Get better tires.

Are you lugging the engine down? Could be detonation... running premium fuel? Does it always do it? Detonation sounds like BBs rattling around in a metal can. I know some have had issues with that. I used to get a hint of it on throttle tip in if lugging the engine when I first flashed the tune. Although it has since gone away.

Its sounds like detonation to me too, I only run premium 91 from Shell (90% of the time) and it's not lugging the engine. I originally thought it might be my elevation and the engine is pulling timing (5,400 ish ft). The stranger thing is that the engine only does it when at operating temp, when I leave the house and the engine isn't fully warm yet, I never hear it.

I found E85 at a commercial pump Friday and ordered Injector Dynamics 1050X Friday afternoon changed my Lund Calibration request to flex same day. If the E85 is constantly testing at 85% I will change to the E85R tune.

You can try the “octane adjust” feature in the the tune. See if that helps. I think it’s a less aggressive timing table. It’s a check box in the procal software.

Every time I loaded my PP2, or disconnected the battery for whatever reason, I'd get this little bit of pinging. Octane adjust option didn't make it go away.

However, it would go away after a few miles (couple hundred?).

Has anyone experienced a "rattle" similar to a cam gear noise under moderate throttle since the power pack installation? I have a pretty bad rattle right around 2-3K rpm under moderate throttle but goes away under light or heavy throttle. The rattle was not there prior to tune and I'm thinking of flashing it back to stock. Any insight would help, thanks

rattle/crackling/grinding w/e noise at similar rpms but only happens on rare occasions. Haven't seen it in the past month or so though.

That because flashing or disconnecting the battery clears the Kam data or clears the learned profile basically.

Have you ever flashed it back to stock?what tune is it? I have two PC3 files listed.

Have you returned to stock previously? The only reason why you would have two files in the directory is because tune has been flashed twice.

I select the file that corresponds to the date I know I installed the tune. Should be the most recent one.

No I've never returned it to stock, I'll have to look and see what the file says.

There was an update a couple of years ago to the PP2 tune to reduce the incredible amount of rev hang in the original tune.

Damn 1050x seem like overkill for your situation. Are you planning on FI later on or something?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but seems like there's no advantage in paying for certified mechanic instattalion after 3yr/36 warranty expiration?

my 16GT has 40k miles, I installed the PP2 myself with no issues. If you have any skills at all, there is no reason you should have to pay a mechanic to do this. Just follow the directions closely for the tune, and there are lots of youtube videos that show the installation of the intake and throttle body.
