new PTF stage 2 log (now FBO)

Msport335 · 03-30-2014, 07:53 PM

finally a nice day here so i decided to make a couple pulls. since the last time i made some pulls back in november i am now full bolt on. just yesterday i installed a 7" vrsf fmic and ngk 5992 plugs gapped to .022.

so my mods now are :
bms catless dp's
bms DCI
7" vrsf fmic
er charge pipe
currently running sunoco 94 and the tune I'm running is the PTF tune which i ran when only having DCI's and BMS dp's

i made the pulls on the same roads and ended up losing power (about 10whp) compared to my last pull before the fmic back in november or so using virtual dyno (its what i use to compare). wouldn't bolting on the new FMIC give me increased power or does my tune have to change accordingly ?

the loss of power now is getting to me....also wondering if its the fuel....maybe a winter blend of 94?

there re 2 logs here.....one is 3rd gear....one is 3-4th gear pull http://www.datazap.me/u/msport335/fbo-ptf-stage-2

The transition from log 59 to 60 was clearing up. I think you need some time for the ECU to readapt. I would reset the ECU for a fresh adaptation for the overall mods

You got timing pulls accross all the cyls. Definitely octane related there.

Should I add a little e85 into the mix to see if that cleans up the timing pulls?
And any clue as to why I would be making less power with the fmic ....I would have expected a gain of 10 instead I lost about 10 according to v-dyno

where would you get e85?! across the border?

Yeah come spring and summer I make a lot of trips to Lewiston....not far at all for me.

Do a E20 - E25 mix just to make sure it's octane related. Your fuel table will be fine running E20 - E25
