FordScrew24's,
The first thing that you should have done was to actually READ and absorb the documentation we sent you, as it seems apparent from post after post after post from you asking things that we clearly cover in those docs that you haven't. If you had read the docs, you wouldn't be here asking what you have to datalog, for example, and that is something that nobody else can tell you - only *we* can, as we are the ones who tuned your truck.
Please understand I'm not trying to sound mean, truly I'm not - I'm really just trying to make a point, and that is that it appears that you have not read your documentation, as you aren't following it. For example, yo have not done *any* of the things we tell you in the docs we send with your tuning, even though we do give you other methods you can use with no tools or instrumentation right there in our docs to determine your actual performance results, you haven't even tried any of that.
As is also pointed out in our docs, while some trucks will roast the tires, others will not - and it DOES in fact depend on a number of things, like your tire compound as you were quite correctly told by Crystal, by the way - you just don't want to hear it. That is also affected by more obvious things like your gear ratio, the configuration of your vehicle, it's tire size, wheel size & weight, 2WD, 4WD, SuperCrew, etc., and so many other things - it all gets down to your actual power to weight ratio, and these trucks have well over 3500 lb of weight difference between the various configurations just in bone-stock trim from the factory. In short, you cannot expect a tune and an intake to turn your truck into a tire-shredding monster - while there are some trucks that will get that kind of response, that not a characteristic of a 3.5 ton 2007 Lincoln Mark LT.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to give you a hard time, I'm just trying to get you to see the light a bit, and realize where you are going wrong - so now let's see if we can try to help you, OK?
If you will please be willing to give us a call and tell my staff that I asked you to call for me personally - just ask to speak to Mike Troyer, tell them that I asked you to call me personally in a post here on F-150 Online, and if I am not on another line or on the dyno I will be happy to take your call personally and work with you on this, OK? If I am tied up at the moment, I will call you back and be happy to go over everything with you, and we'll see just what's up, and see if you actually have a tuning problem, and if so, we will of course take care of it for you. I will be more than happy to spend time with you going over everything, answer any questions you have, and see just what is really going on, and that way we can determine if you actually have a problem, or if this is simply a problem with expectations, etc., and I'm happy to help you with that, OK?
We really do want you to be happy - so thanks for your post, & I look forward to speaking with you, my friend.
