Harry over the phone mentioned shipping by end of this week. But agreed an email confirmation / receipt would be greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to add to this that I actually received an email confirmation today along with tracking number so thanks and cheers !

The Dyno was done on a 2018 correct? What kind of numbers can you expect from a 15-17 GT? I am seriously considering between this and the Ford Racing Power Pack 2.

Thread bump!

These are now available in the UK so a contender for me. Has anyone had fitted and have any feedback to share?

Thanks!

Pulls harder than stock in mid range I observed and stock like iats during testing. Good for straight e or 9x tunes but not a candidate for flex tunes. That was the the only reason I switched back to stock intake so could stay on flex.

Is it not possible to run a cai on a Flex tune?

This cai specifically due to the MAF turbulence and the idle variations. Likely due to the MAF being located so close to the opening. Does not allow for e content learning to function correctly. Straight e or gas tune does not rely on the learning capability hence no issue for those.

The other main thread on this topic goes into much more detail on this if needed.

Thanks, I later found it all in great detail. I spoke with Lund and they said the CAI's don't do much for 2018+ cars anyway. I'd love to see a dyno with stock and CAI on the E85 tune and no other variable but that seems elusive.

I'm a little torn as there is only one station within my usual drive that has E85. There seem to be enough in Florida but with some dead zones. So I may be able to get by with the E85 file mostly, but a rough idle may be okay in an emergency situation.

Go with two separate e85 and 93 tunes. In an emergency, switch the tune at the pump to 93 while filling up. Just a thought.

I just ordered the Lund tune. :) It comes with both the E85 and Flex. They don't seem to push 91/93 files if you go that route. I gather running 93 in the Flex tune is good enough?

I've been told their Flex with 93 is still better than stock but they don't seem too keen on non ethanol tunes on a NA Gen 3 Coyote.

I can tell you my 1/4 improved from 12.225 to 12.100 with the Steeda CAI and 93 tune. I’m getting a e85 tune next week after some data logging this weekend on 93. No other changes and similar DA on both of those runs several months apart. Only difference is the Steeda CAI and 93 tune.

Not sure if traction control is kicking in at 7700-7800 rpm or if I’m hitting the limiter. I have the advanced trac and traction control turned off but the car is bogging down before shifting at wot and that rpm range. I want to get that addressed before the e85 tune install.

I’m thinking the 3.15 rear is keeping me out of the 11’s on 93. Today conditions are perfect so I hope to data log a few runs tonight and get in the 11s. If the car doesn’t bog down I think it will. Maybe. We will see.

"Largest mass air meter on the market (121mm)" The PMAS is 120mm. Well played Steeda, lol.
