The Tune by SVC

[Geo_Tactical]

I run 92 in mine (high octane in WA) and it seems to run a bit stronger/better gas mileage. I've swapped back and forth a few times and it seems when it's hotter out there's a bigger difference. Could be variables in my testing though!

I've noticed the temperature difference thing as well.

I'm with the rest of the ones who feel we own a $60k truck that we are modifying for better performance and handling why would you think about running cheap fuel!!! Its like buying a custom rifle to shoot a 1000yds then going and buying cheap ammo and expect it to perform the same that it was built for.

Performance gains from running 91 octane instead of 87 octane is minimal IMO. I got the tune for the better shifting, removing the governor, and overall more efficiency. I didn't purchase the tune for a few more HP as the stock HP will already exceed the capabilities of the stock suspension. I guess I should run 91 octane now that I have Kings, Deavers, and bump stops though LOL.

When I went for a tune, octane compensation was a feature I wanted to maintain. My dyno tuner did that for me and provided an excellent tune for drivability. I don't always have the chance to get high octane, so that was the driving force. As I change octane levels, I can tell the difference in performance. I have never encountered any problems with this and the tune has been in there for a long time. I like it - works for me. It looks like SVC was accomplishing the same thing, so good for them.

Ehhh no one really cares about what you say @02_Lightning

Is there an eta on v3?

Summer, need to do thermal testing.

I purchased a sct tuner for my f250- it stopped connecting to the truck after the first 3 months . I just traded the 250 for a 2012 raptor, can I send this tuner in to get reprogrammed for my new raptor?

I live @ 4,400' altitude, hunt and off road up to 10,000', My truck daily driving is a pig at light to part throttle, it bogs badly. I am a mechanic by trade as well as a shop owner (37 years) have raced cars, boats etc.. I have modified hundreds upon hundreds of vehicles, boats, etc..

I know these computers adapt well for altitudes, but they still have like 5 maps ( example ) that the tuner has wrote advance curve / fuel curves into. I guarantee my truck needs more timing. I currently am running the 5 star Daily Driver 87 tune & bumped up the Global Spark 2 degrees to a 89 octane tune. It definitely is still a pig, their 91 performance tune is a bunch peppier but the shifting winds too long @ part throttle and constantly downshifts.

I'll bet I could run a 91 tune on 89 with no ping at all due to my base altitude. I also smell my cats at different throttles almost daily at least once, and I don't like it. As I don't want to fry my cats and eventually I feel it will. I need a real "custom" tune not a canned tune for the masses, I understand the vast majority live mostly @ sea level to 1,000' but to me its not a custom tune just because you / they have a tweak for my Intake and exhaust. Altitude rule of thumb has always been advance 1 degree per every 1,000' feet with a wot value of 40 to 42 total (in older stuff) I haven't messed with mapping in quite awhile and shit has changed a bunch since.

I would like to know
#1 "the tune's" timing / fuel maps, obviously they are tweaking them
#2 how many maps are there that the computer can switch to
# 3 Someone has worked with SVC already on bumping just the timing above your normal tune ( I have discussed both 5 star and your tune with him, I'm leaving out his name) you tweaked him a very custom tune with more advance on top of 0 tune and he is very happy.
#4 Will my SCT Livewire perform a data log for you or do I have to use a laptop and a special program?

I'm not spending any more money on tunes till I know my shit is going to run peppy without dropping my fuel mileage. Typically a bit more timing (when needed) adds to your fuel mileage not subtracts from it.

Will the tuner connect to the Raptor? If it does, new tunes can be emailed directly to you. If it doesn't, we'd be happy to help you do some trouble shooting on your device to get you up and running.
