U7146 01 GT (bolt ons messed up tune)

Post by Mellowyellow01 »

I had some basic add ons when I first installed the Diablo tune and it ran great, I just added a 75mm Thorttle Body and C&L intake plenum. and now it wants to bog down and even die at an idle, if I hit the gas and let off it will bog and die.
Also I have been reading here that using the tuner to change axle ratio and tire revs is not working? is that True? I have 373 gears now and need to change it will it work with my handheld?
My mods are as follows
BBK CAI
75mm TB
C&L intake plenum
JBA shorty headers
UPR X pipe (no Cats)
Underdrive pullies
3.73 gears
295 x 30 x 19" wheels (25.5 tire height (i think))

Also I just hit 40k and am going to replace the spark plugs, I want to install better than stock but there are so many choices out there I have not a clue on which plug would be best performance for my mods.
any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ok here is my update... I got the revs and gear changed on the tuner, and now speedo is perfect. but as far as this tune is concerned I am way off base with this performance tune. Scenario; When I am cruising (in any gear) if I let up the gas and coast in gear when I get back on the gas the car hesitates and bogs down before it will pick back up. I am getting way to much fuel it seems; which paramiters should I start messing with to get the car back in working order?

With the bolt ons that you have, your best and safest option would be a custom tune from one of our CMR Dealers.

Will any of your CMR dealers in florida be able to do It on a dyno? Not sure I trust paying to have a Tune sent Via email and still not know if everything is right.
I tried a search on your Dealer loacator but it came up with Disiel tuners and just the handheld dealers, not sure which ones are cable of doing my car.

When doing the search on our locator, select "CMR Ford Dealer" on the bottom and it will give you the 5 closest Ford tuners.

i have the same size tb and plenum plus a 85mm mass air flow housing with inlet pipe plus midlength headers with x pipe no cats and pullies and i never had that issue you speak of.. strange..

i had detonation issues but a little marvel mystery oil and some octain boost fixed that issue. i also didnt replace my plugs until i had 80 thousand on my car... plugs these days run forever it seems. platnum tip i hear are very nice.
