Hey guys... It's early so forgive my "matter of fact" post here..
I believe you guys are referring to Engine Temp? A sensor for Heat Temp doesn't exist.
There is a difference in Head Temp and Engine Temp when reading data.
Head Temp can reach up into the 400* range. This measurement is calculated by the ECM using various other tid bits of data and is not real. Close, but not real.

Had a typo in my post Dennis...
Should have read, a sensor for Head Temp doesn't exist.
Engine Temp is real as it uses the temp sensor in the front cylinder. That's where you guys are getting the mid 200 temps from.

It's the little things in life that make the world go 'round.
Such as. When I hear someone say I need a new Map for my tuner...
It's not a Map, it's a calibration. MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure.
Just say'n
Pass a lil of that wine around. Will ya?

Thanks guys...what I am monitoring is the engine temp on the Power Vision. I believe the PV is pulling from the front cylinder head temp. Please correct if this is wrong.
I am seeing a range of 240-260.
I am hoping these are good numbers. If there is a different range that would be better... ie. what are those who are running a good tune with a TTS seeing?
