Pulley only
#101
I owned a ford lighting years ago that wouldn't necessarily agree with you. Pulley alone did increase performance, but mixture leaned out and detonation was audible. Today's computers may catch knock sooner, but what if it doesn't? Hope you have access to 93 octane.....

Is anyone running E70 or there abouts? How flex fuel are we? Is there a harness mod?

I tried to offer up this possibility earlier in the thread and was ignored; he's going to believe what he wants to believe regardless of what anyone says, even if they're the most experienced person on the subject. Best to just let him blow his engine up at this point; only way he'll learn.

I would suggest getting a good scan tool that can give you real time monitoring and logging of individual cylinder misfires. If there are misfires, it's going to undo what you're trying to accomplish. You'd want to observe timing before and after the pulley swap and see if it's pulling timing on you. We don't know exactly how the stock tune will react until you do.

I usually run Torque Pro while driving. Why would running the same peak psi cause misfires? In daily driving its no different than a 3000' altitude change.

All SC pulley websites say no tune is required. They est. +30-40 ft lbs under peak. How could a tune be required, we are talking about a 3000 ft change in pressure altitude?? You are worried about driving from Albuquerque to Oklahoma City without exploding, meanwhile you alpha-test a 620hp tune that voided your OEM warranty with no warranty offered from the tuner--who can't even post a before/after dyno.

You need a real scan tool. By the way, torque pro adds significant delay and dampening to all of its so-called "real time" readings, to make the gauges and graphs look pretty. Which might explain why you think there is a delay in the pedal. A proper tool does not screw up the readings to make them look pretty.

F-Type owners, maybe. But no one can here post any install info, no dynos, no photos, no video, just talk then crickets.
#114
I have actually. I've stated that with each request for pics/videos/DIYs. Thats a common and reasonable request. Got a link?

For the first time ever on a car forum, I've taken advantage of the "Ignore list." I'm looking forward to an improved experience here.

Must be a troll. He is deflecting. A normal reaction would be to respond with a picture of his car along with proof its not a stock photo.

Please look at the “V6S Tune” thread. Every single one of my engine mods has been documented with before and after data on a load bearing axle mounted dyno. Lots of info on that thread. The results are consistent with those claimed by VAP.

Sorry maybe i'm doing something wrong, searching with quotes returns nothing, without quotes returns too much.
