What gap?

I think the answer to question was already given here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...rmance-modification-thread.86459/post-2128989

How many folks are running these plugs in their 2.7 either in stock form or just with ProCal and exhaust upgrade? Any difference in performance over factory plugs?

Just few of us on here. I don't think there's any benefit to run them without some sort of tune/piggyback. Engine idles better with these plugs, but I can't comment on power since I did my Intercooler at the same time.

Wrapping up my testing with the Pulsar XT. I just put E30 in the tank to see how it does stacked with the ProCal. Should have a chance to run it tomorrow or Saturday.

I plan to post a separate review for the Pulsar XT, but when I'm done with the E30 ProCal pulls I'll post the results here. I'm pretty excited - Hoping to beat my best current times

I posted this on the SuperChips ProCal vs. Pulsar XT thread, but wanted to post and update here as well.


Okay, so I've had some fun testing the Pulsar XT and Ford ProCal Tune combo. Still working on my standalone Pulsar XT review, but I'll post my results and thoughts with the two stacked together here.

To get this right out of the way, like SuperChips said, I wouldn't daily these two devices together. The reason being, there's too much positive degrees showing up on the KnK Adder PID on my Ford ProCal 4. I'm not an expert here, but from what I've read, up to 5.0 degrees is "Okay" but anything more the PCM has to retard too much timing in order to prevent detonation. The ProCal by itself with see a positive reading, but normally under 5 degrees. Keep in mind, this doesn't happen at WOT, but normal everyday throttle input. You never want to see a positive number when going WOT. You want to see either 0.0 or negative numbers.

With the Pulsar XT installed, even on LVL 2, I see in upwards of 6.0-8.0 degrees on 93 Pump gas and higher on LVL3+. One thing worth mentioning, I use run of the mill Sheetz gas, so a top tier gas may show different results. That being said, I also tested an E30 mix and saw similar behavior, but to a much lesser extent (Under 5 degrees) so that could be a safe option, but hardly convenient for a daily driver.

Like SuperChips said, I don't see any detonation on WOT, so let's get to some performance numbers

Running 93 Octane + Ford ProCal tune & the Pulsar XT set to level 5 I ran the 0-60 time below.
The best run I had was 5.04s, but I experienced wheel hop.

Same setup as above, but with a mix of E30 fuel.

4.8 Seconds! Crazy for a five thousand pound shoe box on 35's This is a bit faster compared to the RaceChip S that I was using on setting 5.

I won't daily this combo, but wanted to share my experience with the two stacked together.

good lord

Man the cold weather does amazing things…
New best for 0-60, 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile.

Custom turning coming soon…shall we go for the 12’s?

DAYUM!!!

And I thought I was pretty cool running mid 14's. LMFAO

I've got nothing on this.

New 3" CV Fabrications catback exhaust installed. I'm digging it thus far. Has a deep tone that's not annoying and doesn't have any drone. Bronco also feels like it has more HP/TQ and gets up to speed faster during normal acceleration. Sounds good at WOT I'm impressed

Here's some pics of the stock plugs I removed. These only have 26K on them.

Pulled one of the new plugs out after a 100 miles or so. While the plug base ring shows signs of running rich the white insulator shows no signs of preignition/detonation. The ground strap shows the discoloration at the half way point, so the heat range appears to be good.

I will say, the Bronco idles smoother and she's running better than ever. Going to replace the Front & Rear diff oil this weekend and then see what she can do with E30. Pulsar XT testing is next

Don't boosted engines tend to run rich as a cooling factor? That doesn't look absurdly rich. Keep up the good work. I'm learning a bunch.

Yes they do, especially Ecoboost motors, so this is actually pretty normal.
