Cant believe I waited this long to get EFI . Pretty cool to say the least . Im still as green as it gets , but loading tunes and the how it all works is coming to me some . Had to make a few calls to get them loaded and now I get how that works . When I said I was potty trained ... I lied , I was only to pull-ups . :baby:

Id like to get a bunch of high hp tunes for the kodiak . And find the right one for daily race driving . ;)

Tested a pretty macho tune just now . Was incredible shifting and some serious power . Good thing for head studs . :cool2: That was some serious cylinder pressure for sure . :D EGT were about 650-700 on frwy cruising . Never seen that before . That was impressive . Im usually at 850-900 minimum on my old race tune cruising on frwy at 70 . This tune had more HP than my ppe10 . Felt very similar to the tune i use to run back when the kodiak ran 9.50 efi but with a little more even . It might be just a hair to much for the weight . A decent rattle down low stomping it with no brakes from a stop or slow roll . But other than that Wow !! A little power brake or roll on it and hold on to your hat . Pulls like a frieght train . A good full on race tune , but maybe not as friendly on the street for quick throttle jabs down low .

The shifting is really clean as hell on these hot tunes . Im impressed with that alot . Funny my ppe10 wasnt to happy at all lately shifting and kept having really bad habit form . To load a different hot tune and have beautiful shifting is nice . Different on both , but really nice ,and with no relearn on either. The first one was not enough power for me for hot tune but shifted like clock work and really smooth , almost didnt even feel it . I was impressed . Was a little more conservative .The second was huge power with a tad less street happy characteristics with good clean shifts . clicked them off good .

Now to ck out some tow tunes .

Im out of race tunes . :D need more to ck out . :hug:

Damn ..... this isnt as exiting cking tow tunes .

One important thing on tunes for the kodiak is that the 75mph speed governor is killed . I didnt ck first tune , but second was no governor . :)

I wish there was a way to erase the gov file out of ECM completely .

Thanks Brother . Quick ? for you .

Have you or do you here alot of rattling at 2500 when your pilot injection shuts off . Mine rattles like a machine gun . Drives me crazy . 2400-2600 rpm . Been told that you can leave the pilot injection on or something like that and make that noise go away . Done it since new , but it sure seems louder now than I remember . Alot louder in the morning too .

Mine does the same when the pilot injection turns off.....I don't think our puny computers can have pilot injection on above a certain RPM.

Watch the EGTs on the Dyno tune I sent ya.....I set the boost lower to keep the heads on the block. Otherwise, it would blow right past 40Lbs in just a few seconds.

Sounds like you are having fun Johnny-good to hear.

Good times brother . I like . Just need more tunes to play with . Im not doing any tuning , just trying lots of different tunes . I want to find a good hot tune that is really close and then fine tune that one .

I'll see if I can find one with the LB7 idle...it sounds pretty nice when you run around town. Its just the vanes wide open, so its pretty good for mileage too. Besides, you really don't need all that boost when you are just goofing around.

Other than a tow tune for the big trailer , I only know race tunes . Im kinda stuck on them . A little signal to signal is pretty common for me around here . I like the big suprised look on the little cars and trucks faces at the next signal . WTF !!

For me running and cking out tunes and how they drive and then looking at the differences in them tells me a little about what makes what and what #'s are causing certain effects . I know this is only the beginning , but thats what I have been doing . Im having a hard time not running this race tune with low egt's . Im still on it just babying it around . I really like the low egts . I keep having to check and make sure the truck is even running the egt's are so low . :D

Send me anything , Id like some of my green brothers to get involved .

I guess I should send them a stock file from my truck .
