Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[EFI]

A bullitt owner purchased a gt500 airbox and used that. Could be worth looking into.

You just need the lid from the GT500 which is like 50 bux.

Hi you have a link to that? Curious now

Take this part off (it unbolts) and just keep the bottom. Then bolt the GT500 lid in place:

What is the purpose of the open airbox? Seems like a foolish design...

When moving you'd not going to see a huge temp difference in air temps vs closed. It's when sitting idle you'll see temps rise faster and higher with an open box. But the GT350/FP/Bullitt airbox seals with the hood liner. I'd have to look but I think it also lets it pull in colder air from the hood vent as well.

I remember a similar thread on the GT350 section, and in the end, no one really cared or saw much reason to change it any as other intake options didn't offer much of a change in IAT's.

I just looked, can't see much air being pulled from that vent. Just seems silly to me, I don't need to see the filter and can't believe there is any performance advantage. Is retaining the stock box an option? I'm thinking about purchasing...

Stock box and e85 tune (if available in your area) double the power and costs less.

Nearest E85 station is an hour drive one way and the next one is a lot further than that.

What if the nearest e85 gas station is in another country? Seriously, not a single station anywhere. What options does one have other than this FP tune?

You have alot of options for 93 tuning, just that this tune is the only one that you won't have any issues with the existing warranty and (as of right now) is one of very few that are CARB legal.

Ah then ya not a viable option.

Not too concerned with CARB as I am in Canada and they have done away with yearly emissions testing. I have heard good things about ngauge but that hardware is now going extinct. I have no other knowledge of who or how to obtain a tune. I want the rev hang to go bye-bye, the throttle response to be snappy, and some more low end torque. This kit does all that but I'm not to thrilled with these higher intake temperatures that the CAI adds.

There is a post somewhere in one of these threads by someone that adapted their stock air box to this kit. It's possible

I will have a look for it. In the meantime, if there are similar gains to be had with 93 octane and a 3rd party tune I'm all ears.

Stock temps when driving are pretty good compared to ambient temp. Its only at idle when they jump a bunch. As a matter of fact I think while driving the AITs are just like the stock air box. Cant rememebr but that was in this thread months ago. I know, it's a long thread lol...
