EFILive Beta First Impressions

Now, can you guys tells us for sure that the ECU is capable of running the duration necessary at these higher RPM's for it to be usefull?

That's assuming air flow and all the other hard parts are addressed to make use of the rpm's as well.
 
Yes... we'll have trucks there, but our 3.0 truck tonight blew an exhaust port into the water jacket so it's not going now. Not a big deal but would've been nice to hear it leave at 4500-5000.

I have a couple of other options to see a CR truck go down the track on 5k tuning so we'll see. Hell we might just pull Chase's silver truck in 2.6. You can guarantee you'll see our trucks at Indy and our pull at full fuel over 4500 rpm!

Typically on good tuning you shorten duration as RPM's go up... It's a function of piston speed, rate of burn, etc. Injector choice determines your high rpm stability.

Ross can chime in, but the ecm hardware is definately capable of stable injections to 5000 rpm. If you kill the pilot above 3000 rpm or where it's not necessary to you, and you keep more current in the caps ready to fire the inj. only once instead of twice, or even three times. Pilot and Post are easy to control now and can be turned on/off by rpm or fuel rate.

Thank you, very informative. Is safe to assume all CR ECU's are equally capable or is that still unknown?

I can't say 100% for sure on the 6.7L ECM, hardware wise it would be more than capable. The older 03-05 ECM is really just a simplified version of the 06+ 5.9L ECM, it has pretty much the same 'problem' area's as the 06+.
But I would be foolish to suggest with 100% certainty that the same RPM can be reached without any solid testing on that ECM.
 
That vid was sick:rockwoot:. Im super stoked for EFI Live for to come out for the CR Cummins and see what unfolds (or should I say continues to unfold).

Man I need to get a 06+ CR Cummins :)
 
I don't think this question has been asked before but I know if you have an exhaust brake and turn it on while idling in the winter it helps warm the engine up faster. Is there a way with efi live for those of us without exhaust brakes to tune the truck to warm up faster besides using the high idle feature? Maybe if there is a way to do this in conjunction with the high idle feature we could get our engines up to temp faster allowing the heater to work better. I know it can take awhile for the inside of the cab to get comfortable. It might be an off the wall question but I figured I'd ask anyway. If we had a DSP5 switch this could be the first setting for 1st thing in the morning or something to that effect.
 
Id love to hang the rpm brayden at indy but I think my truck wont be making any power there...lol new motor is in the works.. So you know you will atleast have 2 tuned efi live cummins trucks there.. Im assuming justin also!
 
man this is like nascar in an 8000 lb truck well sort of but keep up the good work and hopefully it will hit the 03-05 crowd soon.... im not being pushy just hoping that it happens
