MS109, $24.40 per gallon - does anybody do that?

So he remarks about 9:23 - 9:24 that he changed cam timing. I was wondering about whether tuners do that.

Post #44 is still there, just as it was.

WOW, I cannot believe somebody knew exactly what I was wondering about! :like:

In all seriousness, in this age of social media, not many folks are going to buy from a tuner when the reviews are all like, "Hey, be aware, I downloaded the tune from MadMan Tuning Solutions, and now my crankshaft is in five pieces all over the road!" Forum user #2 - "Me, too! Except mine is...

There have been a lot of developments in other things, too, like cylinder head design. Our stock 4 valve 5.0 heads flow far more than a dedicated racing head for a 302 back in the 60s. The same goes for stock LS heads today v. the old muscle car cylinder heads.

Which would never be that good to drive to the grocery store. Magneride does both. Which is the point you were making, I think::

Thanks for sharing the timing, though. 27 degrees It shows how much more efficient modern engines are. My old Pontiac, back when Pontiacs were a separate engine family, required 34 degrees to run at its best.

And then promptly dial it right back out when you give it more than half throttle . . .

I wonder how much timing can really be advanced over what was set by the factory? The biggest gain I have seen yet (that I find somewhat credible) is approximately 50 horsepower on E85, which is significant. I wonder how many degrees of timing were added to get that number, and I wonder...

Right, because the ecu is pulling timing in certain conditions, but with E30, it does not have to. In comparison, then, the ECU is advancing timing during those conditions when E30 is used, when it would not if 93 octane were being used. I think you are both saying the same thing but still...

That sun in Dubai has to be harsh on cars.

More: These driving benefits are not just road racing specific. Switch the drive mode to “drag” and the system changes to a unique drag mode tuning. “For Road courses, lateral acceleration, body roll and managing those aspects are what the system focuses on. In Drag, hard acceleration, straight...

Ford defines MagneRide as a “semi-active suspension system [where] each corner’s damper force is controlled independently by an electronic control module.” Multiple factors including the road surface, the driver’s setting, driving style, etc. are a few of the elements in determining the...

It's great. It can set my suspension kind of cushy in normal mode and stiff in track mode. It also adapts to road conditions in real time, controlled electronically. Magneride is a neat invention, and they have been improving it for two decades now.

Why does it not include Dark Horse with handling package?

"MagneRide adaptive dampers with bespoke Dark Horse tuning are standard, as are bigger 33.3-mm front and 24-mm rear sway bars, though the Handling Package gets a solid rear bar for added rigidity. The spring rate is increased as well: the front spring rate is now 34 N/mm up front and 115 in the...

Ah, which will be on island time.
