More power tuning

[Jackie]

No need for pc any more and mpt does not recommend stacking them.. throttle response is excellent with the tune and actually may need to be dialed back a bit. Go ahead and put it up for sale.

Thank you for the response! PC going up in the garage sale section...

I understand the change from normal mode to sport mode changes the transmission pattern, does it also change power output?

If so does having the mpt tune make different power from normal to sport? Or is it same power across all modes, with difference in tranny?

I believe turbo psi is increased from normal to sport. I was reading 16.4ish in normal and 18ish in sport on my stock tune using the ngauge.

I called and asked this. You CAN get just an ECU tune and just the power and torque is updated. Transmission and mode selection is unaffected.

Same power across however throttle response is changed so it may feel like there is more but it's just more responsive. Transmission strategies are noticeably different as well.

I will also add that Mike at mpt explained in the email he sent with my tunes that at this time he's not 100% happy with the trans tuning and is expecting a "major update " from ngauge to allow him much more flexibility in that department. There are a couple small issues however it's still better than stock.

I had my tunes revised taking out the trans tune and cutting back the throttle boost and now so much better for daily driving.

The problem with that statement is that the dealer WILL know the truck was tuned. You have to pay to play, so be prepared to fork out money for warranty issues.

Well we ALL know what you are saying is only partially true, the dealer will know the PCU was flashed as it has only a flash counter but with out serious forensics they wont know who flashed it. The warranty issue will only apply to any issue potentially caused by the tune so for instance if a lower ball joint fails then even if they see the PCU flash it has nothing to do with the warranty claim.

You really need to stop telling only half truths.

Good luck fighting it.... lots of time and money to battle a large manufacturer. If you have been around long enough tuning Ford/GM/Chrysler/Dodge products, you would know that they are not afraid to deny all warranty on anything modified.

Has MPT given any idea when the 2018 tunes will be ready?

Especially now days. We aren't talking ignition and fuel maps anymore. It's cam phasing (which changes dynamic compression), wide band O2 sensors, fuel systems that run in closed loop WOT, catalytic overheat protection algorithms, boost, shift speed/timing, trannies that make even a Porsche PDK look ancient. I don't blame them.

The manufacturers run these engines through full power dynos that last WEEKS... continuously. They don't know how the end user will treat the vehicle but everyone expects it to last 200k.
