HP Tuners software in hand and tuning will begin!

[Buschur]

Hello!

We got the HP Tuners software in for the Maverick yesterday, had some time to get the files pulled from the truck and will get started tuning shortly. We have a Mustang 500AWD dyno here, things should progress quickly.

What do you expect the limiting factor to be? Any worries about the transmission holding up to the torque?

I'm still trying to find out If we have the 8f35 or 8f45! I am pretty sure it's the 8f45, because info that I have found says the 8f35 can only handle 258lbft of torque, while the 8f45 can handle 354lbft. If we can keep torque on the mild side by controlling timing, I think we can push the power higher without instantly destroying our trans.

Like any build, there will be things that limit the power BUT also with all things, as long as the demand is there, after market parts will be built to handle whatever you want to do.

There is a full list of TCM tables, so some of what will limit the application can be addressed in there, just like tuning the GTR transmissions (which I can proudly say I was the first to figure out).

That's a reasonable assumption, I haven't look into which model trans it is. For us, if it breaks then we will find stronger parts, a lot of the aftermarket world is good with that. It's understandable that many bought this to drive, will want a little more of whatever they can get as long as it remains reliable.

Would this allow you to "fix" speed readings for larger tires/wheels?

Yes, that's in the program. Won't be an issue at all.

I have 31" tires going on mine, decided to order wheels instead of using the stock ones.

Coincidentally.. if that is your truck in your profile pic.. I am getting same color, but hybrid with lariat. I too want black wheels and big tires. Can you share details of what wheels/tire you will be getting. Also... I am assuming you did a lift?

That's my truck but the picture from Ford, exact truck though. I went with Enkei 17" Matrix wheels and Toyo open country tires. I haven't done a lift yet, the tires fit without it but will once someone releases something worthy of using.
