Wow, this car is impressive. Lund said he is going to release some info today also... I was thinking along the lines this was E-85 for a second.

Not bad for a tune only, especially this early on the game.Can you feel the difference Bill?
I don’t get what this graph is showing.

The run before was stronger than the last run?
Look at the color and time stamps.

The first run is with the tune. The second back to stock

Thanks for the clarification.

This “new” engine is showing great potential!

The low end gains are what is going to be noticed most.

Did the spring install happen yet? Curious on fitment, ride, look and of course the video as always :D
We had an issue with the springs but the video will happen sometime next week.

Hey Bill,

What’s your experience so far with the new 2018 with regard to:

1) any hood flutter as experienced on the 2015-2017’s?
2) (subjective question here) do you like the factory rear spoiler? Does it look better in person than in pics?
3) how’s the view from driver seat compared to 2015-17’s hood view?
I haven't noticed any hood flutter but haven't been over 100 either. I like the spoiler more than I thought I would but still not a huge fan. If you could remove the center section and make it a smaller R style I would like it more.

Not bad for a tune only, especially this early on the game.

Can you feel the difference Bill?
I'll tell you when I have time to actually drive it lol

Ok 444 RWHP. Ummm...500 flywheel HP?

And if that's Bill's car he made even more torque and horsepower than his first dyno run.
We were able to remove the speed limiter and run it all the way to redline with the stock tune which picked up 5rwhp

Wow, this car is impressive. Lund said he is going to release some info today also... I was thinking along the lines this was E-85 for a second.
Lund made some awesome gains with E85 and a JLT!

Great thanks for the update!

I believe you mentioned you would be doing the Ford Performance GT350 springs. Is that due having mag ride ? If so would you recommend those of us with 2018 pp but with out mag ride go that route or use the standard Ford Performance springs that also fit the 15-17 (18) ?

Any magneride cars have to use the GT350 springs since they use several GT350 parts and require the counterwound side specific rear springs, conventional suspension cars can use any 15-17 GT spring options.

So now that you have had the car for a little bit, can you give some detailed impressions of magneride? Is it worth the $5600 upgrade over the GT/Premium? Really torn between just getting GT Premium and by some lowering springs vs getting magneride. I dont race but hear its more for street anyway. I want a good handling car.
