tuning stock car... worth it?

BA939P · Aug 19, 2017

Hey guys.
My car only has only K&N filter and Ford Racing catback exhaust, and thinking about tune it without adding other parts.
What Im looking for is only low end torque, betther throttle response and no lift shift if possible, and don't really care about the peak number.

I don't know how much difference it would make, and what brand should I choose? VMP, Lund....

Thanks guys!:clap2:

It's all in the tuner.. I went with BAMA. Mods in my sig.. can feel a big time difference.

The ford racing stage 1 tune looks promising I'm doing mine on Tuesday and they said at 1500 RPM you gain 40 lb/ft of torque, that has to feel great!

I'm waiting on the Ford PP2 to arrive this week. Want to keep a warranty.

Definitely worth it. On past NA cars I've had a tune on it did little but I was pleasantly surprised with the GT.

When I first had the car back in May 2015, I used the SCT X4 canned tune.
I picked up 20rwhp, and the throttle response improved dramatically.
It was very worth doing to my stock vehicle.

Yes, more power and crisper. Lund with nguage here.

I used Steeda CAI and Tune.

VMP Tune FTW

It is a night and day difference with a good ecu/tcu tune, even on 91 octane. I just tuned my two week old '17 gt last week (Lund Ngauge) and I'm completely stock aside from mbrp race catback. Noticed a huge throttle response difference, better acceleration (even part throttle) and nice crisp firm shifts. It chirps 2nd and 3rd now too lol. The Ngauge has a lot of cool features with live data monitoring which is nice to have eyes on, especially once you make big power.

Curious if you've had a chance to use the Ngauge to log your knock sensors on a WOT run with the 91 octane and the new tune?
