A little back story...I have a 2011 GT M6. Currently sporting a cobra jet intake manifold, monoblade tb, jba lth, id1000's, return fuel system w/ 450lph fuel pump and aeromotive regulator. The car runs HARD. Now that that's out of the way let's get into the purpose of this thread:
So I've got 3 different strategies unlocked for my vehicle. The stock 11 GT, a 12 Boss, and a 13 Boss. All 3 have different pros and cons. The gt seems to drive the best, which is shared with the 12 boss. The 13 boss has great cold start tendencies, but the way the 13's manage tip, regardless of what settings I've got I cannot eliminate the tip issue. The crap that hpt cannot seem to figure out the hard limit at 7600rpm in the gt's is why I've ventured into the other strategies.
I've also got a friend with a 2013 gt, the car will not accept spark changes. Along with tip in bs, again regardless of settings, will give a serious tip retard on shift. Switching this car over to the 11 GT strategy cured EVERY issue it was having.
What really irks me about this...I can put the SAME exact values in all 3 and from strategy to strategy the car will run completely different. This is a serious serious issue. Same values SHOULD run the exact same from strategy to strategy in the same vehicle with the same hardware yet there is no predictability to what the car will do from strategy to strategy. There are obviously some "hard" coding that effects this or possibly some tables that hpt has deemed "not needed". There are also tables that in a compare, even if they are set the EXACT same will show as a difference. Yet another issue.
I already know people swap these around for certain reasons. Why has hpt not thought of a way to create a universal strategy for all coyotes where EVERYTHING works as designed and eliminate the work load? Take a 12 boss open up all of the tables and here's your 11-12 base tune file. Likeswise with the 13's. Take a 13 boss and this becomes the strategy for ALL 13+ coyotes.
Why can't some sort of universal strategy be created for the coyote cars as well?
I've been working this car and the setup with hpt for over 2 years now. This particular topic is one that is extremely frustrating. It's only recently that it has really become a thorn that keeps stinging.
I can take a GM and if the car is the EXACT same setup flash the same tune from a previous car it MAY require MINOR touchups in certain areas. That however is not the case with fords...and it should be.
Come on HPT, this is within your abilities to resolve this.
