2.7 on the Dyno this morning for some competitive analysis. Who would like to see power/torque comparisons between the Ford Procal and Pulsar XT? We’ll also investigate the effects of running the two devices in conjunction with each other.
UPDATE Jan 19:
Alright guys, here are the dyno comparisons from our testing yesterday. This was done at our Sanford, FL location, our test Bronco runs a factory intake/exhaust system and 35" tires.
The stock run backed up what we've seen on dozens of different runs during our development time this past year. 272hp/347tq.
Flashing the Ford Procal into the vehicle, we saw a gain of 35hp and 32tq, for 307hp/379tq.
Next, the Pulsar XT, run on Level 5. New peaks of 321hp/420tq, which is +49hp/73tq over stock and +14hp/41tq over the Procal calibration.
Below is the graph comparing the Procal to the Pulsar XT.
And since so many of you asked, we reflashed the Procal into the Bronco and ran a couple final runs with the Procal calibration and Pulsar XT set to Level 5. Initially, we were surprised to see the gains we did but as we studied the data it all makes sense to see what we're seeing. Running the devices together peak jumped to 345hp/440tq, which is now +73hp/93tq over stock.
It appears the Procal device makes some changes to some torque management tables that we can't control through our inline Pulsar module, so with that internal calibration change, the affect of the airflow modifications the Pulsar XT requests are greater, and we're seeing a solid increase in output. It's worth noting that watching the data throughout the pulls, IAT and knock all remain well in the safe zone on 93 Octane. On first look, it appears there should be no real negative effect by running the devices together (if you run good 91+ Octane) but we aren't going to make that an official statement unless we were able to do a lot more testing, so do so at your own risk.
At the end of the day, we know the improved transmission shift strategies within the Procal are a big reason a consumer would go that route but the engine calibration is extremely mild and leaves a lot of safe/usable power on the table that our Pulsar XT can unleash. We're bias in thinking Pulsar offers a better user experience along with more power/torque. With no PC/Laptop required, an easy 15 minute plug and play install and an extremely intuitive smartphone app to control it all. The ease of calibrating tire size, setting your pedal sensitivity where you like it, navigating the app and ability to change power levels on the fly make it a win/win in comparison to Procal in our minds, not to mention Pulsar XT is less expensive. But this is the beauty of having options in the market. Take the data for what it's worth and please feel free to comment your thoughts or questions.
