PP2 Ford Performance Tune

[Porsche Dude]

Are you using the Procal device to enter those numbers in by yourself? It's not difficult to get those rotation numbers.

Ford engineering through FP gave me my numbers. I never know this was a thing.

consult TireRack next time. That's what FP is probably secretly looking at.

Ok...so I ordered the Performance Tune/Procal kit. I'm encouraged by the dyno numbers that were shared here but I would need to buy one eventually anyway to get the 4.09 gear swap through emissions. I'll share my results of course.

Assuming all goes to plan, I will have a lightly used NGauge kicking around. I'll be happy to sell it for a few bucks less than the going rate. It will be a while before I have the Mustang back on the road with the new tune but if anyone wants dibs, drop me a PM.

Here is one members dyno...

Is one run on this dyno the baseline before tune and the other after the tune? Doesn't seem like a large gain being 20 hp and 7 ft/lbs if that is the case...

20whp is actually higher than FP advertises. I believe they claim like 19 at the crank so at least it delivers at tad more than claimed. You can get double the power for less if tuning for e85, but the FP route you get CARB compliance and their warranty if that is more important.

Peak torque only 7ft/lbs but under 4k rpm its 20-30more ft/lbs. Remember there is still an implied warranty and CARB EO#. For a lot of us that out weighed the bigger gains for a full E85 tune.

That's true - I didn't look at that initially. Quite a bit of torque gained at lower rpm...

Also, if the car could go beyond 6900rpm there could be more at play. With the MT82D4 and the 1:14th you hit the dyno speed limiter before you hit redline.

I would not drive it with the new parts and the tune not loaded. It’s a pretty easy install. It took about a hour to do. I removed the sound tube when I got home myself. I was happy with the kit. Still breaking the car in. Only got 420 miles on the car. Installed the first week I bought the car.

That's funny first weekend owning the car. X pipe, @ 1k CAI and tune.

Great minds think alike

My main problem with the E85 tune is that...there isn't any. Lol. At least here. I'm not going out of my way 30 miles to the only station when my fuel range will drop to a generous 100-150 miles a tank on E85.

More like that is the problem .. Like trying to find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Checking 45 mils from my 10 20.... and most likely a 1hr ride

Even in Los Angeles they are kind of spread out. I am lucky as there is one just 4 miles away. I don't run full corn, only a couple of gallons for poor man's octane boost.

With 2 gallons of E85

I'm not and never will be a fan of E85. Yes you can make more power, but the fuel consumption with it is pathetic and the limited availability is a huge issue. I like knowing I can go to any fuel station and fill up, especially when taking a road trip.

Consumption is balanced out by such a decrease in price. Though agree on availability. But that's also what flex tuning can do for you. Gives the option.

 

[IamCDNJosh]

Yeah, that gets into aftermarket tuning which is a huge negative for me. I like keeping things factory reliable as I don't have as much time to be chasing down issues. It's why Roush and the FP packages are so appealing.
