Yeah, 2015+ 5.0 F150s are speed density and fords math for that is pretty complicated.

But as more and more of these new Fords are going speed density we will end up with more tuners doing them.

TX-Ripper,

I am still running the stock 3.725" pulley and though about moving to a 3.5". Have you done this and will the stock fuel system support this on 93 octane?

I am still waiting on my OZ HP Tuner tune. It has been a month and HP has not added the latest Whipple tune (which I have) in their software. Ken has a support ticket in with them but we are low on the priority list since they don't sell as many F150 Whipple tunes as they do other vehicles. Since I can't go backwards on the Whipple tunes I am stuck for now.

We replaced the Whipple supplied MAP sensor and harness on my truck with the same Mustang sensor. The Whipple supplied Ford sensor was bad right out of the box...just plain old bad luck.

Good news whipple is about to drop an new cal to “greatly improve transmission tuning” and make a little more power.


I would ask oz about the 3.5, I don’t think it will work well without longtubes and no cats

or e50-85

It just so happens that I have longtubes with no cats sitting in a box in my garage.

Is that something to do with the 18’s? The older years will easily take a 3.5” pulley on 93 with a BAP...at 7500rpm too.

Let us know how it goes.

The 2015-17 truck really needed the extra airflow to make power and got away with a lot due to the lower compression.

The 2018 is a lot less forgiving and playing on the edge of knock (think cylinder pressure and combustion stability limits) with this motor will cost you.

You can can ask Dustin Whipple but I believe they found out the hard way with their 2018 mustang testing.

Yes 2018 with the 12:1 compression.

If we could run 100% direct injection this would not be as much of a problem.

The current limit is 70%di and 30% port at wot with gasoline

And 60/40 with E85

I questioned that early on and everyone said the DI would make it possible. I was talking to Eric at ID a couple of days ago...he was saying the same things about the fuel system and how it’s really ran right to the edge of what it can do. Combine that with the tiny heat exchanger and intercooler on the new Roush and it’s even worse. I’ve seen a few guys saying their cruising IAT’s are in the 180 range.
