It has to do with how the PCM is programmed to control the engine. You’re expecting it to make more torque during conditions where it’s not programmed to make more torque. Your tuner could easily adjust the calibration to give you the feel you’re after if they wanted to.

What's fuel pressure doing when this happens? How are you determining it's lean? Also, have to ask the obligatory question...what has your tuner said about it?

I’d rather put my car in a shipping container on a boat for a few months and then go spend a month on the unrestricted sections of autobahn in Germany. Sorry, but no thanks.

Don’t get me wrong, being able to go out and legally drive 100mph+ for miles and miles is pretty fun. But don’t require me to constantly do one of those “if two trains leave the station at the same time going different speeds…” math questions while I’m doing it so I don’t get DQ’d.

I looked into this years ago and to me it doesn’t sound like a ton of fun, particularly for first-timers. For example: as a first-timer, unless you have extensive documented racing experience or a racing license, you’re generally required to be in the Touring Division. This division has average...

Burble tunes for life. Fight me. This is a forum for one of the most modified cars in America (the world?), the Mustang, and boomers are mad that kids modify it to do something they don't like. Get over it.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but that bumper cut is ripe for a 3D printed trim ring to finish it off. It’d cover up any rough edges and provide a finished, and interesting, appearance. Personally, I’d prototype it out of easy to work with plastic, like PLA, and then have it 3D printed...

I mean, this could probably be printed, and work just fine, from something like PPS-CF or PPA-CF, which can be done on higher-end enthusiast machines. If those materials didn’t work just have it done out of PEEK or Ultem, which most of the online 3D printing services can do. I’d still do metal...

I'm not going to lie, when I suggested that as an option, I suggested it from the position that I have a pretty decent 3D scanner sitting on my desk and I can do the CAD work myself. I have no idea what this would cost to have done. I know what I would charge someone to do it if someone wanted...

Just to show how easily this could be done...I whipped this up in about 25 minutes just guessing dimensions and stuff based on your pics. This could be exported and 3D printed. This single part is big, probably too big for many of the metal 3D printing services. It could either be split into...

Take this for what it’s worth, but I’d 3D scan the engine bay, design exactly what I need in CAD, and just have the whole pipe from that lower silicone coupler to the TB 3D printed out of metal. You can even design in the flange for that coupler at the TB and have it printed right on the pipe.

I’m not going to speak to the specifics of some interesting stuff on Gen 4 that could benefit Gen 3 since I didn’t do the leg work on it, but there are for sure things we can learn from the OEM calibration. It’s up to the tuners to port it to Gen 3 (assuming it works correctly), and I wouldn’t...

Thanks for the mention @HKusp. There are several ways to do flex fuel on boosted cars, but your tuner has to support it. I can’t speak for which tuners will or won’t support which style of flex fuel, but there are two ways to do it: Ford’s OEM logic and PCMTEC’s Custom OS logic. I’ve used both...

Just wait until OP finds out it's going to take longer than 45 minutes to get his money back... I shudder to imagine how he is going to treat the teller at his local bank when the money isn't instantly in his account after Wengerd says the refund has been issued.

One other piece of advice I can offer to people who wish to start tuning these cars is have something specific you want to change. I am not talking about something broad like "I want my car tuned." Ok, got it. But what do you want changed in the tune? Do you want altered shift points? Do you...

I’ve had no experience with that outfit so I have no comment on what they bring to the table. What I know is that I, and many others, have learned more from spending time reading up on some of the basic concepts on other forums, like HPT forums, data logging obsessively, making small changes...

I’ve paid for books from The Tuning School. I know it’s not an in person class, but they were a waste of money. I can’t imagine their in person classes don’t follow the info in their books. It’s just a glorified settings manual. Little to no discussion on how the logic is meant to work, lots of...

You’ve reached the end of my assistance. Haha. Good luck to you. 🤣

For various projects I’ve done where I needed OEM connectors and/or terminals, I’ve google searched the numbers on the connectors and hoped to find it on mouser.com or wherever else. One thing I’ve found with various connectors in these cars is the terminals tend to be off the shelf, like...
