I was just thinking about the amount of table changes I mentioned between what 5 Star does and what I did to my particular RV. I need to qualify those numbers with what the rest of "tuning" is all about. The ECM in the Ford V10 is itself VERY primitive and basic. To give you all an idea of what professional "tuners" have to deal with on the rest of the vehicles on the track and road, I looked at a couple of my other tunes...
Ford V10 calibration changes made by 5 Star...
22 Engine tables modified.
42 Transmission tables modified.
What I changed in my particular Ford V10...
59 Engine tables modified.
71 Transmission tables modified.
Changes I made in a Pirelli World Challenge GTS car...
132 Engine tables modified.
(Manual trans, no TCM.)
Changes I made in my daily driven ~550hp LS3 SS...
237 Engine tables modified.
(Manual trans, no TCM.)
Changes I made in my 800+hp LSA...
470 Engine tables modified.
(Manual trans, no TCM.)
So yeah, the Ford V10 engine management is pretty primitive. lol.
This is what just a couple of these calibration tables looks like... Everyone of those individual "cells" can be modified and it will change the characteristics of the engine operation. Change a few of those values wrong in a few of those cells and it could cost an engine.
