See I talked to vince about it and they way he tunes it dosent matter what map sensor we have. He said its more accurate if we have the 2/2.5/3bar sensor but it dosent really change what he does.

So the good and bad of today: We will start with the good. New brakes=awesome, lsj bbk and lsj rears huge difference in braking. Also car went on dyno last night, highest run approx 390 ftlbs trq @ 18psi on mustang dyno, but car didn't like it very much, finshed pull but shut down agter. Turned down boost, more coservative tune still put down avereage 341/322 @14psi after many runs. Now to the bad. Unfortunately had slight issue today, p0068 along with engine power reduced pretty much any time crossed over into boost. They think it just small tune prob, going in tomorrow morning for adj. But on ride home from CED Autox(only observing today) went into limp mode like 8 times. IT was hot and bumper to bumper traffic, don't know if any bearing. So today went from happy to sad real quick. Any ideas or just wish me luck. Love the car when ruinning correctly, but hasn't been the case much

******* weird... Same exact **** happened to me about 8 months ago when I was tuning my car for 18PSI.. Good numbers BTW!
Honestly it could be anything though that sets off that code which sucks... I would say unplug the battery and hold the cables together for 5 mins so that it resets everything and see if you continue to have the same issue. That's what I did with mine and it eventually went away. After going through every single wire and making sure they were all good, ugh what a pain. good luck man.

So guys, if you are running the LTR7IX-11 go to your parts store and grab whatever they have left. NGK has apparently discontinued them. The only place i could get them was O'Rileys and i may have cleaned their warehouse out. Autozone and Adavnaced couldnt get them even from their warehouse.

I couldnt find them. O'Rileys finally found out they had been discontinued.

They did have 4 in the ware house though.

The 7 is two steps colder i believe. 5 is hot, 6 is next down, and then 7.

That might be something to look into. I was going to see if i could get a hold of NGK to see if they truly did discontinue those plugs.

Yay! that's not the plug I run at all. And mine arn't discontinued either...
For some reason I think I ran that plug at one time or another though...

What a relief.
