Alternatives to flash tuning

[suprmario96]

Hi guys, I'm new to owning a Mustang but feel I'm pretty versed in engine theory. I used to have a 400hp turbo 4-cyl sentra with just a street tune. Reason for the post is I see Lund, and SCT/BAMA everywhere by way of remote tuning and flashing the computer.

Short of a full stand-alone system, is there anything else available for our cars? Maybe something of a piggy-back style or sensor interception/signal correction we can use instead? My reasons for asking is I'd like to be able to tune myself as I am used to doing. Not sure if it's not something thats done with Ford or not but it'd be nice to have this flexibility.

I used to use a zeitronix datalogger and then adjust fuel maps with an safcII. Even something like the JB4 for bmw's or is it that the ford PCM doesn't allow for this type of interaction?

any expert opinions you can offer would be great, thanks

The only software setups that I'm aware of that will allow you to have full access for custom tuning would be the pro racer software from SCT or the HP tuners dealer software. You would also need a device from them as that's what will data log the car and allow you to flash the PCM.

If you have any other questions or would like to purchase the software/device please let me know.

Thanks,
Jared

only thing really would be things like the jms pedal max to improve throttle response.

no piggy backs out there right now

I'm VERY familiar with the N54/55 platform and also had several different variations of the JB4.

I've said this for years. The day someone creates something like a JB4 tuning device/ BT module for the S197/S550, they could basically consider themselves a millionaire. The demand would almost be impossible to fulfill.

EFI live, HP tuner

Efi live doesn't support the s550. The hp tuners vcm suite is promising and more in line with what I'm looking for. Only thing left would be if it didn't have to flash the ecu but if I have to deal with that I will. Hp tuners it is, thanks for the recommendation, not too much price difference either.
