GEN 2 COBB Accessport - Tuned by GooseTuned

[GooseTuned]

On the dyno with my Raptor! Doing some more testing looks like I found the limits of running ethanol blends. E70 is what I have in the tank. Will update soon!

So I've been meaning to get back on the dyno with full E70 in the tank of my test truck. Been really busy tuning and haven't had the opportunity until now.

Knowing that the knock suppression of E50 was already a huge difference over pump 91oct, I thought to myself that I'd like to see how far I could go on E70. Now keep in mind my truck still only has a COBB Cold air intake, COBB Front Mount Intercooler, and my custom tune via the COBB Accessport. No other modifications!

I made 503whp last October. So with no changes to the map at all I got back on the dyno to see what it would make and it made this. Same boost (21psi), same timing, and Air-Fuel Ratio. I overlaid the previous dyno chart so you could see the difference. Super consistent power!








Not bad! So I wanted to make some improvements over this. With higher quality fuel you NEED to run more ignition advance. So here is where things get interesting. I added 1* of timing over the previous map and I actually lowered boost to 18.5psi!!! The truck made this!










Solid gains over the October 2019 power bump from E50 and boost was 2.5psi LOWER!! I could see that ignition still needed to be worked on so I started with that. I noticed it made great peak power but at 5500rpm it lacked the smoothness that I wanted. After an hour or so dialing in ignition the truck laid down this:






Again, some solid gains, especially in the low and midrange!!! Boost wasn't touched, same 18.5psi from the previous run. One thing I noted during this round of tuning that I thought I'd share here is that while increasing boost increased power in the spool/midrange, torque was substantially increased. The truck made 599wtq raising boost back up which I didn't like. That was at 21psi with optimal ignition advance. Peak horsepower didn't change, so I lowered torque to give it a nice flat curve. Again, that was on E70. I still run higher boost on 91/93. Just personal preference here I didn't feel like that 2.5psi was worth much given I was able to make the same peak power. Now, if I wanted to drag race the truck this weekend I'd absolutely run that 21.5psi. Any little bit of torque will help!

So after about 2-4 hours this is what I ended up with. 520whp 572wtq. BIG BIG gains over stock: 155whp to be exact. The truck is much improved yet again. It's out of fuel capacity here, needs bigger PI at this point. That will come asap. The truck absolutely rips now. It's no longer the same truck, especially comparing to stock. I'll add a final chart below as well as the final chart compared to stock, which is quite comical!

Thanks once again guys for reading, and again for all of the support! We need some good news during this COVID-19 pandemic and I thought this would be encouraging! Take care guys, as always, any questions feel free to ask!

damn that is some serious power. nice increases over the E50 tune might have to get the E70 tune.

This is at the extreme limit of the fuel system. I can't offer this tune without the addition of upgraded port injectors.

I would like to see what your truck can do at the strip!!

 

[GooseTuned]

Me too....ours closed down a few months back. I'd have to travel a few hundred miles to take it to a strip

would these work? could we run straight E85 then no blend?

Sure would!

Can anyone shed some light on how the different stages feel during everyday spirited driving.

I daily drive mine and it's currently running @wgr73 e50 tune and feels great. Well summer is quickly approaching so I will be installing a CVF IC and 170 degree thermostat here shortly. I'm looking forward to the repeatable performance from my goosetune as it is now but I'm wondering if there has been anyone that has gone through each stage of power levels and can speak on the advantages from stage 1 to 2? Specifically anyone running the CVF IC, shout out to @CVF-Jason for the military discount.

Hope to hear from the goosetune mafia soon.....

Big thanks to @wgr73 for spending several
hours with me yesterday doing some remote fine tuning with me on the Dyno. I can’t say enough about how great he is to work with.
