fields called "Knock Reference" S1, and S2.. Those had values, but I don't believe they correlate to knock events specifically (They recorded results even at idle, etc, seemed to...
  18. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Messed around with the ProCal a bit, going to try recording a log with this one. Previously I have recorded with an old SCT XF3, so I'm not 100% confident that it is grabbing the proper variables. With this ProCal (Used to flash the PCM with the PP2), and 4 different "Knock" parameters, I...
  19. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    It seems that way, but I wasn't really listening for odd noises before, and also I had my sound tube in.. can't be sure the sound wasn't present before. If I had your technical abilities, I would likely be going back to stock.. I had a friend help me install this, and I don't really have good...
  20. Ford PP 2 Pinging

    Yeah, I tried the octane adjust, and 94 fuel.. no effect. Ugh.. I really don't know. I hope it's not ping.. I datalogged during the sound, and there was no knock sensor events.
