Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Dans18GT]

@Rpinaiii yes I did. I really want to lengthen the hose coming off of the valve cover a bit. I think it would sit normal then.

Ok. So the engine cover still fits then. I haven't put my cover on yet. Cool. Yeah a longer hose would be better. The can tilts a bit. I wonder if JLT would sell just the long hose part.

I'm going to look at the factory hose tomorrow and see if I can use it somehow. These molded hoses aren't easy to work with.

How has anyone figured out how to fit the Ford Performance oil separator bracket around the new throttle body? Ford states the oil separator can be used on the 2019 Bullitt, which uses the same throttle body.

Do you have a picture? I looked it up but not sure exactly how it is mounted. If it is tight near the throttle body sensor, then you might just put some thermal tape around the hose to protect the sensor.

Here is the separator on a 2019 GT with stock air inlet/throttle body.

Guys can you here the intake now that it's a semi open intake. Wish you can hear some intake noise along with the exhaust.

You definitely can if your exhaust isn't too loud.

I googled and seen some bullit or gt350 pics and that separator works but its tight. There are a couple of threads in the forum about that as well.

that 42 lbs is supposedly supposed to be at 2000 rpm. which looking at my graph is only a 10-15 lbs increase at 2000...

The dyno run you posted starts at 2300RPM and ends at 6600RPM. Why don't these shops run their dunes from 1500RPM up to redline, 7500RPM in this case?

Anybody have this Power Pack kit installed on a 2018-2020 Mustang GT 10 speed 300A yet? If so, I would like to hear about how the car improved with this kit installed.

Thanks

I really like how you cut your engine cover instead of the hole for hose you removed that whole front part. How did you do it? Tools? Cause just cutting the small hole i did was a pain. That material isnt the greatest to work with.

Thanks, I was trying to make it look factory instead of an engineering afterthought. It's awful material to work with as it seems to have a low melting point. I used a dremel with an assortment of attachments, none of which worked great but got it done. I finished it with sandpaper, by hand and on a block.

I think I read that dyno runs get cut off early because the car hits the speed limiter before redline.

The temp skyrocketed here the last few days. It's almost 90° out. IATs still seem to stay within 4° when moving but if I'm stopped for a while the temps definitely climb a fair bit. I think I hit 130° today. The tune is definitely very dependent on the quality of gas and temperature. 93 e10 would be the best from a pump, especially during the summer. I just dumped in 4 galons of e50/e85 (says it's within that range) to help a bit.

Another recommendation I have is to make sure advanced traction control is off. Even with the stock tune, this made a noticeable difference in the low end torque. It just doesn't give it to you. Although, if you do, make sure your tires are warmed up or you'll lose the rear end real quick.

I did take it out two nights ago when it was a bit colder and first gear, especially, is insanely fun. There's absolutely no hesitation like the stock tune. Some kids in a modded wrx chased me down (they actually followed me for quite a while). You know the type, bigger turbo, decals everywhere, rap music blasting... passenger yelled out the window that he wants me to tell him if I like the new tail lights at the next light and I just smiled. That poor little thing was obliterated. We got to the next light and the windows roll up LOL. Before the tune I know I would've lost off the line and had to quickly play catch up. That lag being gone is so nice.

Do you have manual or automatic? When you raced the WRX you had advance traction control off and on what drive mode?

Manual. Advanced traction off is pretty much my default after I noticed the big difference it made when I first got the car. So yes, it was off. And standard. I don't have track mode and using sport mode prevents me from turning off advanced traction control.
