Really helped all around. I was moving that material about 10 miles, across a lot of paved surface types. Some curves, railroad crossings, 4 way stops, 35 mph to 65 mph roads. Tamed the bounciness on uneven surfaces, and made the truck feel much more planted in those different situations.
I don't keep weight in the bed, but when I was previously using it for work, ~800 lbs worked wonders. 2022 Lariat, 157" WB, max tow, payload rating is between 1800-1900 lbs.
Edit: loads in the 300 lb range weren't noticeable, and 1200 lbs made the front end feel light.
Did you notice any impact to mileage? CVF touts "increases mileage", but doesn't quantify. Interested in seeing what the increased flow does in addition to some more power.
For the slots in the panel you designed, are they spaced at what worked for your holster, or are they some "standard" spacing?
Haha, poor choice of words on my part, but "holster" and "unholster" just didn't seem right either. But no issues getting it in or out of the holster when the seat is...
Very nice. Did you just remove the paddle from the back of the holster and mount it directly to your 3D printed panel?
Also: what's it like to draw from the holster? How much interference does the front of the seat cause?
Yeah, I remember that debacle, and the changing of the dyno graph. I really wish they would post the full graph, since we don't know what torque or HP look like below 2500 rpms. Sure, it's nice to see changes in peak gains, but I'm more interested in what the torque curve looks like in the range...
Thanks for posting this! For months I've been waiting for some real world thoughts on this tune. Glad to hear that you enjoy (and notice) an improvement. I was a little worried given that the official Ford documentation showed a very truncated dyno chart.
Very nice!
You able to post a video or sound clip so we can hear how the exhaust sounds on cold start, idle, and some revs?
Also, how's the drone at different speeds?
My average is ~17.5-18 mpg. No level, stock tires still (just hit 44k miles today). My daily commute is about 8-10 miles each way, which I'm sure is contributing to my low mileage. A few times a year, we take a 1000 mile round trip over the weekend or for holidays.
At the beginning of the...
I have one of these Amazon Samdew brand bags that fits under the single seat on the passenger side.
It does NOT fit inside the OEM storage.
It's great for what it is, but it would fit under the seat much better if I did not have the OEM under seat storage.
I've had these on my wish list for quite some time! The only modification I've made since purchasing is the Tremor boards I was able to score on eBay. Would love to make my truck a little more capable off road, And look a little better when I park next to the boss:
