The flowmaster isnt helping either but I run a Single in Dual out muffler on my Whipple so if you like the sound I wouldnt bother. It sounds like the tune is a little weak and I would assume you have atleast 39lb injectors as those are pretty standard on a 9.5psi although some run 60s and I run 47lb. I would get the truck tuned by JDM with a SCT tuner and youll gain some power from a better tune.
So basically if I put some 4.11's what will that do for me?
I think it has 3.55's I believe but I'll have to double check. But man does it roast the tires in a 0-60!!! I Love it haha

Nice deal, eh?

You should have received the dyno graphs for the tuning - please post 'em up - interested in seeing yer A/F's.

I'd do a complete maintenance on the truck - fresh O2's, fresh fuel filter, tranny fluid exchange & filter, clean MAF & TB, fresh plugs, new boots, coolant, diff - the works. What may be minor for a N/A engine can be catastrophic for a boosted mill.

And I agree - get that rocket tuned properly.

Start a fund for a built tranny now - only a matter of time when you finally get that beast dialed in

Since its an FX4 it should have 3.73 gears already. I don't think I would bother with 4.10's if you have 3.73's, thats a good chunk of change when you have to do 2 axles.

Um, no. Mine has 3.55's ....

OP - what' the axle code on the door sticker?

19 – 3.55 Non-LS
18 – 3.08 Non-LS
H9 – 3.55 LS
B6 – 3.73 LS

yup i got the dyno sheet right beside me ill post up a pic in a few mins for everyone. i just checked all the fluids but id say the rear diff probably needs changed even though its a lifetime oil so to say.. i got some plugs on the way and yes i agree this thing is a beast as it is (i just upgraded from an 08 fx4 completely stock) the tranny in it has a shift kit of some sort it shifts really firm when on the pedal.

Just seems low. 4.10s will help with the weight of the tires/rims. I think the tune is weak and leaving power on the table. Jdm isn't near me either but you can get an email tune from them.

so they would email me this tune then i take it to a shop and run it on a dyno to get it up to where it should be? now that i see other peoples numbers it does seem very low... hmm...

JDM website.
http://www.teamjdm.com/

Its best to just call them and they will walk you through it. Essentially what will happen is you give them all of the info on your truck, they will then write a tune and email it to you. You will go out and datalog a wide open run in 3rd gear and email that log to JDM for final review/tweaks then your good to go! It is not necessary to put the truck on a dyno again unless you would like to see the new numbers you are putting down.

So if I go buy a sct I'll have to get rid of the diablo and edge? Is it a monitor like the edge? What makes it more capable of more power? Thanks

Ok I see now. It allows you to upload customs tunes to your truck instead of preloaded ones. But would I have to get sct to do the programming?

You can keep edge as a monitor but you'll buy a sct3 from jdm and they will tune it and like it was said you then data log for accuracy. Sct is the best flash tool for ford.
