I have a SCT Xcal2 tuner that was in my diesel but I returned it back to stock before I got rid of the truck and got the F-150. Will the SCT tuner that worked in my diesel also work in my gas. I really liked the power I got from the SCT in my diesel less me breaking Suncoast Transmissions (which is ALL my fault) but I am wondering if it will be at the same level of performance as my diesel. I know it won't be powerwise but will it be just as noticeable SOTP like it was in the diesel?

 

No.. Diesels are getting between 45 and 110 hp out of a tune. The best I have everheard a tune do on a n/a gas motor was 45hp. I doubt that the SCT for diesel is the same part number for gas. SCT maybe able to recalibrate it, but might be easier to sell what you have and buy a new tuner.

No, not the same. Call up Troyer Performance, theyll retune it for you for I think around $65 specially for your new truck.

 

I should have worded my question more better. My bad. I know the custom programs I have won't work at all in the F-150. Heck if they did boy I'd be in a real world of hurt with all my drivetrain. Just wanted to make sure that the programmer itself would be able to work with my truck. I know it will cost me something to get programs for my truck just hopefully I won't go thru the same problems as I did with my 6.0L. I'll check Troyer out.

 

My SCT have a bunch of canned tunes including F-150, and even mustangs!

 

Hi Silver Series,

Yes, if you have the XCalibrator 2 (Part # 9400), we can provide a new set of custom tunes that will allow it to work with your F-150 - or virtually any other computer-controlled 1996 & newer FoMoCo vehicle, for that matter, no problem!

Now for those who have the "canned" SCT unit, which is the 9415, they can be converted to the 9400 so that they can accept our custom tuning and get much better power & performance gains - so either way, whatever SCT unit you can we can reprogram to work with the F-150, basically - just give us a call at our number listed below & we'll be happy to help (if you haven't already called us, that is. )

 

I had the 9400 cause I had nothing but custom files. Course between me and the Suncoast trans I had I sorta of distroyed the Suncoast. Bad thing was it only had 2000 miles on it. If anyone one has a TEC6 stock program for the 6.0L and wants some sweet files I'll more than gladly send them to you.
Well I have sold the SCT to um keep me out of trouble for now. But I am looking for some mud grips for my stock rims. Do need help finding 255/70/R17 mud grips. I swear nobody makes them.

 

Well, one of the problems is that TEC6 is generally an EPB-recall file, and updated reflash from the dealership, to which a lot of power can be added - more than the tranny can take. Meaning that truck has the exhaust back pressure recall - and they can make more power at a lower EGT than the non-EPB recall trucks.

We just did the R&D on all of that with one of the owners of SCT here at our shop and came up with all new files for those trucks on August 11th. We added 150 RWHP & 240 RWTQ at just 1100 degrees EGT - we could have added a lot more, but we didn't want to roll over the one-way in the torque converter, which rolls over at about 900 lb/ft. of torque - and those files you have will hit that number, so all it takes in many cases are just a coupla-few hard launches to kill the one way in the TQ. So you do have to be careful with that - basically, if you want to run that powerful a tune on those 6.0 PSD's with an automatic, count on putting a much stouter torque converter in them, and it's not a bad idea to do a race-built tranny.

In short, I would not be too hot to just put those files on a truck unless the owner is warned that this can happen, as if you have that power, sooner or later you'll use it, and will kill the tranny, usually the TQ first. That kind of power puts a 7500 lb SuperDuty in the low 13's in the 1/4 mile with no other mods at all - pretty darned stout.

 

I had billet internals in the Suncoast trans and had put a Suncoast Torque Convertor in also. I still don't know what happened. All together I had about 2,000 miles on the tranny before we added the hot files to it. This was my idea to make sure it was good and broke in. About 1,000 miles later and trans was slipping really good. Don't know what happened and don't want to know what happened but I did learn that was my first and last auto trans. with a diesel. But yes the custom race files make some very nasty power from down low. On mine it was nasty till about 2,000 rpm's then it was like it went really nuts cause it would sit you back in the seat pretty hard and scream.

 

Who did the tunes for you? I'll try them out.
Are they that bad a**?
Do you know if all TEC6's are the same?

Troyer Performance--what do you charge for custom files and what do you recommend for a torque converter?

 

HI Jello,

We do not discuss pricing here on the boards or in email - for that info you will need to please give us a quick call.

With regard to the torque converter, that is a matter of how the vehicle is being used, as well as it's specific configuration, as all of that affects in a large way just how a torque converter should be set up - which in turn, dictates whose units we prefer.

So these aren't just one set pat answer, in other words, we go into more depth than that - this is why we suggest giving us a call so we can go over this in proper detail with you, to make sure you get the right parts for what you're going to be doing & actually need.

I hope that brief info helps, & please do feel free to give us a quick call at our number listed below - thanks for your post!

 

I'd be interested to know your dyno? number totals and what kind of dyno you used to achieve these. It would help in my numbers comparison to what I'm running. Great EGT's BTW.
