I’ll let Ray reply to timing left on table but I can reply to how long it takes to write a tune, never been 1 minute for me. More like 15 to 40 minutes and a feeling like I hope my car won’t brick:
With the RTD4 when writing from one custom tune to another it’s less than a minute now with the S650. If you do a full write of you are changing the OS, it’s about 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Yeah, never experienced that and I’ve had 3 different tunes between my Mach 1 and the DH.
The fast write is for the new fords and using the RTD4 with TDN or MPVI3 with laptop. As I said the first write of your custom tune over the stock tune should be a tad over 3 minutes. Any subsequent write between another same OS custom tune is like 30 seconds now.
Took me like 20 minutes or more with RTD4 and TDN app.
lol clearly. But in all fairness you can’t be reasoned with at any level. You seem to know better no matter what anyone tells you. You were dead set on this flex tune and dammit you got it lol. Forget the 200+ s650s I’ve tuned, you know better.
Thanks, I considered everything you have said over last few months and made an educated decision.
I would say consistent and noticeable just like it was in my Mach 1. Significant is subjective .
Is this a realistic probability within the near future?
Do you have some real dyno numbers for comparison for the difference on the same fuel (E85, E70, whatever) of adding that two or three degrees of spark advance?
Is it difficult to get rid of the speed limiter?
Whew! That makes me feel better. The one in that video was cutting out at 155 mph (and I saw a YouTuber saying his cut out at an indicated 158 on the dash). I can see that affecting a track day on some of the tracks with longer straights once the horsepower is bumped up. For example, Michelin Road Atlanta has a full throttle area that looks like about 4000 feet, from turn 7 until you have to hit the brakes to make turn 10A. While it is slightly uphill from 7 to 9, it is steeply downhill after that, which means lots of speed and then testing your brakes to make that sharp, almost 90 degree left turn at 10A. This track map is misleading, too. The track is very wide from 8 to 9 and then downhill to 10A, where is suddenly narrows in addition to making a sharp left hand turn. I am not a good enough driver to look at my speedometer while turning left on 10A, as I was working on braking later and later and making the turn and not striking slower cars in front of me, but I would guess most cars are in the 40s or 50s mph through 10A (coming from triple digit speeds downhill even in low horsepower cars).
Fastest I’ve hit is 148 when I was there in November and it was pretty cold, so the car was making more power. Normally I hit 143-144 pretty consistently before braking down to around 45 for 10a. Here’s a video from July with JTI and the data from a session in November. It was brutally hot at the July event.
