Yep, cold automatic transmissions can be weird. I always try to let mine warm up for a while. When I don't, it shifts hard even in Drive and sometimes acts like it can't make up its mind whether to even shift or not. Lol. When warm, no issues at all, especially now that I've had that TSB SSM...
Yeah, mine was built in Nov 2017. It appears to me that most of these 2018 transmission and engine issues were in cars built, before 2018. I'm guessing that the corrections were implemented in the production line during Dec 2017. There will be exceptions, of course. Some transmissions were...
Yeah, I had the same problem. Mine wouldn't shift past 3rd without some magic handling of the paddle shifters and going back and forth between Drive and Sport. It's a known problem and there's a Ford fix for it called SSM 47361. It involves replacing the entire Front Support Assembly and is...
Congratulations! Even though I have the PMAS, I like the Steeda Closed CAI the best of all of the designs I've seen. If I was buying today, that's what I would purchase. I suspect that when you free up the exhaust side with some catless long tubes and a less restrictive catback, the benefit...
SAE. STD is usually about 2.6% higher. I didn't keep any of the raw numbers. We use the same correction factor and smoothing for all runs to try to stay as consistent as possible.
I do think that there is a symbiotic relationship between more efficient exhaust and more efficient intake. Had...
I was skeptical to the point of absolute cynicism about aftermarket "CAI's", especially for the Gen3 Coyotes with their much improved stock intake system. After headers and E70, I gave the PMAS a try, because I had some discount points to use or lose and I like experimenting. Here were the...
In the ballpark for stock from what I've read and observed. Mine was 394.85rwhp / 382.21rwhtq through the 10r80. Now, 475/408 with the mods in my sig. All 7th gear pulls through 3.55 rear...
When I went to my dealer to inquire about ADM on a GT500, they noticed my '18 Convertible and asked whether or not I was interested in the Convertible version. I'm not sure how knowledgeable my dealer is in this regard though. Still, when a sales person approached me and I asked about the...
In my case, the baseline I used already had the K&N installed, plus I had already smoothed the inside of the stock airbox by removing the carbon fumes filter and grinding away all of the plastic ridges, bosses and casting flash. My baseline did, of course, still have the stock factory tune. I...
No revs videos yet. Just this warm idle video. eBay long tubes, no cats, resonator delete h-pipe and stock mufflers. Sounds as close to my wife's stock '14 GT500 as I've ever heard. Accordingly, the tone is very deep but the growl is a little higher pitched. Zero drone though.
I thought the rwtq numbers weird too. My tuner said that he changed the entire tuning profile for everything after the PMAS installation in order to try to get the torque up earlier and keep it up longer. He said that it affected the peak number, but the overall curve was much more robust...
I understand the confusion. I was a total skeptic too. Of the four mods that I planned (Tune, E70, Headers and Airbox), I chose the PMAS to be last. I was that skeptical. Still, I could afford to experiment, so that's what I did. The PMAS only cost me $267. The first thing that I did to...
Local shop using a DynoJet. So, after adding long tubes, my rwhp went up from 432 to 452. After adding the PMAS airbox, I gained an additional 18 to 470. Tune wasn't a factor as it was already previously tuned for the E70 and long tubes. Of course, adding the PMAS necessitated a tune update...
'18 GT Premium Vert A10. I made 394 stock on 91. E70 PBD tune by Trev got me to 432. Long tubes added 20 more. PMAS got me to 470. Fully broken in motor and a little more fine tuning got me to 475 where I am today. By the way, I bought almost all of my bolt-on's from Lethal and they gave...
I don't recall for certain. I think it was 7th? I know that there have been problems with the 10r80's slipping in 7th on high horsepower forced induction applications. Realistically, I'm guessing any difference would be within an acceptable margin for error anyway. Lol...
Well, my tuner said that the targeted AFR for my combination is 10.7 on E70, which is right about where I'm at. No worries then. Thanks for all of the comments.
Going to a dyno day this Saturday. My last dyno at 2k miles got me 470rwhp at 5530' altitude. I have 12k on her now, so I'm just...
P0430 code. I don't get it any longer. When I was going through the process of finalizing my E70 tune, I would get this code frequently and clear it with my tuning device. Of course, it would reappear, until we eventually got to the final tune adjustment. Now though, my AFR's are extremely...
