You said you had the phase 2 calibration. Are you running boostane? It says on that page it is optimized for 93 octane.
No, I'm not.
I will keep you posted. I called my dealer today and they are going to look into the cost of just the tune since I already have the LTR. I may not have it by the 24th of January (next track day), but I should have it shortly if I don't have to spend the full $649.420 says that the new LTR didn't help temps much at the drag strip. Be that as it may, I would like to know if the new 93 octane calibration will allow more heat prior to closing the throttle plate.
It is too bad there is no one in a hot climate to test this quickly. I do not want to wait until summer for the answer.
Wha5 worries me about your situation is that the didn’t tell you that you were running a 93 octane tune. Have you Been putting in 93 octane?
No, I do not have 93 here. It says it's optimized for 93 but compatible with 91. I doubt they would release a product for the masses that requires 93 octane as much of the country doesn't have access to it. Every once in a while I'll run Lucas octane booster which brings it up about 2 points or mix in some race gas. I had Lucas in it last tank and it felt the same. I've had no issues running just 91.
That’s good to hear. Yeah I doubt anything above 93 will do much other than maybe provide a little protection
so I called Roush. They try to sell me the full phase 2 upgrade even after I tell them I have the new ltr. Said they can’t break out the cal. When I told them Lebanon was installing the cal the guy said that was impossible and not true. A. Guys trying to sell me a ltr (entire phase 2 for $600) have to get the cal then B. He tells me Lebanon isn’t installing the new cal unless the person pays for the entire phase 2.
I was told the same thing. Have to buy the kit to get the tune. From what Gavin told me this will not adjust the TB closing if it gets hot and sends itself into protection mode. Leo in sales told me that what they are asking customers to do is email [email protected] and tell them that you would like to buy just the tune and they will forward it "up the chain" to the head sales people and see if they will separate it out in the future.
I believe they have to get the tune emailed to them directly from Roush as it is specific to your car and vin.
OK, that pretty well eliminates the Roush from my consideration.
They've been giving this LTR away free since July and including it in their kits since then. Now they're trying to sell it and pass it off as part of a "Phase 2" upgrade. Not sure how they didn't realize this was going to piss off people who already have the LTR when they try to sell them the same LTR. To get a Cal that, judging from the difference in price between the 700hp and 750jp lkits, they've valued at $300
