kahmann Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 UPDATE: Well apparently the code on the sticker under the hood is not correct. Mine reads XZE2 and so this was throwing him off; at least that's the theory. He had me load the Paxton and Stock tunes of course with the Diablo and read the stategy with the SCT; it read FPASAU9 for both. He said this was totally different from what he started with based on the sticker under the hood. I'll be getting number six today ! Six is a charm, right? I curious as to what everyone else's PCM sticker reads. The sticker isn't accurate. The 'strategy code' for the SGT is FPASAU9. The sticker code only applies to the original factory tune from Ford.

HARALD KELLEY Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think a TS member had a similar problem when they loaded a custom tune in a GTH. The computer was changed so the tune did not work becouse the tuner did not realize this. Once figured out, worked like a charm. Good luck!

kahmann Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Considering that the blower is your only real performance mod (aside from the Steeda plates), netting 50 RWHP or so is pretty damn good for a non-IC 1200 Novi. However, I'd say there's still room for improvement and it's most likely in the tune. If I were you, I'd get a custom tune written at the dyno shop or from a different shop online. You should be at least north of 350 RWHP with your setup IMO. Good luck Ed. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly some room to lean that out. Any idea what your global timing is set at? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rush_junky Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Oh...the tune mistakenly had 4.10 gear ratio; would that make a difference in the readings? I wouldn't think so but thought I'd ask anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yes, original with 14,650 miles. At the very least, you need to change those, no question before a blower upgrade. At best, upgrade to the zero degree plugs. You'll gain nothing by messing with the electrodes on the old plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
