Default 2008 hd awd whipple supercharged

hi guys new to this forum....i have a 2008 f150 harley just recently added a whipple 2.3 twins screw supercharger and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a shop preferably in Alberta that does tuning?

Im running the stock whipple tune for now but there is a lot more hp to be had

the problem here in calgary is there is no awd dyno so i may just need a tuner who can data log my truck. can anyone recommend a shop? besides davenport

First off welcome to the forum. Truck looks sick and will look better with that slight drop. I would defiantly recommend calling mike at troyyer performace he specializes in f150 and can tune your truck. He will recommend a sct tuner. Defiantly worth the wait for them. Trust me

I think troyer would be an excellent choice for tuning. Not so sure about having tunes just sent to your door compared to live dyno tuning.

Also, talk to the member Blown Ford. He has a whipple supercharged truck as well putting down ridiculous numbers. I'm sure he will chime in on this soon enough.

Yep. Here I am. Twinskrewd from the other forum Blownford here. And like I said there Troyer is a great guy and a wealth of info but these vaccum bypasses combined with drive by wire are his achilles heel. JDM for the win on the Whipple. They will be doing my retune.
Troyer can tune the Roushcharger all day long with the electric bypass. And he has written me a safe and powerful tune for my truck but the throttle surge issues when cold and the bog down at the 1/8 mile traps are not going away. I have given up on him for that. He needs the truck there for multiple days to figure it out or so he says and I'm not driving 6hrs one way and staying in a motel for 2-3 nights for it. And after talking to numerous others who have had the same issue it never gets corrected. For that money I can have JDM write tunes. JDM has zero complaints. They use SCT and Jim Sr and Jr have impressed me so far. Can't wait to do business with them.

Also nothing wrong with an email tune. Troyer and JDM are both capable of writing good tunes. Just be prepared for throttle surging if you go with Troyer. Also you can go to a local dyno with your tune and data log with the SCT the. Send the results to JDM and they will make the tweaks for free to the tune just as they would on their dyno.

good info i was talking with Twinskrewd on the other forum is well he did recommend JDM so i think thats the way im going. He also recommend going to 39 or 42lb injectors now i just got my supercharger installed but if i were to cahnge the injectors my self do you have to remove the blower again it looks like i dont have to but im not sure....i wish i had done the injectors to begin with when eveything was off now just cost more time and money now ...never ending.
