2013 6.2 5 Star Tune Dyno Results!

[Hockster]

The real question is why would you live in a state that has emissions testing? Long tube cat delete all the way!!!!!

All my vehicles are registered in MI not in VA so I can install LT's if I feel like it ...

The Vette has Kooks LTs and high flow cats...I have heard that no cats can cause a nasty smell in the cockpit...

I wonder how much HP one would pick up with no Cats.? I know a clogged one will kill your hp...

Love it! Thanks for doing this---get a real world, actual read on each mod. Cannot wait to see what the headers do..

What's up with the ledge at 3800 RPM? Does the 5-star tune simply not modify any tables left of 3800?

In any case, that's an impressive increase!

Sweet! It's about time someone do this. Thanks for posting Mike.

Very cool. Can't wait to see what the rest of the mods do.

Funny that people are so fast to buy a tuner for their truck that adds 17 hp and 21ft tq but dont want shorty headers cause they dont give as much as LT headers. Yet shortys will pass any state emission test and LTs wont...

In Texas, as long as you don't have a CEL, you should pass emissions. They don't really do visual checks here. There are ways to set the tune up with LTs and cats that will pass. The only thing that gives a clue something is up is that one of the readiness checks will come back as "not ready", but on OBD II vehicles, that is allowed here and will pass.

I chose not to deal with the ******** that a dealer can offer with LT's installed. Unless you have a great dealer( ha ha.. how many are there) they can put you through some shit if you have a problem... and for the 20-40 hp they add it aint worth it... And contrary to popular belief Ford can tell when a tuner has been installed and removed... There are changes that are counted and they are find-able if they want to find them... When Warranty is gone fine.

Another good reason I have to move to Texas in 2014
