Ford Performance Stage 1 Power Pack On Our 2015 GT!

[MrWolf]

Does EU have a different header configuration, or was that only for RHD cars?

Just RHD cars.

Still awaiting Ford UK to make the decision on when/if we will see any of those kits here in the UK. They are being very secretive and just don't want to commit to anything.

Very annoying:frusty:

Low rpm torque feels good but it's not fast. Not sure why anyone would lug their motor at 1500rpm anyway.

Stoplights, stop signs, slow traffic... pretty much any time you start moving on the street.

What's the torque delta at 5250? That seems significant as well...

I actually think it looks good. It's where you want the gains - mid through the top. Low rpm torque feels good but it's not fast. Not sure why anyone would lug their motor at 1500rpm anyway.

Now, if it added torque in the 2k to 4k range then sure, that's useful. But this tune looks like it'll make the car be and feel faster when you really lay into it. Good stuff.

80% of my driving occurs below 2000rpm, albeit at partial throttle, so the gains would be more or less inconsequential :shrug:

Just buy a high flow K&N air filter and pump 91+ Octane fuel in your car. You are getting most of your power from those 2 alone, the 'tuner" only seem to tune the transmission, not engine.

If you're just cruising and not trying to really "move out" then yes, mostly (not completely) useless. Nice to have? Sure.

I'm just saying that I find it amusing that Ford would tout the low rpm torque rather than the much more useful midrange gains.

Just looking at the profiles on the left, there aren't many Mustangs posting in this thread that have a transmission that can be changed by a tune...:lol:

Plus (pun intended), who buys a GT and runs 87 Octane?

stage 1 doesnt seem that bad honestly for $300

Where can I get this for $300???

I am also interested in seeing the torque gain at 1500rpm. Everyday driving involves frequent pulling from this rev at low gears.

It doesn't exist.

You can't. Cheapest I've been able to find is $400 shipped. Even the group buy was like $380.

I do. I have tried both 87 and 93 and don't notice a diff. Car has the stock tune. Runs very strong i will say that. I only drive 4 miles to work and only put about 55 miles a week on it in all stop and go. I get on it plenty, but never have a chance in any open traffic free highways to really let loose. Once i get it tuned for 93 i am sure i will notice a diff.

Hey guys!

I just got in touch with Ford Performance. The numbers that are claimed are Flywheel numbers from FRPP due to accuracy.

Once again, if you guys have any other questions feel free to ask away!

Okay, one very serious question: does this tune really give you an extra 40 ft lb at 1,500 rpm, which is the most important claim and the best reason I'd have for buying it?

I'm in 6th gear between 1,000 and 1,500 rpm a lot while commuting — unfortunately you didn't start your pull until 2,000 rpm.
:shrug:

Stoplights, stop signs, slow traffic... pretty much any time you start moving on the street.

Regular GTs don't lug at 1,000-1,500 rpm on level ground in 6th like GTPPs do... different gearing.

I'm not saying you can do anything but accelerate slowly at that speed (1,000 rpm is about 40 mph in 6th), but my car's definitely not unhappy about cruising along at that speed/rpm.
