Today, I set a date to get my resonator put back in Friday.  AND, ordered a 3 Bar Sensor and 3 Bar tunes!  Yeehaw!

details  who ? what ? when ? where ? and most importantly why ?! :)

Dave... Re: 3 bar sensor. Are you running a significantly increased boost?  I know your not doing meth.... or are you planning to....?

I don't like that the LMS XV1 tune has been put off either for a long time, or possibly forever with out meth. I'd buy support mods if needed to run it. I just want to run boost to redline my SHO leaves me wanting on the highway after 5k rpms. Maybe that will change with the release of larger direct injection fuel injectors possibly this year and some other fuel deliver modifications. Seems like there's just not enough demand for our cars to justify the additional time to work on our tuning. 

You may want to check on a 3 bar tune.  That's next in store for me.  I thought that the latest tunes for 13-14's were equivalent to the Stage 4+.  4+ will hold the boost out longer. Our turbos are controlled by torque demand.  If you are boosting over 14.5 the ECU can't read it and holds steady.  With a 3 Bar sensor, your ECU can read boosts above 14.5 and supply more fuel.  That may get you where you want to go.


EDIT-And yes, I am running a custom tune that has higher boost below 2K and over 5K based on my dyno at LMS.  No meth for me.

Probably not as exciting as everyone else but I used my manual shift mode for the first time today.. I sucked at it of course but hey im young lol.
Theres no time like SHOTIME!!

I'd be very interested to see the following comparison if you have time and energy to do it.

Data via torque regarding performance (0-60 etc), virtual dyno, and boost levels for:
•current tune with 2BAR
•current tune with 3BAR
•new tune with 2BAR
•new tune with 3BAR

TIA and understand if time doesn't permit...

You can't run 2 Bar tune with 3 Bar Sensor and vice versa.

Info I got from Anthony at LMS RE: 3bar MAP tunes.

Reason for the 3bar tune. He sent me a new 93V7CW tune. Any idea what the "CW" is ?

Your vehicle may allow for more boost if it sees fit.  The vehicles base boost off of torque on the ecoboost platform so every vehicle can vary depending on climate, barometric pressure and so on. 

they sent me that new tune today but not to include running a 3bar MAP. I guess he missed my request to include that to see if it will make any difference.

CW is the cold weather tune.  I don't know why you would need that in Houston. There may be other tweaks to it from the previous version.

Saves me the trouble of running all those tests you requested.  :clown:

Well, I guess ill have to do another update once its all shown up, but I have been ordering parts lately.

Already here, H&R Springs, And rear camber bolts just in case.

Ordered and on the way: EBC Slotted Rotors, EBC Yellow Stuff pads, and steel braided lines. Also doing a complete brake fluid flush.

Should make for a fun day out in the garage once it all gets here. :D I plan to also clean and paint the calipers black with that high gloss caliper paint, at the same time. Nothing fancy, just clean them up a little.

Finally got that the rear BOV to VTA and the noise level is much louder now and I think I like it.

I just installed a set of SP534 plugs in my MKS with 46,000 miles.  The old plugs looked good and the gaps hadn't eroded as much as I expected.  They were all around .038.  I have been running the LMS tune for about the last 12,000 miles.  The car ran fabulously on the old plugs and runs equally well on the new ones.  The roads around here are so snow packed, I couldn't get on it but the overall idle quality and smoothness is perfect.

Overall, while good maintenance, I doubt if I gained anything.  However, the pleasure of fondling the private parts of the 3.5 Ecoboost powerplant made the job worthwhile.  For $24 at O'Reilly auto parts, I spent about an hour doing something I enjoy.    ;D
