2015-17 Mustang GT Ford Performance Power Packs

[D.Brown]

How is revving to 7500 more dangerous without the manifold -- versus say not getting a billet oil pump gear upgrade -- also, where is the previous info regarding lower limits on packs 1 and 2? Did I miss them? I haven't seen any notifications that the folks who have pack one have hit the rev limit yet?

For some reason I was thinking of 8k rpm and not 7500. I had mine set to 7300 with my canned SCT tune. My mistake.

Okay -- thanks for the clarification [MENTION=17266]D.Brown[/MENTION] -- just really looking for accurate information -- I'd thought I would wait for pack 3 to come out and see how other people like it -- the loss of low end torque might not be such a bad thing, seeing as how it usually just contributes to more wheel spin anyway - but now I think I'm in the pack 2 camp...

I'm going for the PP2 for the simple fact that the usable power from the manifold is so high up in the RPM range that it's really only ideal for the track. Which is great for some people, but the majority of my driving is on the street and I would enjoy the low end responsiveness more than I would the 6500rpm and up increase.

I think I'm getting greedy -- I just want more of everything everywhere lol

Why does Ford offer it? Because they can?

CARB.

CARB.

I meant why they added the larger throttle body as part of the Stage 2. Likely because the 350 CAI doesnt bolt right to the OEM throttle body on the GT without some messy coupler

 

[Strokerswild]

They make a bespoke tube for the EcoBoost CAI setup, which uses the same GT350 airbox, so I would think that making one to fit the stock GT TB wouldn't be a big deal....

I'd almost be willing to bet that since the entire CAI to the TB was already CARB certified due to the GT350 in terms of components, so it probably was easier and cheaper for them to go that route. I can't imagine the TB itself being worth much in terms of power.

Pure speculation, of course, but CARB regulations are ridiculously stringent when it comes to non-OEM parts....

The yahoo article mentioned previously indicates that the rev limiter is at 7500 for all three power packs, but earlier information on this forum contradicts this. Could someone who has the stage 1 package let us know where the rev limiter is?

Yahoo article has false info. The car is not going to be 490+ hp or the rev limit for all power packs are 7500 rpm.Only power pack 3 will have 7500 rpm limit due to gt350 intake manifold.

I don't disagree -- but where's the correct information?

Exactly! That's why I would like someone with stage 1 to let us know where the rev limit is set. All of this speculation is just a waste of time.

There's at least one dude I know of in VA with an NA E85 dyno tune that cuts out at 7600 -- so it is possible to get in that range -- he has an MBRP catback -- not sure what else - but if anything it's just a couple of bolt-ons. I don't think he has a different manifold.

Mind you -- this is not at all the route I'd go -- for one thing the guy can't drive it anywhere...

More information I inquired to Ford Performance about regarding warranty...hopefully it makes a bit more sense. Sounds like unless the parts installed caused an issue, your 5/60 warranty remains intact for original parts (not the added performance pack parts).

Hello Mitch. My name is Mike how can I help you?
Mitch says:
Hello Mike, I have a question regarding warranty on the new Performance Packs for the 2015 to 2017 Mustang GT
Mitch says:
When bought, and installed by a Ford dealer, does this reduce your powertrain warranty to 3yr/36K, or do you keep the 5yr/60K, and the 3/36 only applies to the Ford Performance parts?
Mitch says:
Like if there was an internal engine failure, would it be covered by the powertrain warranty, and still with 5yr/60K coverage?
Mike says:
It depends on where the failure is attributed to, if it is due to the calibration, the warranty is 3/36k
Mike says:
A dealer would have to prove that the calibration caused damage in order to deny your base, 5/60k warranty, after the 3/36k period
Mitch says:
So if it was attributed to something like running lean or something of that nature, which could be attributed to the new parameters of the tune, it could only be covered for 3yr/36K.
Mike says:
Yes
Mitch says:
Ok, and the 3yr/36K is from the date of the original vehicle purchase, or from installation? So if the car was exactly 2 years old, I had an issue after 1 more year (after 3/36K), it could be denied? Or does the 3yr/36K start from the performance pack installation date?
Mike says:
I might add that these are also calibrations that are engineered by Ford, they know what they're doing. It will not run lean, and goes through the same durability testing that base cars do.
Mike says:
The warranty on any part would be from the original start date, not from the time the parts were installed
Mitch says:
Ok, I think that clears it up, thanks Mike[/FONT]

Well that is actually good to know. Thank you for sharing.

Right from the horses mouth that our precious power train warranty is still intact! This has always been a debate and should have been laid to rest awhile ago!
