2016 GT Rookie Tuning Questions

[Mitchelljd]

Hey Guys,

I've got a 2016 Manual Mustang GT, looking at getting a Lund Ngauge tune but wanting to sort out all the mods before hand.

Currently i only have a cat-back exhaust, I've heard conflicting things regarding the gains out of CAI - Is it worth it?

Additionally for the 2015-2018+ I've heard some people say you can run E85 on stock injectors but some say you should upgrade? Is it worth the E85 Flex tune?

How much extra power would you expect to make on a higher octane, Cat-back , CAI? (stock headers)? Is it a noticeable power difference?

Cheers,
Mitch.

18+ stock injectors are fine for e 15-17 I would still upgrade. Some tuners won't even tune e without on those years. Tuning for e is absolutely worth it. On 18+ e tune alone with no mods is about 40whp. Less on 15-17 but still strong. 15-17 cai not that great consider upgrading to an OEM 18 mani and cai. Proven power and keeps iats down plus maintains smooth maf if running flex. You should absolutely consider long tubes as well. Tune for mods in one go. But Lund offers revisions first few months even if you phase your mods.
