Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Dfeeds]

I am getting mine installed next week wonder if the exhaust growl changes also already have the MBRP race catback installed and the car is LOUD.

I have the Borla S exhaust and it made a difference. Slightly louder and a bit more of a growl.

I have the active exhaust with a Steeda x-pipe. The tune made a big difference on my car. In track mode I get crackles between upshifts and pops when I rev match downshifts. It's awesome.

Has anyone does comparisons with the stock Bullitt tune yet?

Hey guys what calibration do you have mine is LR3A-FPMGM3-ANA.bin.

My car is a 2020 PP1 6MT 300A car. Anyway to see if there is a revision to this tune?

My 1 week review..

I have had the kit on the car now for a week. For those who said they didn't notice an improvement I don't know what to say. On my car it definitely woke the car up and definitely believe the 15-20rwhp gain, but more importantly the car just feels like its chomping at the bit vs. feeling like something is holding it back. Also, driveability has also been improved as the increase of throttle response and low end torque is also a welcome aspect. Just want to point out I run 93-94 octane in this car even in Cali where we only get 91. I blend 2 gal. of 101 VP street blaze along with 2 gallons of E85. Car is running good.

My IATs are higher at idle at a light than with the OEM intake. However, once moving it cools down quickly. I am a little perplexed about this as the seal on top of the CAI definitely is sealing against the hood liner as you can see the trace of the intake on the hood liner.

I have noticed that my A/F ratio can go as low as 11.3:1 when WOT in the heart of the torque band. I didn't do a KAM reset and have had no issues with vacuum.

A caveat, my car is a 300a base Mustang GT PP1 car, 6MT. No drive modes so if you have my car with no drive modes the snappier throttle response is a definite plus, also there is less lag for the car getting on the cams and nice deep intake growl when getting near 4k rpm and up, I also noticed a slight change in exhaust note, my car still has the OEM mufflers but with a Borla switchfire. This will soon change as new axle back will be done soon.

The kit seems to be better for base manual cars. I feel the same way.

How you liking the gears?

So far really like them, I am going through break in still, about 225 miles to go, then change diff oil. But when I am finished, I will really get on it. I'll update the 4.09 gear thread soon.

I have put down my thoughts much earlier in this thread, and I feel the same way ~5 months later. Better value for a manual car than the A10 it seems; those have such a gearing advantage, and the extra torque is outside of the rev range you’ll see as much compared to the 6MT.

To echo @Dave2013M3 somewhat, this kits improvements to driveability might be its best overall asset. Normal mode especially just feels right now, and I don’t have to be in sport plus by default like before. This is useful for DD and makes the car easier to drive smoothly, which my family appreciates. Sport plus is a touch more aggressive than before and in some ways that can be annoying during DD duty. I’m still pleased overall, even knowing I left some power on the table for the money I spent vs e85/flex etc tunes.

As an A10 owner, I would say i definitely feel the difference with the <4k rpm torque increase every day i drive. I do tend to drive a little more agressively and live in a rural area. Again this is a solid tune for those of us with daily drivers and don't plan on anymore engine upgrades.

Not meaning to say the A10 doesn’t benefit, for sure. The 6MT is just so under-geared in 2018+ cars, the torque is very obvious.

That was my argument a few months ago. "Some" particulars just weren't hearing it, though. It reminded me of that meme.

"I don't get how some people can feel such a drastic difference while others don't,"

"because manual trans and tall gearing,"

l"it just doesn't make sense,"

"literally double the underdrive gears in an auto to keep the car above 4k..."

"so perplexing."
