There’s a reason the Bullitt and Mach came from Ford with the GT350/87mm TB combo!That’s right, i forgot about the steel flapper rodsI will definitely go and read through your post/write up
Thanks again sir!
Pretty sure isnt exactly dyno data and if your driveability suffers at all its not gonna be worth it for 0.1 sec on the
I’m skipping the 87mm and going straight to the Soler Perf. billet 90mm. I have real life things to work on first. The Soler billet is a masterpiece for sure. Mike has his “A” game.
(Hint: the reason is marketing).
As do i, i had also read that most tuners don’t really want to deal with tuning for them…..but if i’m understanding it correctly, with the pigtails for the 350 IM, that part of the factory tune just basically stays put, and they just work, which if true inwould certainly prefer
No pigtails needed on the Gen2 to GT350, PnP after unwrapping the loom a few inches.As do i, i had also read that most tuners don’t really want to deal with tuning for them…..but if i’m understanding it correctly, with the pigtails for the 350 IM, that part of the factory tune just basically stays put, and they just work, which if true inwould certainly prefer
Same for the 18+ intakes. For tuners, any variable is a possible hang up, a possible glitch on the customer’s car. An extra variable that might cause more lost time. But I’m paying the bill and the active IMRC get more torque in more situations.As do i, i had also read that most tuners don’t really want to deal with tuning for them…..but if i’m understanding it correctly, with the pigtails for the 350 IM, that part of the factory tune just basically stays put, and they just work, which if true inwould certainly prefer
Well the Mach 1 dynos are very strong compared to the 18+ GTs so thats good
Just got through reading the install on FP’s website…..i almost thinking for the $2,200 beans it might just save a ton of legwork to just order the PP3 directly from them as a complete package (instead of piecing everything together). Thier tune should suffice, no? Then maybe upmthe road have Wengerd perhaps fine tune if needed……pro’s and cons on that idea?
I really like the Mach, I couldn’t care less if it’s called a parts bin model.
Some go that route. I still think you’ll want the JDM Evap extension and GT350 brake booster line. The FP tune is solid but can’t be modified so there’s the expense of upgrading down the road.Just got through reading the install on FP’s website…..i almost thinking for the $2,200 beans it might just save a ton of legwork to just order the PP3 directly from them as a complete package (instead of piecing everything together).
