Ford lightning canned tune

Post by across281 »

I am looking at buying a predator for my 02 lightning (intake, exhaust, 2#). I am curious about the canned tunes that come on the DSP. I have heard the 91 octane tune is meant more for a 4# pulley because of the duty cycle.. I am currently gettin 16hwy and I would actually like to increase that but I feel it will not help if more fuel is being dumped into the system. So I guess I was hoping someone could tell me about the tunes, if there was one that would increase mpg with stock boost or with the 2lb-er. Before Someone says well why didnt you buy a prius I have a new job that requires me to make a 600m drive 4x a year.

Couple things.

We don't just randomly dump fuel into the engine. It's a MAF so it's based on airflow entering the engine so if there is less, there will be less fuel. Nothing generic. You may be a degree or two low on timing but that can be adjusted with the tool so there's no worries there.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

So say I flashed the 91 oct tune on stock boost will I see in increase in gas mileage? I have a 2# pulley also but I am just wondering if I will get any benefit with a tune on the stock size ring on quick change kit
