Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Mustangpursuit]

I did my baseline 2018 GT dyno at same place with same technician as a 2019 Bullitt. The Bullit hit 446 rwhp and 387 wtq stock before his tune. My 2018 GT (with an h pipe only, res delete) hit 438 rwhp and 404 wtq. I am not sure about the huge difference in torque but that's what it was for both. IDK. But I plan on going back some day after more mods to see how my baseline changed. Not going anytime soon. My gt is a manual.

Bullit has same advertised peak Tq as a GT though with supposedly some 6-8+ additional bumps before peak.

That is what we need to see.

I want to see a before and after dyno of having the pack for a while though, cause the computer got more time to learn?

Very interesting about it reducing rev hang, hadn't seen anyone else mention it. That'd be huge if true, it drives me nuts.

I need a reason to leave the house.. I hope that it’s not a placebo and I’m misleading everyone. I plan to check it out a little closer the next time I’m out. I was in sport plus mode the whole time which could make a difference. Anyone else out there with an M6 and the tune please confirm or deny, I’m curious.

As suggested by others I'm now using the remote mounted JLT passenger side catch can. The only thing I don't like is that it's touching the windshield fluid reservoir.

Does anyone else have this installed? Did I do something wrong? Or is yours also pressed against the windshield washer fluid tank?

I'd keep an eye on it - UPR catch can in my previous car (not remote mounted which can make a difference due to proximity to the engine) was sitting on one of the hoses and started melting insulation until I put an insulating tape on it. I'll be checking periodically if this isn't happening here.

I have a JLT now which sits on top of the throttle body connector and just in case put the thermal insulating tape between them.

Thanks for the suggestion, luckily mine is only touching the little yellow cover lid thing and not the actual reservoir plastic, I'll keep an eye on it, I'm also gonna message JLT and ask them if I did something wrong because in their pictures the catch can is actually pretty separated from everything else.

I can't believe one spends some decent coin on a catch can and all you get is some nickel plated phillips head screws that'll rust? Wow JLT, just wow.

The catch can gets HOT too. Ask me how I know lol. I am going to check out the thermal tape, that would help by the throttle body connector. When I get my air inlet tube I'll sort all this out when I go back in there plus need to tape up the wiring I cut for the sensor to reach the air tube.
One question, engine cover delete or modify to fit the kit?

I bought this back in 2016 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GJQAK0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Barely used any of it.

I left engine cover off since I was fiddling with the fit of the intake tube (finally got it seated right) and I think I am going to leave it off.

Is there a part number on that air box?

There probably is, I'd have to remove it to see. What's the point of only buying the box? The maf housing is a different size than the the stock and would require a tune.

Here is what I have for the Bullitt intake system. Please double check it because this is what I found on the forums


Bullitt air intake parts
Intake tube KR3Z-9B659-A
Air box KR3Z-9600-A

@kz I bought cool insulating tape from advance auto parts. Where did you tape? Thanks for help. That catch can is real close to sensor.

Just recieved air inlet part. Gonna put in later today most likely.

See below - I also taped side of the air box since there seemed to be a hole despite the foam seal.

It may be unnecessary but I'd like to think that replacing that harness would not be fun at all....

^^^ @kz cool thanks.
