Well, Whiple stage 2 installed....

I honestly believe, thanks to your instructions for me to disassemble, and reassemble, something was fixed during that. I went over every single thing you mentioned by taking it all apart. Nothing stood out to me, but from there, I drove to the mechanic for smoke test (just 3 miles), and logged on the way. Idles was smoother. Tune needed work, but it was different for sure (not great cause all the tweaks ken did prior to try to compensate for a problem that was not obvious). Ken seen that log and said things looked much different than prior logs. Then smoke test found no issues. I am convinced taking it apart and putting it back together fixed a leak somewhere.

So now the Whipple tune drove perfect, and Ken's 2nd tune he sent me was 100x better than the previous one. Again, I will likely get three more revisions before we are done, then do a fair comparison. I do plan on dynoing both tunes at the same time on same dyno at some point. I know Dyno isn't everything, but I will include how I feel driving the car also. I am not a guy who will be partial. I have no affiliation with neither. I will give how I truly feel. I spent thousands on an SC, exhaust etc., and 500 for a tune. I would have no issue whatsoever with forgetting the 500. If in the end I like the Whipple tune better, I will have no issue using it. If Ken's drives just as good or better, and has more power, and no CEL (I know I can fix that with foulers), I would use that as those are the reasons I went custom to begin with. Thanks again for your help!

I looked at the revisions for my 93 tune from Ken. He made 3 revisions for me. He requested logs until he had my tune dialed in. Ken is pretty quick too. I sent him a log last night of my 100 oct pull with the 3.5 pulley. He gave me a revision at 9am this morning. Now, I really hope that we get the 100 oct dialed in fast. $10 per gallon sucks lol.

Man, I hear that. Uses a lot of gas logging!

Yes, Whipple stage 2 with 72# injectors, 132 tb, but with a 3.625 pulley. I also have pypes headers with off road pipes and Flowmaster axle back.

New Cal

Bump

What's the latest?

I heard Whipple has a new calibration in the works to resolve the issue but they are waiting for Ford to bless it.

Is that to solve the cel issue? As for me, I dyno with the Whipple tune for now. Ken still finalizing as I have not been able to get certain logs due to vacations and weather. I put down 663 on Whipple tune so far. Whipple tune feels good. Multiple sources tell my my Flowmasters can be robbing me of 30-40whp due to them being chambered. I will have them replaced soon. I will then head back to the dyno. Hopefully with both tunes complete.

CEL w the whipple tune is resolved by foulers I have both and so far No CEL but i still have the "hesitation" and whipple is waiting for ford to OK the New revision of the tune.

Yes, I seen that the foulers work, just wondering if Whipple was going to maybe address it.

Whipple's calibration is emission compliant, so you're on your own without cats.

The reason Whipple will not turn off O2 sensors is they sell a 50 state street legal kit and turning them off would void it.

Makes sense. Thanks guys!
