So I've been running the Ford power pack 1 tune for over a year. I put this on the car shortly after purchasing so I didn't have much seat time with the stock tune. I did notice in D that it was more willing to downshift, but other than that, I couldn't tell a difference. A dyno may have shown otherwise and the local drag strip has been flooded out all year. So I couldn't compare time slips to see if there really was an improvement.
I took advantage of a Black Friday sale and got a PBD Ngauge to try something new. I did state to PBD I wanted drive-ability to be priority. The car is a street car/cruiser first with only limited auto x or HPDE usage (like 1 a year again if the track isn't underwater). Gone through a few logs and now on the 3rd revision. Honestly, the car drives exactly the same as the FPP tune. I seriously can't tell the difference even at WOT pulls. It's an auto so i did expect maybe firmer shifts at WOT at redline but really nope. This is not a knock on PBD, so please don't read it that way. I just want to set my expectations. I'm no tuner.
On my old 15 GT car i had a lund tune and i would say the biggest difference with them is the up'd the redline and really firmed up the shifts even under normal driving. Again, other than that, I really couldn't feel a difference. I did specify with PBD to just leave it at 6500 rpm shift points. With Lund, they gave me the firm shifting and a OEM shift logic tune just for those lazy days.
So guys that have just bolt ons or stock with tune, do you feel the aftermarket tune was beneficial? What were your expectations and were the met?
