NEED MORE HP

Get colder spark plugs. Even on a stock car you can benefit form it.

What spark plugs would you recommend getting? A quick search brings up mention of getting pre-gapped plugs and checking the gaps on stock plugs, but I'll be honest I'm not sure what that means.
I see these https://www.maperformance.com/products/ngk-ltr7ix-11-ngk-6510-iridium-ix-spark-plug-ford-mazda-multiple-fitments-ngk-6510-set were recommended a while back, anyone have thoughts on that?

Denso ITV22, NGK 6510, or Brisk RR14S will work. I've been running the Brisk and like them, but I had to recently change them and didn't have time to order more in, so I'm on the Densos now. Adam sells a ton of the Densos and seems to have pretty good results with them. He also sells them pre-grapped so all you have to do is install them. Here's a link to his page with the plugs: Clicky clicky

Yup I second what Juben says. Adam sells some pre gapped plugs which I would probably recommend myself as well.
You can go with the plugs on American muscle (I forget which ones the are selling for the ecoboost) but those are not gapped already to the correct specs.
If you do go with spark plugs that are not pre gapped I believe the gapping you should aim for should be around 0.028.

The stock 2015 PP Premium Auto has the same 1/4 time and I would expect the FP tune would bring it down to GT time of 13 on a PP Auto. Do you have a manual or Auto? PP?

I have an Auto Trans.

What was the 60ft? If it was above 2 seconds then traction was probably an issue. If it was below 2 and he still ran that time then I would think there is something wrong where it pulled power. I think the FR tunes are really just daily driver tunes in general

My 60' was 1.888

Do you have the Performance Package with 3.55 gears or standard with 3.31 gears?

 

[EcoSwag1990]

I would expect at least 13.3-13.5 with that 60ft and tune/auto trans. You might check your charge pipes for boost leaks. I also think my BOV was leaking a little boost because when I had the turbosmart on it felt a little stronger. I would go for an electronic bpv though, the turbosmart kompact was a pita

3.31 Rear

Yes. The TS BOV is a POS. I had one on my car and it did feel somewhat stronger but I had too much flutter at lower boost.

I will say that I do hear air at low boost but I'm guessing that is the unwanted air dumping into the intake tube and I'm hearing it through the open intake.

your 5' (foot) (thats what 60" (inches)) should be way lower than 1.888 lmao (just poking fun thats a pretty good 60' time. but yeah its 1 quote mark not 2. 2 is inches 1 is feet.

So I went to the track this weekend and the best time I could get out of my car was:

R/T............ .082
60'............. 1.888
330............ 5.576
1/8............ 8.742
MPH........... 77.34
1000........... 11.488
1/4............. 13.823
MPH............ 96.32

What mod should I do next to help out my times?

Current set up is:

16' EB
FP CAI w/FP Tune
265/35-20 P-ZERO on all 4 corners.

1.8 60 ft is def. respectable. With the tune and CAI, it should be somewhere from 13.5 and up.

What was the DA of the run?

 

[Seceda91]

If you want to be fast buy an Evo

Aren't those mid 13 second cars stock? If so the RS, STI and 370 may have it beat! ;)

LMAO! Thanks for the lesson. I do know the difference and it was just a typo. Your reply really didn't help me at all with what I was asking.

According to this calculator, using a total of 3950 lbs the 'Calculate HP from Trap Speed' and 'Calculate HP from ET' your EB is putting out about 239-245 wheel HP or 260-266 flywheel HP. Something seems way off, how long have you had the tune?

honestly didnt see what you were asking and to add to that i probably wouldnt be experienced enough to know the answer either. I figured it was a typo i was just having a good laugh with it nice time though

Edit: after going back through the thread i think the only question i see you asking is the original "whats next" style question for more power. I would suggest much like the others, intercooler > tune+ tune with accessport > catch can > downpipe

In that order.
