    new Thermal 3 inch vs old Thermal 3 inch

    I can speak for 2.5. On a flat surface it is bone stock. With an incline it is marginally louder.

    What am I hearing?

    Well, it seems right now it's experiment and discovery time. Every file I've tried exhibits the same audible knock, regardless of which one I use. Adam is trying different scenarios. Even at very light throttle — I mean consistent-speed cruising — provided the incline is steep enough, it will...

    What am I hearing?

    I’m back on the factory tune. Zero audible knock. For those who have had audible knock in your previous cars, careful with that. I put a rod through my Kenne Bell Mustang pushing it “just a bit more”.

    What am I hearing?

    Factory file uploaded. Rev04 underway Rev04 uploaded. Knock audible. Six gear most prevalent.

    What am I hearing?

    The last three logs I sent after I received REV2 had one the actions you asked for and I added one with the low rpm/ high load scenario. Can you work from that and the attachments I made here for the video? https://photos.app.goo.gl/SUqp8ZcLBwVsbDyX7...

    What am I hearing?

    Yep! That is exactly the sound.

    What am I hearing?

    Yep! See if you are able to reproduce it in normal mode and while staying in gear moderately accelerate and listen. Once it reaches over 4k or so it goes away, or I can't hear it over the other noises at that point. Did you notice this sound with your factory file prior?

    What am I hearing?

    "Knock is more of a lose change in a pipe sound." Exactly the sound. It does not translate very well on video. I loaded the baseline, this sound immediately appeared. I ran a log and uninstalled waiting for the revision. The factory tune was ran while waiting for the revision. Rev1 comes...

    What am I hearing?

    Agree. I noticed when I listened to it through my audio in the Explorer is was much easier to hear. Through my laptop much harder. Cellphone can be heard faintly. It's an irregular rattle in the background.

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    H&R sitting in garage waiting for install over here.

    What am I hearing?

    Listen for the very light ting ting ting sound. It is very hard to capture but plain as day in person. Occurs under load and low rpm. I notice it most under 4k. Logs are clean, can't figure it out. Sound not present with factory file. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SUqp8ZcLBwVsbDyX7...

    Tune adaptation

    I have seen videos of the Ford Performance tune on Ranger Raptors showing very little gains just after the tune gets uploaded but then after a period of time being driven it shows more power later. They claim adaptation improves results later. Is this the case with all tunes (ZFG or Goose) for...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    To update, logs are not showing an issue with knock. Whatever I am hearing must be something else otherwise we would see it in the logs. I want to clarify the source of my observations are not confirmed and should not be assumed a result of the tune.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    It is all about time on throttle. If most do short blips I'd think factory plugs are decent especially with a moderate daily tune. I installed colder plugs as insurance against knock in the unlikely event I am on throttle for a period of time. This also allowed me to tighten the gap to...

    I'm only pulling at times 3 degrees according to Adam which is very little so lets hope all is well.

    Ok, same here. I still have what I can only describe as knock but Adam says nothing shows up in the logs. Weird, as soon as I install the factory tune it is gone. Baseline was pretty bad, Rev1 less and Rev2 even less but still present. This is low rpm / high load situation. I guess I'll...

    Rear Sway Bar Feel

    I can see many might not notice a difference but for those who are in tune with their vehicle will notice immediately. I ran mine on the middle setting and am happy with it. Less roll and the front axle has more grip. Exactly what a RSB does.
