18+ GT Performance Tune Pac

[Rpinaiii]

^^^ Lol that was my first question if the blue filter came with it. Looks good. Yes I agree its not a holy sh$$ tune but just enough for a couple of smiles per gallon while driving each time. The tune makes you want to drive more. Especially for 6sp manual. I also installed 4.09 rear gears recently and seriosuly its freakin awesome now. I was thinking why it doesnt it come from factory like this but EPA mileage etc.. its expensive for rear gear installation if you find someone that would do it, parts labor $1650 depending on location but totally worth it. Have fun!

Thought I'd give another update. Took my car on another trip on the weekend. I noticed some hesitation again in normal mode and in sport plus the downshifts started to want to send me into my windshield. Having been through this before I knew resetting the KAM would fix it. I know it takes a few weeks for the tune to adjust, but for me I felt the adaptive part was going in the wrong direction.
I like how we can easily reset it with the Procal without having to disconnect the battery.
I reset the adaptive Kam and my car is snappy again.
If any of you get this tune and feel the shifts arent what you expected or your car doesn't seem to be any faster from stock reset the kam. The instructions say you shouldnt have to reset it, but honestly its a good idea to do it after a tune anyways.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on this kit, but was wondering if the issue described above is recurring or more of a one-off. It seems like you shouldn't need to continuously need to reset the KAM after installation.

I daily drive my Mustang and want something reliable (part of the appeal of the more mild FP tune/kit).

It was a one off thing. I was told by a local shop resetting the kam after a tune is a good idea regardless. I haven't had to do it again and the cars running great.

I never did and mine runs great.

Most probably don't need to do it, but I was told a fresh kam reset after a tune helps the car learn it faster. You're also ensuring your getting the most out of the tune. Some people reset the kam weekly that go to race tracks. If the cars running good with smooth shifts and you're getting the extra power from the tune no reason to do it. Your car will adjust to the tune after so many miles anyways.
If you're getting weird shifts or the tune doesn't seem to be as powerful that's when a kam reset might help.

As far as cost, I believe it'll be around $500 by a dealer.

FWIW I am being charged 2 hrs @ 130/hr by a local Ford dealer to install.

The dealer I bought the car from quoted me 5-6 hours, but they didn't know anything about it and did not seem very interested in doing it.

Find another place with an ASE mechanic to install.

I'm very happy with $260 to install this and keep my warranty! Seems like a pretty good price based on what people said in this thread.

I am being charged a more reasonable price by a local ASE certified non-dealer mechanic. In fact my car is right now in the shop for the install.

Shall update when its done.

I misunderstood I thought they were charging for 5 hrs. Galpin charged me $350.

Yeah that was the original dealer I bought the car from, great dealer, just not so interested in doing this job.

Hi guys. Does anyone know if you can buy the new hose separately and if so, is there a part #? I just bought a used gt350 intake from a member here and I have the same issue. Thank you.

Is it normal for the fasteners on the air intake assembly to be misaligned?
