    2019 WOT engine ping/detonate at 5500 rpm

    If you saw +5.5 the truck was adding timing, and -5.5 was pulling timing. Modern Fords will Add or subtract timing based on the presence of knock.

    2019 WOT engine ping/detonate at 5500 rpm

    As far as detonation, if that is the case with your raptor you can try motorcraft SP-550 plugs gapped at .028" Depending on model year and build date, some trucks already come equipped with them. We run them in all our tuned raptors which are running more boost with more power and thus far no...

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering Stage 1 Ecoboost Upgrade Kit Sale!!!

    Whipple changed the design on their air kits based on model year due to carb approval being seeked. We've installed both in house without issue, across all years so far. The open air box has rubber weatherstripping if you look closely, and seals to the hood once it is shut. Every air kit I have...

    BBK Throttle Body

    Devil is in the details... I would remain optimistic with this T/B to have good longevity, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does not.

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    I got a customer selling a Full bolt on GT350 ready for track duty if that is your kinda right car ;) We tuned it too!!

    BBK Throttle Body

    Wow, perhaps they caught on from over the years...o_O First I've seen of a BBK offering OEM electronics and hardware, that's a big step in the right direction. I'd like to get one and tear it apart.:)

    BBK Throttle Body

    It may pick up a tad bit of power if any,(20 seems high) but the internal gears in BBK throttle bodies are often a soft metal that degrades over time which can lead to stalling and limp mode issues. We haven't experienced this on a Gen 2, but we have experienced BBK T/B's on 6.2 Raptors and...

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    Early F-150 EB guys did it a lot and some swore buy it, but if I had a Raptor you could bet all sin in Las Vegas I wouldn't do that personally.

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    It seems as if this was a hot button issue a few years ago with 14 pages here on FRF. Most of the information did seem to come from a well documented troll so information is more than questionable. Seems as if the reason regarding a drain hole is certain atmospheric conditions+cooling the air...

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    The Whipple parts still carry their individual C.A.R.B approval, that we do not alter. The difference between Whipple's kit and ours is we supply custom tuning, and we use the SP-550 plugs gapped at .028"

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    The original R&D customer in California is in Irvine. We have a bunch of raptors in CA now. Before we finished our tune for the 17+ Raptors we did a lot of Whipple kits and did like their tuning, but we wanted to take these trucks a step further. We have a very good relationship with Whipple...

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    To my knowledge, COBB does not tune the transmission yet which does leave a lot on the table with these trucks. Power is cylinder pressure at the right time, so we feel that we have it reliable down pat running a tad more boost. Our tune was in development for a couple of years as there is a...

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    You're welcome! We like the Whipple Air Kit and Intercooler due to their simplicity and ease of install. The Intercooler retains the fans and shutters leading to OEM level reliability and cooler IAT's. With our tune v.s. the Whipple tune there are a few key differences: We tend to have a bit...

    Cobb Stage 2 or Whipple Stage 1 ?

    This is our 20th year of business as a Ford Specialty shop. We did thousands of Gen 1 Raptors N/A and Supercharged alike. There are a lot of posts on the Gen 1 forum. Our tuner was a Calibration Engineer in Michigan for Ford Motor Company before diving into the aftermarket. He worked with...

    Oil temperatures

    This sounds spot on to me. If you dig on the internet, a Ford engineer commented on proper oil temps in a Q and A session when the 13-14 GT500 came out. Too cold can be a problem, if I recall Ford targeted 225-230 on the GT500's running 5w-50 I am guessing in extreme conditions the oil to...

    Best Intercooler for Stock Location?

    We use the Whipple units on all in house installs along with our upgrade kits and love them. Some have had a few head scratching moments when installing them (fans go up before the intercooler separately,) but other than that, we have had very good luck with the Whipple intercoolers.

    Bully Dog GTX

    If you can find the device S/N (probably under vehicle info) I can get a custom tune made for that truck that will blow the SCT/Bullydog preload tune out of the water. I have not had a GTX in my hands, but usually with most touch screen SCT/Bullydog devices if you can press and hold a parameter...
