convince me lol

[danny0441]

soooo ive been throwing the idea of tunning my a6 with 3.55 gears for a very long time. i always tell myself the car is fast enough, i wont be able to really enjoy it, and i need my warranty blah blah the same shit excuse alot of us untuned guys give. i figured id have some fun with it and ask you guys to convince me. feel free to post videos, talk crap etc. please convince me to tune this car. my main concern is reliability car has 20k miles already so im sure this engine is free from any defects. again just figured id turn a hard decision for alot of us into a possibly fun and less stressful decision.

thanks :cheers:

Find someone in Miami who has a tune and take a ride with them. I am sure there are Miami S550 Facebook groups.

Just do it... how many coyote engines do you hear about self destructing?

the car will feel like a completely different animal after a tune.

i have one question for you...(not including selling or warranty work, or crappy tunes)...have you heard of one single person voluntarily returning to the stock tune because they thought the stock tune was better? the answer is no...TUNE IT!

I searched really, really hard to find a couple examples of blown 5.0's, other than very early tunes from Bama and a few others blowing cyl #8 back in 2011 there hasn't been any that i found in my (admittedly not super thorough) searching that weren't FI of some kind. Pretty much any tune today from reputable tuners will be safe. If it makes you feel better (i did it for a few days after getting AED tuned) you can have your tuning device monitor certain things in the ECU to make sure everything's going ok. My tune drives as smooth, or smoother, than stock. Idles better, gets better MPG, AND absolutely rips. It's great. It'll really wake your car up and make it much more responsive.

Tune it and don't look back. You'll be glad you did!

 

[Chris@Lethal]

Lund Racings custom tune will wake that car up! By far the best performance gains for the price that you cannot regret!

If you're concerned about the warranty I'd get the Ford Performance Packs. There's at least two members here who got them on their automatics and found the performance to be very much improved, especially with the transmission programming.
Most of the vendors here will advocate a custom tune with other go-fast parts, however they're out to make a buck and will naturally try to persuade you to buy their products. With 20,000 miles on your car you could get the Ford packs and still have a Ford backed warranty for another 10,000 worry free miles.

Having owned a turbo car in the past where 40 HP and 80+ ft-lbs of TQ are a tune away, I've never owned an NA car that responded so well to a tune. Granted, it's not that much but in the range of 30-40 I think.

We offer pretty substantial tunes for your Mustang. On top of the power gains the trans-remapping on the autos does wonders for drivability. Looking for more info, feel free to shoot us a PM or give us a call!

Logged my wife's stock tune yesterday (her car has straight through mufflers and x pipe only) and compared to my car that's self tuned on E-85 with headers straight through mufflers and PMAS and it's amazing the difference in engine brake torque on my data log vs hers. Fords software is amazingly accurate as long as you are adjusting for weather.
I did second gear pulls with both cars starting at low rpm (20mph) and ending at redline in her car at 62mph and mine at 7200 which is 73mph.

Her car logged 397 ft/lbs max at 4650 RPMs and 434 hp at 6500 RPMs using torque and converting to hp (simple equation). At 6800 RPMs right before stock tune hits soft limiter it was down to 418hp so loss of 16hp after peak over 300 RPMs.

My car using the same weather correction factor (+2.5%) logged 446ft/lbs peak torque at 5100 RPMs (440 ft/lbs at 4500 RPMs) and 496 hp at 6500 RPMs and only lost 11hp by 7100 RPMs so not bad.

The 20-60mph 2nd gear pull on her car that I pulled the torque data on was a full second slower than my car and she's got better gears (3.55 vs my 3.31s) and almost an inch smaller tires. My car goes from 20-70 mph in 2nd in the same amount of time hers goes from 20-60 mph in 2nd.
Even down low at 2300-2700RPMs mine was showing 40-50 ft/lbs more torque which is great. I'm going to compare against the CJ manifold except my pull stops at 7200 which is where the stock manifold is absolutely done power wise.

Im on the same boat. I really want a tune after returning my FORD PP2.
I see a lot of members say its a night and day difference but some dynos dont show that much difference? Im not talking about stock vs full bolt ons and tuned. But stock to stock + tune. Will i really feel that much difference?
