The HP game

Hemi Roar

Recorded earlier today. Winds up nicely but 2wd it steps out on the 1-2 shift.

This is just the canned tune still or is this the Hemifever tune?

Canned. The Diablo 93 tune.

 

[ThunderMug95]

Just ordered the Stage 1 Hemifever…

 

[Ludville1]

You should notice quite a difference. Sure was on my truck going from the canned Diablo 93 tune to the Hemifever 93 tune.

They responded 2hrs ago and I sent over my files.

That's good response time for sure.

Anybody know where the AGS derives its signal from? I can’t remember if its PCM or BCM. I cheated it years ago when I installed the vararam…just removed the slats except for the very top slat and very bottom slat so it wouldn't throw codes. I cant remember if it was something AlphaOBD could delete. I have Alpha, just haven’t used it in several years and not certain the Android phone I have it on will even power up. Oooff!

Is that not working? I used a screw kit and pulled the slats totally out but your method should be working fine. As far as I know Alfa can't touch them, and I haven't read about any tuner dealing with them either.

 

[ThunderMug95]

Screw kit? Do tell…
I assume theyre working, no codes, but theres only the 2 slats left in mine, just the bare minimum to make the brain think they are working…

If you don't have codes why are you wanting to change it up?

I used this kit:

The top slat is nearest to where the Vararam air deflector drops down in front of the radiator, I guess it could technically block some of the airflow.

"Upping your game" seems to have become a game.
There is a whole industry of after market upgrades.
I like my truck in stock configuration and I am going to run that way at least until it is out of warranty.

Fair point. Im out of warranty now, but when this journey started I was in-warranty and behaved accordingly

HF tune has arrived! Amazed it was that quick!

 

[ThunderMug95]

Just did some data logging for HF. Just like everyone says, canned tunes are better than stock, but not anywhere close to this Hemifever tune. I had to do a WOT 0-75 pull. HOLY CRAP. I’m still smiling and my face hurts.

I remember doing the data logging 0-75 WOT pull for Hemifever...took off like a rocket, the wife and I were shocked! Sean said "everything looks good...if you are happy with it, run it!" And I have been ever since. He also said to continue using that gas station...local Shell 93.

I have had good luck with adding a 4 inch exhaust, a tuner and an air intake on a 7.3 liter Ford.
The parts easily paid for themselves.

 

[ThunderMug95]

Finally got the logs to Sean. Ran 3 sets as prescribed. Its impressive. With the Moes 87mm TB, Vararam and the MF exhaust, its pretty smooth. I have 3 things to do in 2024.

1. Long tubes w/cats
2. V6 efan & Tstat
3. TruTrac for the rear.
Eh, going to need new tires as well…

 

[Noob2Trucks]

I was running close to your planned setup before the cam/stall

Vararam, stock tb, V6 fan/tstat, HP tuners and custom tune, Mopar LSD, 3.92 gear, arh 1 3/4 headers w/cats, qtp cutout.


Green was pre-cam, red after.

Thats awesome info, thank you. Anybody have a baseline fir a stick 5.7?
Also, the 6.4 manifold…does it need to be off of a truck? Mist Ive seen have the intake TB angled to the drivers side…
