for this build the truck is using 1300cc injectors as truck will be on e85, well be installing a magnafuel 750 pump

the turbo is precisions billet 8284

 

Does HPT not support the 04 lightning truck??? I see it says 04-up F150. I have never dug into the Fords other than looking at some different software for the diesel stuff.

How do you like the SCT software in comparison to the HPT???

 

havent looked into what HP supports but 04+ wont work for a lightning as they are 99-04 as in classic

ya know that switchover yr ****

SCT is **** compared to HPT but its better then that garbage Diablo ive used for mopars

even how they tell you to tune fords doesnt make one bit of sense, so tossed their theories out the window and tuned it like a GM...made huge difference

one thing about fords is they dont use knock sensors, which if you tune off plugs youre fine

 

Good to know.

Have you ever looked into that Delta Force tuning software for Fords?

 

seen it and its a pile of ****...most of the softwares are hacks of each other

SCT is top, then you have the hack version of that is Diablo, then you have hack of that delta force


even the SCT is a pain the *** to load a tune onto vehicle or log

 

Ha, Ha!

Nice comparison

 

sucks as SCT is best there is and at that its sub-par for what needs to be used. Fords could go further IMHO if they had better software but youll hear from some that will say its a good program, i disagree but it does get the job done

 

Very cool build. Where do you get all those exhaust bends from?

 

this truck used 99% aluminum which is vibrant tubing and from summit
i typically use J bends i get from a supplier in PA for 409SS
the first part of the DP is from aluminized steel which was bought from summit
