These damn posts are KILLING ME. All these awesomely beautiful mods.

Sheeyat, I drove mine to Costco yesterday for some relatively cheap gas and a spending spree inside. Does that count?

Did you park it on top of anything?

Loaded gearhead performance tune....put 7500 miles on it to make sure nothing odd came up

can already tell the tranny is shifting smoother even w/ the truck on cold start

Have you ran anyone else’s tuning to compare. I am considering his tuning as he did well when I was running diesel trucks

I've ridden in a guy's Raptor who had the "old" cobb tune w/o tranny programming & it was.....not comparable, was 1/2 a tune alot of bluster & sporadic shifting from the tranny which makes sense b/c one hand aint talking to the other.

I've driven a truck w/ MPT 93 tune & I'd say the MPT tune may be making a little more power - particularly higher in the RPMS, but the transmission behavior was not as smooth & "intuitive" as the gearhead tune, I feel like the GH tune may have been making more power in the midrange though which is where I prefer especially w/ this vehicle

I don't care so much about peak HP dyno #s as I do about smooth positive shifts & not blowing up

I had 30k miles w/ GH tune in place on my last 2018 Raptor w/ no issues

I totally agree. I'm a lucky enough to be local to Matt and Larz. After my RMB block and CRP turbos I had them do a dyno tune. Must say the shift points are on point and the power is there. I have some injector or HPFP issue we need to work out but man this things is the bees knees even with the issues. I put down 470hp & 500ft/# to the tires with 37s. We stopped there cause of the fuel issue. But man it feels so good and smooth.
And get 14.5-15 mpg on highway at 80.

Off topic- I totally want to come to texas and drag race after i get my new motor in. I went with a forged bottom end, head work ( ported/polished and upgraded valve springs), upgraded injectors, timing set upgrades and the new garrett powermax turbos.

Ryan wanted me to hold off for those Garrett's but I just couldn't wait. I was already down for months. I pretty much have all of that except for the injectors and the turbos
Did you do port or DI injectors?
What HPFP did you go with?

yeah, I'm waiting on the new manifolds that FR is releasing for them.

We picked up 90 CFM with the head work. ( as well as velocity). The FR manifolds should give us an additional 30 CFM and we'll get more velocity.

I did DI XDI60 injectors . I'm going to run a new factory HPFP. I will upgrade it if I end up running E99 on a regular basis. ( but I don't forsee that. I am most interested in doing a dyno tune with Pemex 91 so I can get my "south of the border" performance dialed in.)

a few of my friends that did the Hyper Supercharged coyote upgrade have had a bunch of trouble with missing and pinging once they tried to run their trucks on the 91 we get south of the border. ( I want to avoid this. I even brought 20 gallons of fuel back from mexico with me.)
