For the person who's already enough less than fully satisfied with base or PP1-level MR tuning to think about upgrading the programming for it . . . isn't there some chance that he might not be fully happy with the PP2 calibration either?
Ridetech is a whole new controller, not a flash. Last I looked, I think the pricing was like $2k.
It’s a nice setup, but I wouldn’t dump that much into it unless I was a regular track junky. For me, running on the track a couple times a year, I don’t think it’s a good investment.
DSC is claiming around $1300 - $1400 for theirs, and it is also a separate controller.
I guess my question becomes "will a Ford-developed PP2-level reflash be good enough"?
My current setup is good enough to play on a track, but things could always be better. $1400 is way more than I want to spend on damper control. If we estimate $300 for ford springs, $100 for stoppers, and $300 for sway kit, that makes the ECU program $269 in the package cost. I think that is completely worth increasing the aggressiveness of the magneride system. I also know little about the Ridetech canned tunes. They may suck compared to a Ford developed sport tune. I think the key benefit to that new controller, is being able to self tune on the fly. I don't spend enough time on the track to do that.
The version for the GT is out. I wonder how it deals with the EB...
Out of curiosity, are these kits just for cars equipped with magneride suspensions?
