Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Cobrakit]

I had a little bit of a hard time attaching vacuum hoses and TB tube, but not impossible. WRT IATs, its 55deg today and IAT was only <5deg higher. Could be worse when outdoor temps get higher. Again based on Butt dyno, car has more ompf down low. I have a PP1, A10, prem and normally run Track Mode. It was bad before, but now when you hit the go pedal, you better have clear road ahead and hold on. Not sure about 6/7 shift since that speed requires nice secluded road.

On my way home, an opportunity came up to give it a little gas. The 6/7 shift went to redline. Could only get about 3/4 throttle though because of double digit speed.

Blue is baseline dyno run. Red is after kit install and tune. I was pleased with the baseline dyno numbers but very very very underwhelmed with post kit and tune install numbers. Am I reading this graph wrong? lol.

Wow! That is actually kind of sad to see. I'm sorry about that.

My temps are 5 over ambient with the new set up.

Any new feedback on the kit after getting everything resolved?

My IATs with the upgraded CAI are actually good as well. Either same or better than stock. I was driving yesterday in ~98° weather (San Antonio) my temps were about 104° driving and about 108-110° at idle. This is about same as stock if I remember correctly last summer. But I also remember stock reaching about 114° at idle during summer.. so pretty comparable even though the CAI is open. It must have a pretty good seal under the hood and yes I have a minor gap on drivers side front hood. When I didnt recieve the air inlet part for the CAI I drove without it, and AIT hit up to 140° at idle during cooler weather at night. I posted about that before. So the upgraded CAI is doing a pretty good job with temps.

Briebee72,

Glad yours fit, but mine did not, not even close, the pieces were glued on at the wrong angle, nearly 20 degrees off (I keep repeating what I posted previously).

So let's agree we're both happy, and leave it at that.

Feedback like this is why I would like to try and adapt the box for this kit to a larger intake like the JLT.

I agree too, it kinda gives off the perception of a dyno after adding a CAI without a tune..?

Doubt most intakes would see even that much of an increase without a tune, at least on an 18+ due to OEM box flowing pretty efficiently.

It was in response to the person who got a dyno and only net 5+ hp

Right exactly what I was referring to.

Well been watching this post its very intresting.After watching this post im going to go with a tune from lund,vmp,or pbd.Im just not that good with computers to get email tunes,and files for data logging,and etc.lol,.Im guessing im going to have to learn,lol.I think the stock air box is the way to go with a good replacement filter and a 93 tune.

If you have it available in your area highly recommend you look into one of their e / flex tunes as you will at least double the performance of a standard 93 tune. If not available then standard 93 still not a bad option.

After driving the car now for a day I can definitely say that this kit is worth the money. Before the upgrade, Third gear wide-open throttle runs from about 3000 RPM were a bit underwhelming. After the upgrade though, third gear at 3000 RPM has significantly more torque. I don’t remember where I read this, but someone compare normal mode being like sport, sport mode being enhanced and track mode being one step above that and I would agree. For someone who is looking to keep their warranty with a modest power increase, this kit is for you.

My impression is much like Briebee72. Maybe just a small tad better around 2K, and just a small tad on top. That's tad in small font.

What did work for me is the better shifting in "D", and I have definitely noticed better throttle response in "D" as well. For what it costs, I would not buy it again.

For a non drive mode car maybe the trans tuning can help that. No clue what the cost is but at that point maybe the sync3 update to get the drive modes is a better deal?
