Yeah but one issue with the Roush for people who want to install at home, it does not come with a tuner and you have to get a dealer to flash it and you do not have your stock tune stored with you.
I didn't think about having the stock tune but I thought with a VCM 2 you could store your stock tune ?
Gains are later vs the FP pack per Roush Graph, can use this as a reference even its PAC 2, only difference in PAC 2 is the axle back is thrown in, but same tune as PAC 1
I wonder if you could use a roush box over the Ford performance with it. I have one now, but it's not tuned, but the option to tune is there just by removing a piece in the tube.
I guess if you spend all the money on the package to get the tune and omit the airbox perhaps?
Can any Ford dealer install this kit or only certain ones? I live in Charlotte, NC and am thinking Tindol Ford who is a Roush dealer may be able to. Thanks in advance.
A Roush Ford Dealer will most likely be able to install it properly and also have some upgrade installation experience vs some small Mom and Pop Ford dealer.
Any Ford dealer can do it, will they or will the techs know how to is another story.
The flex / e85 tune by itself if running on e would be double or more the increase you would get from the kit. The kit is more for warranty minded people than those wanting better performance.
Not everyone has easy access to E85. Nearest to me is a 60 mile round trip. Not gonna happen anytime soon due to that. Not saying I'll use this kit or any other but it gets tiring hearing the non-stop "E85, E85, E85, E85 everything else is a waste of your money". It's their money the can spend it anywhere they like, can't they??
Totally understand. Was just replying to a post where someone was debating between the two options. In their case e was available and thus a no brainer.
I think the car is shifting a bit early from its 7400rpm reline unless they up'd the ante on the top Thanks!
Not sure if this is what you are asking but. I think it has made my shifting much more livable and smoother. I have not tested performance but my butt dyno, in my case anyway, is disappointed in this kit. I honestly dont feel much of anything. I could go and test but honestly do i want number son paper to tell me something is better or do I want to feel it. I am in the minority it seems but I wish I could get my money back for this kit. The boost to performance is minimal and for me not worth the cost. as far as the smoothness of the car I think it really smoothed it out and made it a better driving car as far as the trans goes. as for performance or power...eh there is not much it added.Just checking in on peeps that installed this already and noticed or clocked any performance gains.... 0 - 60 &or 1/4? What about the
- Automatic calibrations feature optimized performance shift schedule...
... does this alter your stock shifting schedule for better or worse ?
end to take advantage of it... ? I was getting 4.6 on track apps launching ~2000rpms... but reached 4.4 using the paddle shifter at the right moment to obtain a higher rpm shift without hitting redline... but you have to be precise with this and that might be easy in a controlled testing situation, but not easy under the gun
