Very low load numbers?

I made a log of a 3rd gear pull this morning and noticed my load readings were very low. My peak load was 212! This is with the newly installed 35R, 880cc injectors, and 25lbs boost. I know the load reading should be higher then that. What could cause a low reading like that? Havent had a chance to do another log but everything else on the log seemed normal.

I assume this is calcuated load? Maybe because you didn't include your new injector size in the calculations?

Log 2-byte load to know for sure what your load is or just look at your RPM and timing from your logs to see what load column you are really falling in.

not accounting for larger injectors is the most common reason why you would be getting incorrect load readings.

No, we are talking about the injector size in your load calcuation, if you are in fact using calculated load.

Its the injectors...I had the same thing happen to me when i put my 880's in. You can just log 2-byte as stated above.

Look how load is calculated in the ECU, it uses IPW ...Your injector pulse widths are different now with these injectors therefore altering your readings

Gotcha, guess I'll have to get the 2-byte load hooked up.

^ Use DLL to calculate some numbers.

I guess that would dyno dependent. For me on a low mustang I was seeing 320ish 2 byte that put me around 350 whp. On a Dynomite dyno (which reads like a dynojet) 290-295 2 byte put me around 370ish
Like you said though. Your numbers could be way different. I just answered your question from I was seeing with my car

I see you have a bigger turbo than me so I am not sure if that would matter. I guess load would be load

well I am at 295-305 load and manage 370-384 on dll. How would dll rate to a dynojet on my previous tune I was 370whp on a dj now I am at that on the street where there is actually load on the car unlike a dj... any ideas. would that be 390-400 on a dj?

Would a slipping clutch affect the load in the 2byte load? I assume it may since going up or down a hill can change it?
