Hi all,

Got the reply with my digital Dyno sheets - no 4th gear . HOWEVER, it was mentioned that the guy did not use smoothing. Without me saying anything the files I got sent over to me were smoothed to 5. He probably just forgot at the time, it seems like he knows what he is doing at least a little .

I am definitely going to go back for a fresh couple of pulls in 4th gear with my truck nice and cooled off. I dont really trust the numbers I got from this series.

Hey guys here is another update. did alot of city driving and was able to keep an 18 MPG average this is amazing and i was not tring to make the best mpg at all i was pretty heavy footed when accelerating from a stop, not WOT of course but boosted to 5-6 psi to get my speed. i will do a freeway run of about 150miles in a week and a half i will do it at about 70 and see what i will get. Oh yeah by the way i did the blow off valve easy mod and its awesome.

Was it a noticable difference in sound? I've been debating doing it. I also plan on pulling my plugs soon to check the gaps. Just time is the one thing I don't have much of. Lol

Intake lets you hear it a bit better, a high flow or offroad downpipe really let's you hear it. And catback helps too but that mostly changes the sound of the truck besides performance

Are the spark plug gaps all over the place on all models or just earlier ecoboost? I have a 2013 so just wondering if it is worth my time. I'm not the most mechanically inclined... Well I am but everything I touch turns into a production.

From what I've seen on the forums, it's been all years. MOST are ok but those that are wrong, seem to have a couple plugs be REALLY gapped wrong.
