I have a 2015 Mustang Gt Premium.

Having a hard time figuring out what tuning device and tuner I want to go with. Looking for a flex fuel tune or an e54 + e85 tune. (Would be nice to also have a 91 tune)

Could anyone give recommendations for what tuning device they used and what tuner they chose? (A link to tuning device and tuner would also be greatly appreciated)

I know Palm Beach Dyno and Lund are popular but I donā€™t know where to look to find the tuning device I should use for them.

Thanks for anyoneā€™s response! It means a lot to get feedback from others.
Like you said, both Lund and Palm Beach Dyno are both very popular in the tuning world and both the ones i highly recommend. Iā€™ve ran both myself and had great results with each of them. Currently Lund uses their RTD tuning device while PBD uses their uCal, SCT, and the RTD. Iā€™ll post some links below for some added information but in my opinion there is no wrong answer between the two and itā€™s more of personal preference. Let us know if we can help with anything. ā˜

Unleashed Tuning for device, 91/93 tune. I'm not sure about E85. For that I would turn to Steeda/James. Neither of them believe in hijacking your ECU to protect their precious 'intellectual property'.
James doesn't believe in doing Flex tunes. He prefers to tune for 93 or eXX. Had a convo with him about Facebook about it, He doesn't feel that with how many variable that change between the fuels that you're able to really properly dial in a flex tune as good as you can just having 2 tunes that you swap between.

How much does his tunes cost? The reason I was looking for flex fuel is because I live in AZ and only have 1 e54 place by my work and then 1 e85 place a few miles from my house. Wanted a flex tune so I could switch back and forth. Could get an e54 and e85 tune ig.

I've heard it described as there is no point going past E30 unless it's all the way to E85. What's so hard about just filling up at the one near the house? It's not like you don't have a malfunctioning gas gauge.

Just because I donā€™t go near there very much and itā€™s like 8 miles away so it would take me like 40 min just to go get gas and back, and I thought that e85 would give a significant bump in power over e54

Lund Racing or Palm Beach Dyno are your way to go. Palm Beach Dyno uses the UCAL device and Lund Racing uses a RTD device. Both are great tuners it all comes down to personal preference. You can't go wrong with either. We sell them both along with the tuning here from www.lethalperformance.com

E85 over E54 is not going to give you a significant bump in power on a gen 2 NA car.

Yup Shaun at AED is amazing on this platform. Performance and service is great. Flex runs strong. OP e54 still gonna be far better than 91/93. E85 even better but running the flex you can run either or a mix.

Cant comment on your gen 2 op but on the gen 3 the bump from pump to e54 is solid and the jump from e54 to e85 is crazy. Enough so I always made it a point to gas up by work to keep my e85r loaded as much as possible.

They use SCT so BDX would work. You can also get your device from them when you get your tune if they have them in stock.
