manley makes rods and pistons. crank i dont believe anyone does forged. i dont believe livernois is forged, the site says its treated. you could just get a new oem one cryo treated.
manley rods part number 14322-8
speaking to several tuners the issue for tuning is the tb and all of the tables that are needed for the GT500 tb to work. all of the torque tables are effected by these tb based tables. the gt500 also uses different tps vs my truck. we believe that we might be able to get the whipple running...
When i talked to livernois about the cams issue i had they told me they dont do remote tuning. truck needs to be at their shop for tuning.
there are differences in the tables and software, like my truck is flex fuel capable, factory has different cam profile, there are some others as well but i...
we might have figured out another option to get this to work on the truck but for now the truck is going back to n/a. the one option we found is using a stock tb. this does mean giving up some power but then we dont run into tuning issues. the tables needed to use the gt500 tb dont exist in my...
so i got bad news on this build. the whipple is coming off. Tuning seems to be a nightmare with the version of copperhead that my truck has. my shop couldnt get the truck to idle and the ford tb data for the gt500 made the idle worse. We reached out to 5 star and they said that it was out of...
so the whipple is installed in the truck and the fuel injector data is set. just working on getting the truck running right to get on the dyno. im sure the shop is annoyed by me since i am impatient when it comes to mods.
thats interesting that you had those issues cause they tune a bunch of the 6.2 super duties and the guys that get long tubes were told flat out they wont touch settings for o2 sensors. i was told by them they would not touch any of those cause i asked if they would when i bought my headers and...
so as expected the install of the whipple on a super duty is a little more complicated. the shop has said whipple has been very helpful though on the differences.
So in order to prep for the install of the whipple on my truck I bought Fuel injector clinic 775cc injectors due to buying the tuner kit since whipple doesn't offer a tune for my year truck. The plan for now is to keep the 3.5" pulley with the possibility of moving to the 3.375 pulley at some...
at least yours leaves the road. the couple of owners in my area that i have talked to are to worried about getting theirs getting dirty or some damage. I like the TRX and the raptor and i would have no issues getting mine dirty.
your right it could be the general differences in how the trucks are used. the super dutys are generally getting more loaded and towing strain and probably not cleaned as well. i did have an issue with several of my oem plugs being caked with corrosion at 50k. i did swap coils but kept all the...
maybe the raptors are different but the ford coils are notorious for dying in the super duty groups im in. its about once a week someone asks about the arcing they are getting from a coil being shot. the msd coils should not be looked at as an upgrade though. i know people that have them in...
thoughts on injectors for this build? i was looking at fuel injector clinic injectors in either 775cc or 1000cc. plan is to run the stock size pulley and at most maybe the 3.375 pulley.
wasnt sure since mine will be going on a 250 that is flex fuel. was also looking at the AFCO upgrade heat exchanger due to towing a 10k camper 6-10 times a year
makes sense. a negative experience would make me stay away from a company. its kind of how i feel about Livernois. long term id like to go forged short block and will go with a local builder or possibly MMR, but i see mixed reviews.
ive never had an issue with 5 star in the past, they are what i had on my truck before i did long tubes. any particular reason you dont like them?
i have a local tuner that did the tuning on the truck but he only does HP tuners and a bunch of the tables for tuning my trans arent there. i have...
sorry for leaving this thread to wither. so outcome was nothing impressive to me. they might have slightly help offset the power lost due to 4.88 gear swap and larger tires. they might be worth it with forced induction. but if i had to do it over again i would just go with the whipple. the...
nice to see more people looking to do more cam/head work especially if the price is better. those first set of cams have a little more intake duration but less exhaust then the livernois cams based on the specs i have for mine.
