I'm not sure how much is EPA. When I tuned both my previous Fords I gained MPG by a decent amount.I received a msg from TJ. The tune Steeda sends is the tune in the video. I am looking forward to it.
I believe Ford did not tune the car as in the video, as they could have, because of CAFE, not engine concerns. I imagine producing torque lower down will definitely effect MPG. The gas guzzler tax kicks in if the combined MPG is less than 22.1 MPG. That's why the Shelby GT350 has a gas guzzler tax.
In fact, a lot of cars would scream if they did not have to pay this tax.
But, I didn't buy my Bullitt for that. In fact, if Ford did not care about the GGT, I wonder how it would have performed out of the box? Maybe better than the GT350? Or as good?
The EPA is out of control and we have to live with it until we tune our cars. But you guys in CA are out of luck.
Have we seen the Voodoo 5.2 on an engine dyno? We know the Gen3 5.0 makes 497 on one.
