Perhaps I am off, but on pump gas I am not seeing that much of a disparity.
So what’s the gain on E30 with the FP ProCal tune?

Of course there is no gain for E30. What are you getting at?
Exactly, then the difference between the GooseTuned tune and the FP ProCal tune is 147whp vs 50whp

Intercooler only. It'd make it without an intercooler to, but only once until the intercooler gets head saturated.
Wouldn't the reduced IAT have a significant impact? I understand the heat soak aspect, but a custom tune incorporating a much higher efficiency intercooler would impact the end result of the tune I would think due to cooler charge temps, no?

You realize how asinine that argument is? Of course using non-pump gas will make more power than standard 93/91. If you want to run alt fuel, you don't have another option than custom tuning.

I think the part a lot of people are hung up on is that there are actually a lot of people out there willing to pay to play. Some people won't even consider the Ford tune. Others want to go all out, and right now, this right here is the way. Maybe it's the general type of people that buy mid-sized trucks and what they typically use them for.

Opinions vary, not everyone will agree. But at least be appreciative for people like Winfield who are pioneers at the forefront working to give customers some options on such a great platform with so much more potential that can only be unlocked through his and other like minded individual's efforts.
Hitting the nail on the head!!! very well stated.

Yes, but typically that isn’t an issue on the dyno until after the first or second pull.

Anything below 130* won’t impact power. The issue with the stock intercooler is once it goes above 130-140 it has a hard time coming down. Even in 70-80* temps

Thanks for answering my questions! Good to see the future of Ranger Raptor tuning showing some great results!

You've tuned a bunch of broncos and now a couple RRaptors. Out of those you've done that had intercooler upgrades, which ones did the best avoiding heat soak and cool down times?

I've tune the Stock unit, COBB unit, whipple intercooler, and cvf intercooler.

I've also tuned bigger turbo trucks now.

The whipple intercooler and COBB intercooler are very close in comparison. The cvf actually does well too!

What I will say is the stock location intercoolers do leave some cooler air to be desired. All of the units will start to increase in temp as the pull continues.

Typically an upper mount intercooler doesn't increase in temp. It decreases at the start of the pull and stay low. These stock locations will decrease and then raise similar to the stock intercooler, just at a much slower rate.


TLDR: Looking forward to an upper mount solution. But upgraded stock locations are still better than stock

Sorry, what's an upper mount? Like a Subaru's mounted under the hood?

Edit: I got so confused about upper mount I forgot to say thank you and ask if you'd seen the Wagner one with the raptor on the end tank, and what you thought of it?

No worries man!! Anytime!!

Wagner looks nice! I haven't tested that myself. I may give that one a shot. I'm a dealer for them

That'd be epic. Real world, or at least dyno world, results would be good to see. Think you might have air temp logs for each one you've already tuned handy? I like data, and this could lead us the create a comparison chart between them. Might help some of us decide which IC to get.
