Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Helios]

Facts. But pros far outweigh cons imo. A10 on e is a beast, though totally understand those that like rowing gears for the enjoyment, or for those where e simply isn't available.

Coming from a dual clutch i see the negative of the 10r80. If only it had been tuned from factory to downshift to the lowest gear instantly holding the left paddle shifter pressed, its really hard to place yourself in a roll race and have direct power. You can use the paddles but in like 3 seconds it goes back to drive.

Kickdown is also very present. When your used to downshifting gear and not feel any hit on the drivetrain its hard to go back to a converter auto.

A BMW DCT or Porsche PDK is in another league than the 10R80 for track use. Don't get me wrong the 10R80 is awesome in a straight line, I just find the DCT or PDK much more intuitive and reacts to the track much better.

Wonder if Ford does revisions and updates on these calibrations, do they notify or post something online so you can reflash tune if needed? I know Roush does it over time, but dealer usually only gets the info.

That's my video actually lol. Yeah that dyno run was right after install. I wonder if I dynoed it now maybe I would have higher numbers now that the car had time to learn the fuel octane?

I've seen dynos of other intake set ups (different cars, mostly just researching different approaches to intake design) and it seemed common to not see any real difference until a few pulls were made.

I love the kit, but I won't deny that the 40 ft-lbs of torque at 2k needs some golden conditions to hit (good gas and some nice cold, dense air).



I've noticed some worse IATs over time. I went around and made sure every seam in the molding is covered but I have a feeling it's the seal on top that's starting to give way. I'll either try to pad it with some pipe foam, which might fit quite nicely over it, or just lower the hood a smidge.

Does this kit have a carb sticker somewhere in the box or on the CAI?

Just curious on how to show at smog stations that it is Carb legal?

The kit comes with some stickers that have the carb compliant numbers on it. I threw those in the trash lol. Do they actually ask you about every aftermarket part to provide proof?

You could put it in manual mode and select the gear you want. After you wot push the shifter into D. Let the transmission shift for you.

The kit comes with a sticker. I just stuck mine on the tube going from the intake to the throttle body. Looks clean.

Yeah especially if they check engine bay, open CAI are easy to spot usually as aftermarket and most are not carb EO

Lordy lordy, I got it made and didn't even know it.

Some creativity can get you a long way as well. My old Mustang wouldn't pass an emissions test so I played hot potato with the title and registered it to a PO box in a town that doesn't require any emissions testing. Of course the DMV wouldn't have approved, but a currency exchange couldn't care less. Never had a problem with it.

When I sold my E92 M3 I had a CAI from AFE, it was CARB approved and I lost the sticker. I had to request one from AFE and they sent it to me.
