Yes I have noticed this too. I never tried to read my truck when it was stock so I am not sure if it is whipple's calibration that causes this, or if it was like it from new.

Between this thread and the one about the twin-charged 5.4, I ran out of tissues in the office.


Simply stunning.

Just for future reference....after updating to the latest cal and 3.5" pulley, my truck had a misfire at 5000+ rpm. I pulled and regapped the plugs down to .028" and it cleaned it up, so if anyone else runs across it that's how you fix it. The new cal and pulley increased the cylinder pressure just enough for the issue to show up.

The ecoboost trucks commonly have this same problem. I had to regap the plugs on my 2011 eb twice in 50k miles.

No issues with my truck above 5K RPM with the 3.5" pulley and calibration but I have had issues with turbo cars misfiring on me before under boost and just like you said, 9 times out of 10 it is plugs with a gap that has opened up, and the boost blows out the spark on the larger gap.
