18+ GT Performance Tune Pac

[3rdRGR]

Haven't looked at the rpms much, but it's definitely not sluggish like stock was. Stock even my exhaust sounded like it was struggling. Not anymore. I used to drive mostly in sport plus, but there were times the downshifts as cool as they sound were rough so I dealt with normal. Now sport plus is much smoother, but I'll probably drive in normal most of the time now to save gas.
Even on the highway I didn't feel the sluggishness I did before trying to pass someone in normal.
The tune is mapping better and getting better air fuel ratios for better performance.

Great to know. Thanks!

Just got finished chatting with someone at Ford Performance. Unlike Briebee72 where they told him they couldn't replace just the single piece that broke and sent a whole new elbow, they told me they do have just the one piece. Old one just needs to be cut off and the new one epoxied. So I guess they are sending me the 1 piece.

Supposedly they have new elbow and new pcv hose.

 

[NeedForGreen]

The elbow isn't new. It's the same as they've been using on the 15-17 kits and what the GT350s come with. The only thing I see different is the white valve piece. Instead of being straight it's now 90 degrees. The hose could be different too, but the elbow piece itself hasn't changed.

They have promised to send me new pieces, so will see. I have one of the earliest kits and installed myself.

 

[NeedForGreen]

Yea let us know what they send. I have the newer kit and now have the shop owners gt350 elbow and it's 100% the same. So definitely curious to see what they send you.

I would like to have the white elbow connector. There is a lot of pressure on the connection because of how the hose snaked around. I'm surprised it made it to the public this way.

Chat with Ford Performance. They aren't taking calls just email or chat. Tell them you have the old kit, why that part sucks and I'm sure they'll send you a new one as long as they have it.

The old is straight. I was in the first round and mine is straight. Dont know if we are getting updated ones.

Mine is also straight, one of first kits delivered.

I read the previous posts and I contacted Ford Performance. It was the same email thread I sent them about the missing inlet tube. I asked for a 90 degree fitting. They gave me no problems and said they will send me the 90° fitting and a drivers side PCV hose that fits better. So pretty cool.

Same here, but still waiting.

Just heard they should be sending out later this week.

Those of you that have it installed shouldn't be afraid to use the procal to datalog your car. I've been using it a bit. When I first installed it I was running shell 93 and the logs showed 27° timing advance at WOT pulls. Been a while since I logged and did a few this weekend (now with BP 93). I saw an average of 23.5 to 24 degrees of advance which is quite a difference. I'm going to try shell when this tank runs out. It's fun to see what's actually going on instead of solely relying on a butt dyno.

I only ever use Shell 93 myself so cool to see your feedback.
I saw the data log option. How do you do it?Just connect the pro cal, choose data logging and drive?

 

[NeedForGreen]

Steve over at Ford Performance wrote back again. Said the elbow piece that the white connector attaches to is a factory part.

They called the manufacturer to acquire a hand full of elbows to help those who break them.

Admitted they break easily.

The full elbow piece itself is a $113 part.

Connect it then go to datalogging and then Ganges. Then it brings up several sub categories. You select which options you want and then go back. When you're ready you'll select a file (procal holds 4 separate files) and then click "start datalogging." What I'm not sure on is if hitting 'start" overwrites the existing log or starts recording at the end. When you're done click "stop recording."


Next time you hook it up to your computer you'll want to click "manage" in the log drop down menu. Then you select the log and hit "graph." This part is miles better after the firmware update. It'll still be hard to see the exact numbers so what I do is I choose to save the log and open it in notepad. It's a bit messy but you'll be able to see the exact values and at what rpm it was recorded.


Do note that gas in different areas is different, and I wasn't in anywhere close to identical circumstances. However, I did read that shell v-power is labeled as 99 ron and bp is 97 ron. Both fall into the range of our rated 93 octane. If that's true then shell is indeed better for performance.
