0-60 times super slow

My best friend works at my local ford dealership. He's got a tech there that may be able to hook me up, so I'm holding off until I hear from him.

I've always liked bikes. This has been my latest project.

Gas mileage isn't even worth calculating because it uses so little. It'll be my grocery getter and bank fishing transport this summer. Might also be doing in town commuting after a regear. It has plenty of acceleration just not enough top end speed to keep up with traffic.

Ok, then I would definitely hold off until you hear from them.

Now when I said I hate bikes I ment normal bikes. What you have there sir is awesome! Looks like a barrel of monkeys no doubt.

Spark plug change does make a difference. Go ahead and get the Granatelli COP Connectors upgrade while your at it. ($100)
They work awesome with tune.
Make sure you are running 93 and are programmed for it, HUGE difference over 87!

I have the lisle 65600 tool needed for the plugs. 4 of mine broke, really not a bad job as long as your rear one does not break.

Not sure what my 0-60mph is, only have distances on my time stamps from the tracks. I should be pretty close to the 8.5-9.0 second range with my mods I am guessing...

Also 4.56 gears WAY to high unless you tow all of the time. Just a lift and bigger tires, 4.10s. Also seems like your time stamp is pretty important. I know a lift and big tires look good, but if its speed you want, you will have to ditch 'em

I look into the connections you mentioned for sure. Could you give me some more information on it? What exactly makes it worth the extra $100? What does it do exactly?

My speed isn't important to me nor is the off the line speed contrary to what it may seem according to my posts. I'm using the 0-60 time as a baseline to measure the overall performance of my truck and how it compares to like build trucks. I merely want my truck to operate at its maximum capibility and it seems like its not. So I'm simply trying to figure it out. =)

Did a test this morning on my way to work and did 8.9 seconds. It was 71 degrees engine was still cool and transmission was only 105 degrees. Do you think the operating temps of my truck could cause a power loss for some reason?

[PerpetualSeanX]

On top of the cold test I did this morning, I also did an operating temperature test just before getting in to work, same temp outside, it ran a 9.7 second 0-60. Seems like perhaps I am losing some power once it reaches operating temps. What could cause that if that were the case?

What exactly are your "normal" operating temps?

Of course you will run better when its cooler outside and the engine is cooler, but it shouldn't net almost a whole second difference... something is definitely up

Just updated to 3.2 on my cs to get the datalog feature in the hopes I can solve my sluggish 0-60 speeds. Since I last posted nothing has changed with the dog slow times, so I'm really hoping this datalog will help them help me diagnose my trucks issues.

Can anyone use this information to help me? Thanks for the help sorry for the lack of posts, just nothing had changed so I figured Id wait until I did something to help. I'm not sure how to even use it it's updating while I'm at the bar. Thanks for any insight.

This is the absolute first time I've heard of datalogging on the CS/CTS platform. Can you provide a list of monitoring options, how many can be monitored at a time, how you are able to view them and if you are able to convert them to a spread sheet type format like excel?
