Not long ago, I got myself an Adenaline HPOP from Dieselsite.com. As part of their pre-purchase tech support/ consultation, they asked for some data logging with my AutoEnginuity. As soon as I sent it in to them and they got to look at the numbers, they got suspicious that something just didn't look quite right. They suggested I talk to Bill Cohron at Power Hungry Performance. For anybody not familiar with the name, he's sort of the grandfather of Powerstroke performance tuning. From what I understand, he kinda started it all.
Bill looked at the same data logs and noted the fuel injector pulse width was WAY off. Normally it is supposed to be no more than about 4 ms. Mine were as high as 6.5 ms.
I had the PCM reflashed previously with a performance tune for my single shot injectors. But after several tries, it just wasn't working right. So I gave up there and got a chip from another vendor that ran much better. But it smoked too easilly and somewhat excessively. I also had to keep a close watch on my EGT's when towing or putting the smackdown on some kid with a jacked up 1/2 ton Chevy with Cherry Bomb muffler stickers on the windows. I was wondering if my problem might be a case of "too many cooks in the kitchen" as far as my tuning was concerned.
So after a few camping trips the activity calendar is settling down some where I can get that little issue rectified. I've sent both my PCM and my chip to Bill to get everything straightened out. With him fixing my PCM flash and putting his tunes on the chip, I'll have just one "cook" making the finished product.
Hopefully within a few days, it'll be running like a different truck.

I kinda knew it too TG
