Finally Tuned!!! But wait .. Snow

[SHOdded]

Yup.  If you can't get straight 93 gas, I'd highly recommend 91 tune + 93 gas.  If you keep your foot out of it, like Z said, you can keep the 93 tune loaded.

Even with shell 93 cpower its probably not as good as it is during summer time. I would still not take a chance and go to 91 tune for now.

That's good to know, I'll make the switch later on today or tomorrow till the weather is about 40°

Do you think Ford Motor Company offers tunes for different seasons?

Umm no. They don't. And they're equally as safe as an aftermarket tune is, when going WOT.

I routinely go WOT during the Winter months (when road conditions permit) on my DD driven tune file and have experienced ZERO ISSUES.

@ ElvenSho.... We all get the fact that you don't agree with certain vendors who don't care for data logging (& the explanations why have been explained numerous times) versus those vendors who do.....

Please..... Enough already.

All the tunes, offered by all the vendors are safe. Some just utilize different means to obtain an end. Move on already. Geezuz.

I am sorry you feel that way about me asking some questions. I never stated Unleashed tune is better then any other company. I was just questioning and trying to learn stuff. I guess even with a tune the car can still adjust as in your case, which I was not sure about.

I run my 91 octane tune up in northern mn using the winter blend 91. No problems, even at 16psi. Car runs great. That being said, the nearest gas station that offers 93 octane is over 100 miles away, or I might consider running 93. Either way it's not something you should be really worried about. Like others have stated, the car is smarter than you think, and it'll make sure it's not destroying itself in situations like that.

Hope the snow clears for ya soon enough to rightfully test out the new found breeze that propels the sails of the land yacht to sub 4 sec 0-60 pulls.

I'm running the 93 tune from Livernois also, have been all winter. At the arrival of winter blend fuel I watched some timing being pulled more than usual in "lugging" conditions, but at WOT the car was still in safe areas I felt (+1.5 kr at max through torque pro). Started to add a little e/85 (1.5 gallons) to each tank.

Cured the higher readings I was seeing and still in a safe area for ethanol %.

I do get fuel from a high traffic, nice car area(3,500 gallons of premium a week), from a fuel provider suggested by Livernois for our area....BP

Just be sure that all the fluids in the car are up to operating temps before getting on it in the cold. Even after letting car warm up for 10 minutes, it still takes another 10 minutes of driving to get the trans temp up to 100* in this cold.

Good luck with ecobeast, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the tune.

Until few days ago before I started tuning with Torrie I wouldn't have known that weather or winter gas has an effect on the tunes.

It seems to me like people could blow up their cars or something if they plan to run a 93 octane tune as a dd during winter.

The obvious doesn't have to be stated here.....

The OP, who expressed excitement about his newly uploaded tune file (which happens to be from LMS and oddly enough, it is well known they don't utilize data logging) shouldn't have to concern himself with statements such as "people could blow up their cars" by implying they use a tune file that doesn't incorporate data logging for perceived winter fuel conditions.

That's a completely baseless allegation.

The fact is, any of the aftermarket tunes currently offered by any of the vendors thus far, have proven reliable and safe. Regardless of winter or summer fuel blends.

To the OP, once again, enjoy your newly found power. No matter what grade, or what blend of fuel you happen to use, you can feel comfortable and rest assured, regardless of reckless statements posted, you will not blow up your engine. Good God.

Haha thank you. I will be posting how the yacht feels soon enough on clean highways.

Thanks Mike, we did start going into a direction that I was unaware of so I appreciate all the clarity. The streets are actually pretty clean out today in some areas so I'm hoping I can get a good test run on my way to the city later this evening 👍

hey bro I am not sure why your feeling the way you are, it might be that you have a tune that has not been datalogged? Not sure and really don't care. That statement could have been made for any tunes even the logged ones during summer time but using them in winter or logged in winter and used in summer... I would not recommend using a 93 tune in winter unless you know for sure the gas is good just after reading peoples responses in this thread. Yes it probably works and will be fine but do you want to take a chance? Its not like you will be going around racing anyways.
