You will see a massive gain from a tune on a turbo car (40-50hp) but on a regular V8 there is only a fraction of that to be had. DH is pretty maxed out from the factory on 93
Catch can, air filters, h pipe don't need to be tuned for since they really don't do anything. Headers really don't need a tune either.
you'll pick up a tiny bit of power with a tune on 93 but the benefit is in the automatic trans tuning and e85 tune if you have that in your area
Start car. Put seat belt on. Plug SCT device in. Turn off traction control. Turn off TPMS warning. Back out of garage. Close garage door. Back out of driveway. Drive away normally. Let water temp hit 180 before giving it the beans (oil temp trails water temp but that's good enough)
Ford saying "do not prime the engine by cranking it" doesn't mean anything I guess.
It doesn't flow as much as the engine starting up. Too low of an rpm from the starter alone.
Drawbacks:
1. you could blow it up
2. the car will be stupid fast (yes that can be a drawback)
3. depending on your tires you may have serious traction issues below highway speeds. Like spin out and fly off the road.
4. gets expensive fast
except Chinese stuff sucks most of the time
Even your "craftsman" tools
"China" makes stuff as good as you're willing to pay for but if you want really quality you go to Taiwan
Vietnam and India are making the bottom level shit now
Look how long it takes to prime this engine using a drill
Careful observers will notice the engine is not turning over, they are just turning the oil pump
So are we supposed to do this every time we start the car?
Or just after a certain number of days? And what is that number?
And do we still have to do it if we use Ceratec or Amsoil?
Run the engine "dry", with the starter, at 2-300rpm for 15 seconds (how long are "the primers" turning the key, and how many times do they do it?)
or just turn the key and start the car, run the engine "dry" for 1 second at 200-300 (starting speed) and then for the one second until you see oil...
