They're usually ford Approved for most ford's, and will give you warranty etc with it all, however, they DONT HAVE warranty for the Mustangs, and ford refused to give them it (I've got it in writing), as Ford I assume are planning to bring the FRPP for the EB over at some stage (Slow as fk [MENTION=18365]Andy Barratt[/MENTION] speed it up!).

When tuning, are you looking at getting the most power... or just tuning for the sake of tuning? Mountunes tune is safe, on the EB engine block/Cyl 3 pressure etc. Not heard of any issues with it, but it's a very conservative tune.

thanks Manders.
i am looking to get more power as i have a couple mods on the car i.e. roush cold air intake kit and steeda throttle and manifold spacer, just would like a little more umphhhhh :)
i see that the performance ford in the US have the warranty based kits but like you said not in the UK, and there is no info on arrival here on our shores :(

Well, to address a few of those mods:
1) Roush CAI, Wont give you more power than a properly modded stock box (loses about 3bhp vs a proper stock box as it chokes the turbo) - General 'best in slot' is the AIr raid intake tube, stock box, high flow filter (AFE or K&N), and a velossa tech can help
2) Throttle Body Spacer - Totally useless unless you have a Meth kit, literally does nothing


Anyway, most tunes will flatten out the 'curve' I'd recommend Tune + and just getting a 'few' other bits to sort the power out can get near 400 to the crank (350 ish to the wheels), with the right mods on the EB
Right being... High flow filter, Air raid intake tube, Intercooler (Talking SpeedFactory, ETC or levels, none available in the UK Buy have spoken to [MENTION=19416]Guy@NemesisUK[/MENTION] to try and get these here), Tune + Denso spark plugs, and then obviously a pro tune.

Difference between 'canned tunes' (Dreamscience, Mountune, FP) are that they're not specific to any car, they just have 1 tune fits all cars, which isn't really what you want if you've already done performance mods to the engine. Protune, such as Adam tuned (TUNE+ who's widely renowned as the 'god' for the EB engines) will tune to each specific mod, ambient air temps, Air Fuel ratio's etc, which is all different depending on location, which is why Protunes are usually 'better' for your engine. Some pro tuners, Purple Dank, etc etc in the USA will go 'above and beyond' for max power, making the engines totally UNSAFE and highly susceptible to blowup, Adam's the only tuner I've heard of that knows the car inside out to a point where he knows how to squeeze the most safe power out the car.



Hope this helps ;)!
