    Ford Pro-Cal tool

    FRPP is in the process of redesigning the Pro-Cal tool. When you order the Pro-Cal tool you will specify your computer code taken from the sticker on the case, tire circumference, gear ratio, and fuel octane (91 or 93 only). As of now, this information is used to make the one premium tune...

    FRPP Supercharger?

    Your final cost could be less but you can see the variables that affect it. Budget for the worst and hope for the best. There are ford racing/whipple calibrations made for the 500 HP HO kit for automatic tranny cars but Ford did not feel comfortable about the durability. The 500HP HO kit...

    FRPP Supercharger?

    It is important to understand that the 400HP Whipple kit and HO 500HP kit are significantly different in terms of the installation. The install time is about 40% longer for the HO kit. Therefore figure about 40% more in labor cost. Ford Racing tech support stated about 10-12 hour mechanic...

    FRPP Supercharger?

    Let me clarify. Whipple was the SOLE importer for twin screw compressors for the AFTERMARKET and Eaton had exclusive rights to the OEM (i.e. Ford GT supplier). KB is in the aftermarket and did source the compressor from Whipple. But there were major supply shortages for the aftermarket as the...

    Rust Bubble on Hood

    No corrosion on my 2006 Mustang GT but that is here california. There was/is a little orange peel on the hood lip but nothing that cant be rubbed out with a high speed polisher. My dad has a 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo withi 4000 original miles on it and it has dirt specs in several places that...

    $1950 for the Ford Suspension package?

    That is very reasonable. The kit does not include an adjustable panhard bar. It does not need one IMO. It is the same exact kit used by Shelby on the Shelby GT, so it is an OEM part now, hence the warranty when a Ford dealer installs it. I would call the Ford Racing Tech Line and ask them...

    FRPP Supercharger?

    Whipple actually supplied KB for a while. Whipple was the sole US importer of twin screw compressors for the aftermarket and eaton was for the OEM's. The overseas production backlogged badly. KB and whipple have since parted ways. Whipple rebounded from the production delays by engineering...

    No you dont understand. The instructions call for the end user to monitor their fuel trims and adjust the MAF curve accordingly. Therefore the canned tune is not optimized and is not advertised to be optimized. How can you optimize a car if you never dynoed it with that MAF location on that...

    Need Help with Steeda CAI and Predator

    05 BLK-BLK --I am sorry about the rant, I just have seen people jump to hasty conclusions about companies including diablosport. For instance there was one mustang owner that had a programming issue with the predator that added the Steeda delete plates and c&l CAI and kept getting the CEL...

    Dealer tells me I have to use Techron?

    The sulfur content has nothing to do with it. All gas brands are made at the same refinery. The only difference is in the additive packages. Ask your tanker driver next time you see him/her and they will tell you that they all use the same regional refinery. If the driver is delivering a...

    diablosport

    First off, my bad experiences have nothing to do with "their new hardware" or whatever excuse that is. When you send a tuner back to someone to have updated and they blow smoke up your but for 3 months to do a simple update, that is sad. Now that SCT has left the large infrastructure and...

    Need Help with Steeda CAI and Predator

    Everybody likes to talk smack and jump down Diablo's throat. The fact that they are improving their product says alot and their customer support line is very helpful. You see threads about these TSB's from ford and unresolved issues with the s197 and nobody says "well im happy to hear...

    Unfortunatley, you are missing the issue. I am not silly enough to do that. When the dealer reflashes a vehicle with a new CALID that superchips or diablosport dont know about then you programmer will not respond when you go back into your car to install it. Of course diablosport allows...

    I would rule out a lean condition for a piston ring failure. pinging and valve damage could result but unlikely with a NA motor for that brief of a period. I bet your cousin is getting taken to the cleaners by the ford dealer. A ring issue is usually caused by pig rich mixture that washes...

    diablosport

    ok, but if the dealer doesnt tell you they reflashed it then you wont be looking for a sticker under the hood. Ask the 6 liter Powerstroke guys about ford's "reflashes" that fixed one problem and created 3 others that they were not even complaining about. my experience with SCT and...

    2006 GT Models

    It says on the fleet ford website that they do get TPMS. Is that just a misprint? https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/2006fleetshowroom/2006-mustang.asp "Integrated Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) comes standard on all 2006 Mustangs "

    Everybody calm down. The r23 update adds support for the 2005 V6 mustangs. By the way, at least you can update your predator unlike SCT or Superchips microtuners where you have to send it back when ford does a reflash that they never tell the customer that they did and the customer cant use...

    Valve Train "ticking"

    Since the new V8 has floating wrist pins I bet that is it. The GM gas trucks all have floating wrist pins for less friction and they make a serious ticking sound intermittantly. There is a GM TSB on the issue that says that it is normal. GM dealer replaced entire valve train anyway and...
