Not really lol. I've just been concerned about having the proper protection since supercharging. I think a change from 5w20 is in order though so I'll probably follow your lead and run 5w30......

At one point in time, I had decided on the 0w40 (but never used it). It's used by srt in the hellcat, which actually has a lower specific torque output than a whipple 5.0. It's also used by the pennzoil formula1 car as-is. Plus I had a dyno test where a sbc made the most power with a 40 weight, as compared to a 30 and 50. Eventually, I couldn't get comfortable with it because it's a big breakaway from what ford uses in anything, which admittedly isnt a very technical reason.

Let me know if your new cal raises the rev limiter and/or shift points.

I was told it changes shift points I'll ask when I get it about the rev limiter

Exciting times is really an understatement! Nice to hear that you are still very happy with the setup after this long, it says a lot for the quality of the kit and tuning! The fact that this kit comes on the Shelby F150 complete with a warranty also says a lot.

I'm excited to hear how you like the new tune, my kit is due to ship on July 15th so I should have the latest software by the time it gets delivered.

As for the oil, wether you choose the 5w30 or 0w40 either will be a good upgrade to the 5w20 factory recommended oil. To your other question, whatever you run in the car, run it in the truck too, the coyote is the same in both vehicles as far as lubrication requirements are concerned, (same main and rod bearing clearances, same oil pump, cam phasers, and same oil pressure relief setting). Running boost on an engine and making this kind of power requires an oil that has more film strength under the inevitably high loads the engine will see. I currently use Mobil 1 0w40 in 2011 BMW M3 (8400 RPM, 4.0 V8 that makes 414HP) based on my own research and recommendations from a friend of mine that builds engines for the Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR team. He has the equipment available to test oils and of all he has tested he recommended the Mobil 1 European car 0w40 due to many factors. Some of them are the fact that it is made from a group IV base-stock, 1200+PPM OF ZDDP, has excellent shear resistance, it flows well at cold temps yet offered great protection at higher temps, it is factory fill for tons of high performance cars, you can run it year round and don't have to worry about changing the oil out as temps drop, and finally it is cost effective and readily available.

The main reason I will be using the Mobil 0w40 in my F150 is not having to worry about having a winter and summer oil. I live in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada and winters are long and cold, and having one oil do it all is very convienent.

I hear ya on the 0w vs 5w since you live in the south, not that much of a concern for sure. Of note though, Mobil 1 European car formula is a Group IV base-stock and is really an exceptional oil.

Can't wait to hear about your friends truck when it is done.

If you use your truck in the winter I would find an oil you like in a 0w40 or 0w30 that can be your year round oil, it really makes it convienent when a cold snap sneaks up on you!

Sure will

Very true

Run what your comfortable with, either weight in a good quality synthetic will be an upgrade, but as I said above, in your climate a 0w oil will be easier since there would no longer be a winter or summer oil, just one kind of oil for both your Whippled Coyotes.

The 40 in my opinion is a great compromise when it comes to the recommended oil grades across the different applications that the coyote is used. Do some research on the Mobil 1 European car formula that I mentioned above while you are at it, it is a very robust Group IV oil.

My Kit showed up Wednesday, and Whipple included two extra pulleys (3.75 and 3.625) no charge. I laid all the pieces out on my bench last night and scanned the truck with the Flare flash tool to get the info needed for Whipple to build me my tune.

I'm gonna start the install on Sunday evening and finish it up on Monday.

Can't wait to feel how this thing runs with the blower installed!!!

Exciting times my friend! Take your time and have fun!

Just got word from Dustin Whipple last night that the new cal will produce 50-60 more rear wheel torque!!!! Wooohoooo!!!

Can't wait to get that email

engineermike

Jsedecker, did you request those pulleys? The kits used to only come with 3.875.

Now you guys got me wondering if I have the latest latest latest calibration. This one feels very torquey but it's more in the pedal response and trans strategy than wot. I got it on 5/3/16 and it does not include the flight control features.

You have a newer cal than I do but the one I mentioned is not officially out yet. I keep saying this but it is very close lol. As soon as I get it I will update here so everyone knows.

The kit comes standard with 3.75" pulley, I'm assuming he at least mentioned wanting the 3.625" or they just goofed up and sent it by accident. Its an expensive upgrade and I'm sure they don't automatically send both.

Dustin mentioned the new cal will allow going smaller than 3.625" but I'm not sure if this is possible on 93 octane. I will also update with this information.

As to your mention of "flight control' this is only available on the mustang stage 2 kits.

Yes sir, I'll take my time and no doubt I'll have lots of fun.

Great news on the new tune, did he say when it would be available?

I ordered the pulleys after the kit and requested that they ship them out with the kit to save on the shipping but instead I got an email saying they cancelled the pulley order and added them to the order with the kit. The updated invoice showed $0 by each additional pulley.
