2018+ Tune and Tuner Packs Thread

[bootlegger]

I thought it would be good to have all the options for the 2018 in one thread. Please feel free to post links and details for available 2018 GT engine tunes and tuner packs (Tuner+Tune+CAI etc.). I have been looking around and there isn't much info out there right now. I will update the OP as options are posted up.

Anyone have other options? I can't seem to find numbers from Lund.

I have some results to share. My A10 made 420whp and 401wtq SAE on a dynojet baseline. Then made 454whp and 419wtq on the same dyno with a Lund tune, JLT CAI, and e85. Some things to note about the VMP dyno. Their car was a manual, the dyno sheet was never shown to see if the numbers were STD or SAE and the e85 was not pump fuel. The quality and content of their fuel may have been better. I can also say I have not had a chance to datalog and send info back to Lund yet to see if a revision may be needed and some power is still on the table. Overall I am very happy with the results so far!

MY PERSONAL RESULTS FROM A LUND FLEX TUNE

BASELINE -- 420WHP 401WTQ

LUND FLEX TUNE W/PUMP E85 AND JLT CAI -- 454WHP 419WTQ (No revisions yet)

Thanks! It is still good to have some other numbers and options.

i havent seen any clean packages listed on the sites. i assume you would have to call to order at this point

 

[Lonmon]

Beefcake sells the packages with Lund tuning. There is one for tune only, flash tuner with tune, and flash tuner/tune/CAI. You can choose between SCT BDX and NGauge, and JLT/PMAS etc.

My 2018 GT A10 stock baseline was 418 rwhp and 399 rwtq

My final results with JLT CAI, Palm Beach Dyno flex fuel tune and E85 pump fuel was:

474 rwhp and 424 rwtq all results were SAE corrected. <=== Best run however I was seeing consistent 469 rwhp and 420+ rwtq runs... peak HP was around 6900 - 7000 rpm and peak TQ was around 4600 - 4700 rpm.

My baseline did have the speed limiter removed since I have 3.15:1 gears and was hitting the speed limiter around 5800 rpm.

is there any benefit or draw back to flex fuel tune vs just e85 tune?

 

[robw_39]

The benefit is you can run any combo of 93 and E85 fuel having just an E85 tune I would imagine you can only safely run E85.

I like the convenience of a flex fuel tune sometimes putting E85 in the car isn't an option.

I guess the benefit of just an E85 tune would be possibly a little more power but my flex fuel tune seems to be doing just fine.

that was my thoughts. because like you said with convenience of flex fuel why would you do e85 only. i wonder what the power difference would be

Looks like I need to get some datalogs and send them in for revision. I also had a gallon and a half of 93 in the tank when I did that dyno run. I need to test my pump e85 too, I think we may still be on winter blend. I noticed after my second fill up that the air fuels dropped a bit lower into the 9:1 range at idle and cruise where they were mid 10s during the tank full that I dynoed on. I also have not tried out my e85 only race tune they sent me yet either. Excuses, excuses! LOL :lol:

454 is still pretty strong and I have had more than a few revisions... So I would imagine you can get 10 plus more with some fine tuning.

My ngauge was reading as high as it goes I believe 76.7 I am sure it was E80 plus in the tank which is more than enough for NA.

does bdx have any preloaded tunes that come with it? curious what those results are for a canned tune on completely stock a10

 

[gimmie11s]

Great thread... I have an nGauge left over from my GT500 that I plan on using for my new 18 GT. Lund will be tuning.

I have a BDX and no canned tunes yet. I just had Lund send me one. Well, actually 3. 93 tune, flex tune, and e85 only race tune.
