I have had the truck for a year now and only ran the stock tune for the first two weeks. So I kinda forgot just how crappy it is. I emailed Sean because I wanted 2-4 WOT to shift at 6000 and it is shifting at 5700. He told me it was shifting at 6000 when he sent me the tune and that I should go back to stock and then reload his tune without any adjustments. I will admit to having made many, many adjustments over the months. So while going back to stock I did a quick data log.

First off I had planned on running the stock tune for a day or two to note the differences. I just couldnt do it. The stock tune sucks!!. I have gotten used to doing test runs from a 10 mph roll so the tires dont go up in smoke with the HF tune. Well no need with the stock tune I could barely get a squeel from a dead stop. The shifts were way to early and the trans shifted like old people f*%k (SLOW and Sloppy). I wanted the data log to back up my driving impressions and here is what I found.

A/F Ratio: Stock 9.25 - 14.50 vs HF 12.6 - 14.7
WOT shift points & rpm after shift: Stock 5600 & 3600 vs HF 6000 & 4100
1 Cyl Timing: Stock -13 to 39 vs HF -4 to 39
STKR: Stock 0-5 for most of wot vs HF 0-2 for <2 seconds

I knew it was bad but didnt think it was that bad. There are probably more differences that I dont know about. I mostly watch AF, KR, timing and shift points. Needless to say I only lasted about 5 minutes before reloading the HF tune. I guess its easy to get used to the mods but this little experiment has brought me back to reality. Here are the data logs.

Good stuff bro! Great comparison. If we ever stop appreciating our HF tunes, just return to stock for a day. You'll fall in love with HF all over again! :)
