I know modern on-board CPU's are pretty hard to mess with other than maybe a performance chip. However, I'm in a group with a bunch of computer nerds who find it challenging to re-write code and crack/hack software. It seems to me that I could plug my laptop into my F150's CPU adapter and run a certain software that will display all the factory settings. Then, I can re-program the factory settings to work for what I want to do. Example, increase the ignition timing curve or adjust EGR settings....etc. Anything out there that will do something like what I just described or we just handcuffed to the factory settings?

Thx,

search tuners and youll find tons of info. you can return the stock computer in about 2 minutes without a computer.

where in anaheim are you? im in anaheim too

 

Ignition timing curve, shift points, RPM's, etc. can all be changed with a tuner. I'd look into that before you start 'hacking' into your PCM. Tuners can save the factory default settings in case you change something you shouldn't have.

 

HP Tuners is what I got you can tune every aspect of the PCM about $500 i would also get the wide band O2 censer also, I LOVE IT, it takes 2 credits to tune each truck you get 8 when you by the kit

 

You can tune Ford and Chevy Dodge coming soon

 

i have a sniper tuner...(have not gotten it to work right)... it scares me to mess with it really haha... you can data log with it and everything... i know nothing about that stuff though

 

anyone have bully dog triple dog tuner, what settings are you running?
