HOLY CRAP GUYS!

I just had my entire computer reflashed by Mark at Blue Oval Performance...and what a huge difference!!! This thing pulls like crazy now!

Im going to the track tomorrow to see how it works for me!!!

What did he change for you? Did he use some type of programmer or are you talking about a chip?

 

No, not a chip.

I mailed my computer to him and he reflashed the stock computer with new expanded performance tables. There is no programming or chip use on my end. I just sent him the entire PCM, he flashed it, and sent it back.

The nice thing is...I can swap mods without a reburn...because the PCM will compensate for the change because of its wide band of performance data, where a chip is a fixed set of files. As far as I know Im the first to have this done. According to Mark, the PCM should maintain an 11.8 to 12:1 A/F ratio even if I swap pullies and such.

Hmmm interesting....I knew the stock PCM was pretty flexible but did not know you could increase that flexibility by so much. Can other variables such as line pressure, torque reduction, etc. be modified? Timing and fuel?

 

sound really kew may have this done how much did it cost ????

 

Well, as far as I know...since it is the stock PCM...a reflash expands the ENTIRE performance table beyond its stock setting...any one parameter can be directly changed. By doing that it can compensate for weather, mods, and all that. I also found out that most mods currently being used by the Lightning community doesnt require any custom programming...but it is available for those hardcore L guys...

 

Mark charged me $250 for the reflash without any custom files. I guess youd have to call him for those.

 

Does Blue Oval Performance have a website? And what about True Blue (?) Performance? If so what are they?

Thanks,

What's the price and the turn around time???

I visited the site, but didn't see anything on either one.


Later...

yeah it isnt on the website yet...

 

I talked to Mark(Blue Oval Performance) today and this non-chipped PCM sounds very interesting. Very nice and knowledgeable Lightning guy too ! He is going to be doing some before-and-after dynoing soon on his 01 L.

i met mark last weekend in fla,seemed like a real
nice and knowledgeable guy wish i had more time to
chat ,but i was on my way outta town.this sounds
very interesting

 

Hey Dan,

We have already been doing it with the 4.6 mustangs..Seeing 360-370rwhp on bone stock mustangs with a charger and reflash.

We will have the ability to reflash trucks in about a month or so.
It really is the way to go.No chips to fool with and the driveabilty in these cars is amazing.
Cool thing we have seen is they add intakes,headers,smaller pulleys,exhaust..etc and we haven't had to reflash.

I'll keep you posted.Hopefully we will be ready shortly.

Jeff.

 

Man,hes always doing crazy stuff with his truck.He knows his stuff though.No smoke and mirrors just honest help.Hes really a great guy.Hes has saved me from wasting a lot of money on bull.I already sent him my computer.I cant wait to get it back in my truck!
