Platinum Plugs = Detonation ??

[BOD89LX]

So I just switched to Lund tunes on my car and it detonated like mad at part throttle and WOT. So Van in his ultimate wisdom noticed I had motorcraft platinum plugs AGSF 12FM1's from when I did the 127JLT. 2.4 upper and 65mm throttle body. So he recommend that I try a set of NGK 4177's and boom problem solved . I will add the Lund tune seem great drives like stock and the clutch protection being disabled is a great thing. Now as if my new rims ever show up I will get to the drag strip again and see if my tank has a 10 second pass in it. I want to add it did the same thing with my old tuner but they fixed the tune to get rid of it which was a matter of pulling timing.

Big thanks to Van @ Revan Racing!!!!

Why did you disable the clutch protection?

Thanks,

Did you have to ask for the clutch protection to be removed or does that already come on a Lund term? I will let the OP answer the question on why.

So I can get the car to leave on a tire and not bog.

I did ask to have it disabled but not sure if I had to just wanted to make sure when I ordered the tuner from Revan Racing.

Does this setting affect Launch Control?

Snoopy, a simple yes would have sufficed!!! :cuss:


I did not realize Bod put the part number instead of just naming the plugs lol. I already have TR6 in my car, just had them put in the other day

I havent tried the launch control since doing the mods to my car and running drag radials. I was able to go faster at the track without launch control so havent done any more testing with it other then the RPM only feature.

That's great news!
If I was still spending more time drag racing my car, I think I'd do a Lund tune only on it just to get rid of the electronic powertrain feature.

when you get a chance get some vids of you launching hard and also try the LC just to humor us :beer:

The best clutch protection anyone could do on one of those cars is a gear swap.

Thank you for asking the question, I would have never known the difference. I posted the information that was of interest to me and I thought I would share.

I wonder if these plugs would benefit a stock engine?

I will see if I can round up a go pro once my forgeline wheels show up if they ever do (lol) and I get my 315/35-20 NT05R's mounted up. The only time I tried to use the launch control with mods and drag radials there was a big cloud of clutch smoke that came out from my car........
