I'm moving from AZ to the Little Rock area, and need recommendations for a shop to do the E-85 conversion. I want a place that can install the parts, and then dyno tune it. For reference, it's a 2015 Mustang GT 6R80 with a Gen 5 Whipple - I currently have 91 octane/10psi and 108 octane/15psi...

A photographer took this at a private track rental I ran.

When I run the online calculators with total weight and trap speed, it gives me 825HP at the wheels, so it seems to be in line. I believe the rule of thumb is 15psi doubles the HP, so that's in line as well. Different configurations, transmissions, tuners, DA, etc., produce different results...

Vegas definitely isn't the fastest track around as the elevation is 2,000ft - I don't recall what the DA was, but it wasn't ideal. Additionally, my tunes aren't super aggressive as I'm more concerned with longevity rather than shaving off a couple of tenths. I'm not sure what mph you expect...

See signature for setup. It's gone a best of 9.92 at 139mph in Vegas on the 15psi/Lund/108 Octane tune, and a best of 10.51 at 132mph in Vegas the previous year on the 10psi/Lund/91 Octane tune. I think there's more in it if I could get some decent air, and a tune that didn't shift too early.

I was running the pump gas tune when I went through the converter changes, so it was a little different. I remember the 60ft went from 1.43 to 1.45, and I lost about a tenth and some mph on the big end when I put the 252mm converter in. That was in Vegas a year ago at the SCSN, and the car was...

I have a Whipple and a Circle D - The car originally had a 245mm 4C when it was NA and I liked it a lot, but you could definitely tell it had a loose converter in it. Once I put the Whipple on and got it out to the track, I sent Circle D the data logs and they convinced me the car needed a...

I just went through this with mine - It started out of the blue, and got worse by the day. I took the car in and it was a bad hub in the rear that had allowed enough play to damage the ABS sensor. I had both hubs replaced (and the damaged ABS sensor) while it was there, and the problem is...

Ford20: On the Lund tune at the dragstrip, the car would fall flat on it's face on the 1-2 shift, and data logs showed it was flaring to 8,200rpms. When I requested Lund fix the tune they viewed the data logs and told me my transmission was bad and needed to be replaced - In my mind (and my...

To answer your question BassPro, it was a completely different transmission. My original trans stayed in AZ (sold it local for what the core charge was) and I ordered a whole new trans from PBH. I wanted to post up an honest review on their website or FB page, but apparently that's not an...

Check my sig for combo.

I purchased a Lund nGauge back when my car was naturally aspirated, and then purchased custom tunes and support when we added the Whipple. They did a 91 octane tune, a race gas tune and fuel drain tune. First time at the track it was obvious something wasn't right as the car would fall on it's...

The 'flaring' is likely a Lund issue. I have the Whipple Gen 5 stage 2 and Lund did 2 tunes for it - 91 Octane/10psi and 108 Octane/15psi. The 1-2 flared really bad, falling on its face during the shift because it was spiking to ~8,300rpms, on both tunes. The data logs make it pretty easy to...

Check my signature.

I live here in AZ as well and run a Lund 91 Octane tune with the same blower. No issues so far (installed the Whipple in November). I run the standard 3.875" pulley on on pump gas, and I've had it to the track multiple times on that tune and it makes great power.

Not really. Lund lowered the 1-2 shift command to 5,000rpms (despite the fact I told them something in the 6,000rpm range was what I wanted), and now it shifts at 6,600rpms. They made another change and it still shifts at 6,600rpms. I sent them that data log and I now have rev 9 of the tune...

I run a Circle D 245mm converter that stalls at about 4,000rpms (I think it's a 5C). When the car was naturally aspirated it would 60ft in the 1.8x range, and after the converter was installed it went down to 1.6x. With the Whipple it's now down in the 1.45-1.49 range.

I've got to say, I'm hugely disappointed with Lund - Even though the brand new PBH trans and brand new Circle D converter do EXACYLY the same thing on the 1-2 shift as it did with the OEM trans and 1 year old Circle D converter, they still want to blame the transmission. I can't fathom how they...

Nope, it dead hooks and doesn't spin anywhere in the run. I don't pull the fuse, and instead hold the traction control switch for 5 seconds until the disable light comes on. The tune asks for it to shift at 7,500rpm, and the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts are great.

My setup is in my signature. After the Whipple install I went to the track and on the 1-2 shift the car falls on its face hard and flares to 8,200rpms. Lund told me the clutches in the trans were bad, so I just had a new PBH (rated to 1,000HP) trans installed, and a different Circle D...
