Double Race Red Journal

"Double Race Red Journal"
​

The search for my wife's new car began in early 2016. She test drove many makes and models over a period of weeks trying to make her decision. After a visit to Bill Knight Ford of Tulsa she found the one she wanted on the showroom floor.

It is a 2016 Mustang GT Premium with the following options:
- Equipment Group 401A
- 6 Speed Auto
- All-Weather Floor Mats
- 3.55 Ratio Limited Slip Axle
- 19 Dark Stainless Alum Wheel
- Spare Tire
- Reverse Park Assist
- Voice-Act Navigation System

After a few months passed it was my turn. I liked my wife's Mustang so much that I decided to buy one just like it.

I enjoy this forum and sharing information with fellow Mustang enthusiasts. My wife and I are having a lot of fun with these cars and we’ll be adding more posts and pics, documenting a small part of our journey. Maybe there’s something in our list that will help you out.

Links have been added to some of the parts so it’s easier to locate.

- Purchased a take off set of OEM catbacks from a local seller, an h-pipe from CJ Pony Parts, and then put the system on the car. The sound was great with the factory mufflers but the clamps eventually developed leaks around the h-pipe joint. I put my original exhaust system back on the car. The next time I use the the h-pipe set-up will be after it is welded instead of clamped.

Received the @Livernois Motorsports 5.0 tuner today. In addition, the tuning software along with five tunes arrived in my email. The stock tune, two version 10 (91 octane) and two version 10 (93 octane) tunes. The process is simple to update the MyCalibrator tuning device and download the tune to the car.

I am going to try all four of the performance tunes in the upcoming days to see which I like the best. In the short time I have had the tune loaded the difference is fantastic! Livernois also has the option of a flex fuel tune that I may try at a later date.

Can't say enough good things about Livernois, their customer service, and the supplied tuning.

Livernois Motorsport MyCal Tuner Review
​

A stock plus tuned vs stock comparison.

Both cars have about 3,200 miles with no performance modifications.

The first tune I installed was the 91 performance version 10. It was a "wow" factor over the stock tune. I didn't realize Ford left that much horsepower on the table with the stock tune. Each tune installed thereafter was meaner and more aggressive than the previous, (91, 91 sport, 93, and 93 sport).

93 octane fuel is a rare find in our area and non-existant in the small towns we go through on our road trips. I am running the 91 performance version 10 w / sport pedal / throttle feel in all driving modes.

My observations
- tuner is easy to use then just put it away
- no extra gauge to mount nor watch
- tune applies to all factory driving modes
- no install codes, lights or errors
- no ping or knock
- firmer transmission shifts
- throttle lag and hesitation are improved, and an even more enhanced throttle response in the sport pedal tunes
- more torque and horsepower
- the car pulls hard throughout the RPM range

We are having a friendly competition with our cars and enjoying every minute of it. My car is now much faster than hers. If she decides to purchase the @Livernois Motorsports MyCal Tuner I will have no choice but to request the flex fuel tune, purchase the rest of the 5.0 Mustang GT Windstorm Bundle, and then tires and more tires.

Does this come with all 4 tunes or do you need to purchase them separately? Do they do data logging? Thanks

The tuner came with the four tunes I mentioned plus the stock tune. I can also request the flex fuel tune at no additional charge. Livernois will also change your tune for any performance upgrade you add to your car.

As far as data logging goes this thread may answer your questions.
