    Whipple VS COBB.

    The Whipple kit includes their own flash tool to load their tune in raptors. We use the Whipple intercooler and air kit in our kit with an SCT X4 that we write a custom tune for. We also change the spark plugs to SP-550's and gap them at .028" As Rocket had mentioned, we are doing a sale...

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    Working on a revision for your vehicle. If you don't mind shooting a call over I have a few things to nail down for us to send out a new tune. Can probably get something out today. The wrench pertains to the active shutters being altered from installing the mountune inter cooler. The other...

    Torque Application - HP and torque #s - accuracy opinions?

    You could perhaps do an ABA test flashing back to stock, trying it, and reloading our tune to see what's going on. Best bet would be to strap her down to the dyno and get some numbers! ;)

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    I get the warranty concern for sure! My DD is an 09 GT and my smart junction box is on the fritz. Wishing I was still under warranty right now... :emotions122:

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    @Miker397 You should give us a call man! We can make your raptor Fly. That GT350 looks insane! We have tuned GT350's in house for track duty as well. Here is a local guy that road races his GT350 we tuned and did some small aero work to: Here is some GT350 header porn...

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    You could be seeing the same fuel mileage in your truck, however there are more variables that can affect the final MPG calculated by the vehicle than just the tune. 1. Driving style and route (hills or elevation change.) 2. Tire size (rolling resistance a function of the tire and the surface...

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    We are doing this as precaution due to the flashing process interacting with multiple modules. We do not want to open the door for any issues to arise from modules trying to communicate. Although we have not experienced any issues, we'd rather err on the side of caution regarding a flash.

    Digging the chirp! Reliability and safety is key in all our tuning, from focus ST's all the way to Cobra Jet's and anything in between. Long before the raptor was even a dream at Ford, my boss was tuning baja trucks and an engineer at Ford and was the first to get the E40D (look at how far...

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    The best way to summarize our tune is it is not just for power gain, but to change the entire driving experience. It no longer feels like the engine and transmission are fighting themselves for where to be in the RPM band and gear. Often the stock raptors will hunt for a higher gear as fast as...

    This is more my style ;) But seriously I would hate to have to sift through the process of troubleshooting 11 modules on these trucks if something went wrong.

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    Highway420 was who I was taking about (420 lololol) Regarding the Forscan, we suggest all parameters be returned to stock before flashing our tune on your vehicle, but the BCM is most important to be taken care of. The BCM is not flashed by our tuner, however it does have alot of communication...

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    That is true about Ford having its own system which is safe in the stock tune, but once you attempt to make more power it should be addressed and calibrated accordingly due to having increased cylinder pressure and also being closer to detonation. If you have any other questions, I am more than...

    can TCM relearn bad habits?

    Unfortunately we only use SCT Devices due to the numbers of parameters available in the tuning software being the greatest in adjustment.

    GEN 2 JDM Engineering NEW Tune on the market!

    Sorry for the following lengthy post, but it is informative. Assuming you have 2 identical Raptors, you can increase power 5 main ways in any combination via tuning: Add more boost, add more timing, alter air to fuel ratio, alter port vs DI fueling ratio, and adjust cam timing. An engine is...

    Thank you for the good review! If anyone needs help, I will always answer. I get busy, so it may be before of after hours. I'm glad the tune was worth it for you, lets hope you can keep the tread on the rears on the street :Big Laugh:

    can TCM relearn bad habits?

    Unless the dealership has an update to apply to your vehicle, or the truck receives a custom tune this will be the case. Our JDM Engineering custom tune from the ground up revamps both the engine and transmission programming to eliminate the rough and clumsy behavior of the stock tune from Ford...

    Whipple kit help needed.

    If you were local and wanted to do a dyno tune as well, we could fit that truck no problem.
