my tune is based off of a SCT custom chip.... This was done weeks ago, which netted me 512 rwhp at 11 psi using an 8 inch crank and 3.33 blower pulley.... anyways, on the way home from getting it tuned, it pinged at 4500+... Of course as soon as i heard it ping, i let off and that was it........ I called the place and they told me that theyll pull more timing out up top and that should fix it free of charge....
Sooo i went there yesterday and they took my chip and pulled 3 degrees more out uptop... before i left, he told me to take it for a test ride... I did so and it rippped down the road... 3rd gear pulled alll the way through... after i told him it was allright, i drove home and within 30 minutes, 4th gear uptop started to ping.....
This tells me what? my discharge is wayyyyy too hott??? It seems like its happening after the car is being ran long
I then called the place again and he was telling me about running a vortech aftercooler (one thing i dont wanna spend 1500 dollars on), or an intercooler.....BUT, before i did that he told me he wanted to try one more thing... He wants me to disconnect my ACT wire but leave the ACT in......Take my discharge pipe off and drill it for a 01 lightnight or 95 mustang ACT and run the wires to that.... This way he can pull timing based off the discharge air...
How does that sound??? Think that would work??? Do you guys really thing i may need to resort to an intercooler??? Is there anything else that can GREATLY drop my discharge air going to the motor???
Some suggested that it is time for a fuel system at my 513 mark, but i tend to disagree because my air fuel was 11.5 flat up to redline.....
