Author Message   Ducxl Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 02:01 pm:        Yep..plenty. See the ride posted above and come out Sunday.   Scotty_j Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 02:21 pm:        Sure we're meeting in Oxford Sunday, but most of the rides are around CT, RI and south-central MA. Any chance you work in the Framingham area? I keep seeing what looks like an S3T (don't know my tubers too good) during my commute.   Tattoo72 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 02:25 pm:        Hey Adrift I work at Tasca Ford in Cranston. I ride my bike to work a lot so maybe we could hook up someday for a ride. I'll be going on the ride sunday. It will be my first time meeting all the guys in here. I wicked psyched.

The bottom seems the same but she pulls more over 4500rpm. I notice the popping is not as loud as it was.   Ustorque Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 04:30 pm:        didn't get through all the rears like I wanted. eeeewwww!! sorry couldn't resist hey if you guys come north on sunday give me a ring(party for the girls...ribs, wings, beer, cake)   Rmullett01 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 04:38 pm:        New to the forum as of today. I am interested in the ride this Sunday. I have another commitment in the afternoon. How long are your rides?   03worc9r Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 04:53 pm:        haha, so many "rears" to choose from!!   Scotty_j Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 08:38 pm:        Mullet- We generally roll 'til around 3, but you can break off whenever you want (if you know where you are-- I never know). Just finished up with Tattoo's bike. Standard 'opti' first impression: Meh. It pops like a b@st@rd. Worse than with the Race ECM. Thanks for the Dogfish! If you want to try & work that pop out, I ought to be around tomorrow evening. Bring your laptop; hopefully you'll be able to maintain a connection and iron it out.   Adrift1371 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 08:39 pm:        s3t1200cc cranston area , next to tasca.......... 'tattoo ' anytime   Chasespeed Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 08:40 pm:        Attleborro huh? A very close friend of mine just moved up there from Florida... If Attleborro is as small as I remember, you wont be able to miss him, either in a Black Camaro SS with FL tags, or he a a Triumph, and a Buell with a full fairing... ANYWAY... have fun on the ride.... I still have a few months before I get home... Chase   Tattoo72 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:04 pm:        Thanks a ton Scotty. I had a great time talk'n buell. I can honestly say that I'm not super impressed with opti's race map. It feels a bit quicker and seems to rev up a bit faster. I just don't seem to see what all the 'opti' hype is about. Is he paying these people to hype his stuff. I've driven Mustangs at work that had a basic SCT tune. It was like a night and day difference in the car. You could absolutely feel a big power increase. I put a Bully Dog in a PowerStroke diesel last week. HOLY CRAP, woke that diesel up big time. There's nothing like being able to totally smoke a set of tires on a big ass truck just by stomping on the gas from a dead stop! I'm going to see what I can do tomorrow with trying to get the bad decel pop out of it. If I can't i'll definitely take you up on your offer.   Scotty_j Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:06 pm:        Unleaded aint diesel. Cue Eric's diesel horsepower love-in...   Chasespeed Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:18 pm:        I put a Bully Dog in a PowerStroke diesel last week. HOLY CRAP If you like the B/D... you should give mine a whirl with custom tunes, no OTS stuff here... in 2wd, it'll roast the rear tires into OD.... BUT, from what I hear, I wont be able to afford to DRIVE my truck, let alone beat on it... Chase   Scotty_j Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:21 pm:        Edit to my previous post: Die$$$$el.   Tattoo72 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:23 pm:        There is just something about the torque of a diesel. I just thought after reading all the hype about opti's stuff that the bike would have had a little more get up and go. I guess it's just a case of live and learn.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:24 pm:          Chasespeed Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:31 pm:        HA, yeah, I currently bow to CRs... I was hoping to install some 250cc sticks, and a bigger turbo(good for about 550+)... but, i dont think thats an option these days... U running a stick or auto Eric? Chase   Scotty_j Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:35 pm:        He likes playing with his stick.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:37 pm:        With just under 180K She can still kick it! 4X4, 5 SPD. Flatbed Hillbilly style is how I roll.. Just becoming a $$$$ pit lately, At least it is american built and my cash spent stays in this country....   Chasespeed Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:41 pm:        Just becoming a $$$$ pit lately, At least it is american built and my cash spent stays in this country.... No joke... Chase   68eb429 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:47 pm:        hmmm i need to chime in here and i can smoke the 37 in goodyears till they howl!!! and its all Henry can do not to giggle to loudly   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:48 pm:        I thought scotty was talking dirty to me, and giving me them eye's! Now I know he just likes my truck.....   Tattoo72 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:51 pm:        Hey Scotty. You said I need to change the lower right in the fuel map? What columns & rows should I be changing to help with the decel popping? It looks like the race map has more fuel in that area.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 09:53 pm:        My Dually put on a nice smoke show! With Propane injection it was a BEAST at will. To bad the Automatic did not feel the same way!   Chasespeed Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 10:02 pm:        Ha this was the best thing I installed... load'er up under the turbo... No more tail gaiters...(and yes, that is a single) hahaha Chase (Message edited by chasespeed on May 23, 2008)   Scotty_j Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 10:35 pm:        Check the tuning guide. There's a chart that plainly defines the "popping zone". Copy/paste those values, front & rear, from the race map to your current map and try 'em out. If you keep popping, increase again, and so on, and so on... But datalogging is the key to a real tune. Right now you'll just be dumping fuel into something to make the problem go away.   Tattoo72 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 11:23 pm:        Thanks. I just looked the guide over again. I shouldn't be trying to understand all this stuff after having a couple to many beers. If you'd like to give the data logging a try. I'd be more than happy to bring over my laptop & cable tomorrow. Just let me know what time is good for you and i'll be there. I'll buy your breakfast and fuel on Sunday for helping educate me on ecmspy. I'll pm ya my cell #. Thank god this forum has spell check. LOL   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 11:37 pm:        Being the new guy you are required to buy breakfast and fuel anyways!   03worc9r Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2008 - 08:48 am:        Just breakfast and fuel. I had to carry a backpack with everyones extra crap in it.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2008 - 09:09 am:        But only for a couple days..... That was a long ride!
