Sorry for any delay. I need to get you guys the Dyno graphs and I believe they are at his shop - I thought he put them in my truck.
So we tweaked everything and I need to drive it week to give him the feedback as we made some changes on the TCM tune as well.
I did ask him how it would work rolling it out and Mike mentioned that he wanted to do it safely and with more data on his end. He did say he had some preorders and they likely can send out the nGuage to at least read the stock tune but would not release the upgrade tune till it was completed. I think 1-2 weeks max.
I can proudly say that he hit his target of 100Hp increase and 100tq increase and you can really feel the difference. He said there was more and with the right cooling upgrades that would supply better flow of cooled charged air he likely would go up another 20Hp consistenly.
So far the truck feels really good. I went back to the skip shift pattern (1 to 3 to 5 to 7) vs. the 1,2,3,4 etc. Since we have so many gears in light traffic I could feel it shift too frequently. The truck is adapting to the new change and so am I.
The quick difference that my butt Dyno feels.
1. More linear and consistent power across the power band
2. More acceleration at full throttle especially at 20-60 mph (*likely where you will use it the most).
3. The car accelerated past 90 mph much quicker than I remember. In fact on the highway I had to relax a little as I was going much faster than I actually thought I was.
4. Downshifts are good and there is no jerky feel to it. I believe the TCM is adapting a little and will likely need another day to adapt to how I like to drive it as well.
If you were just doing one upgrade to the truck for power - this is the one to do. I do not think the intake will do much and if I was to do anything more I would just drop in a K&N filter and do a larger inter cooler (Wagner or something similar).
