We finally got a chance to finish up our E85 tune today. Final results are impressive. We managed to net 20whp over our stock numbers on the AT. Gains will probably be higher on the MT. Mods to the car were as follows

Stock Air Box
Stock Mid Pipe
Stock Exhaust

Car pulls extremely hard. Even harder than what we had last month when we first started tuning.

Unfortunately we had a few other projects we had to finish up before we could get a finalized tune for you guys who have been pm'ing me.

^^^Nice!

btw Thanks for the updated Tune

Can't wait to try it out, I'll be in touch for that soon!

Ok, please forgive me but I'm a total n00b to this sort of thing. What exactly is required for this and how do you do it? I come from a computer background and never did too much work on my own cars before, is this like a software flash only or are there hardware changes required? I'm just curious for now, I can't afford to be voiding my warranty just yet but in the future I might be looking to run e85.

Its just an ECU flash

Why is your baseline so low?

FA20Club.com · 10-29-2012, 09:48 AM

thats the same baseline we have always used. its a mustang dyno which reads 10-13% lower than a dynojet. So realistically our baseline on a dynojet would be roughly 155whp. some people edit the readout of a mustang to read higher but ours has been the same way for 2 years which guarantees when my customers go on a dynojet they will see an increase of roughly 10%.

2forme · 10-29-2012, 09:54 AM

I still feel that 155whp is a bit low. I am around 165-168 stock.

FA20Club.com · 10-29-2012, 10:08 AM

Youre in mass so you geographic location yields high nembers come to florida and try making the same power in our heat and humidity. In fact a prime example of this is our stage 2 tune netted only 156whp on my dyno but else where in the country netted almost 180whp. And everyone knows its not the numbers a dyno is a tool the fact remain are the gains not what you start/finish with. If i were on a dynojet the gains percentage wise would have been the same hands down. If i gain 10% on a tune one one dyno i should technically gain the same percentage increase on a different dyno.

I have 2 friends with manuals who have run there cars on dynojets and yielded only 158-160who stock just to let you know what high heat and 50% humidity does to power product in florida. We contend with heat other high altitude.

I didn't dyno in mass, but I get what you're saying.

Chee-Hu · 10-29-2012, 02:20 PM

Very impressive gains.

FA20Club.com · 10-29-2012, 02:35 PM

Thanks....Im going to try to see how much more i can get out of the low end on it later on this week.

JoeBoxer · 10-29-2012, 03:01 PM

They are using an automatic too which normally has higher driveline losses than a manual. I think the baseline looks about right, no doubt a manual on a dynojet would have a higher baseline.

Thanks! Got the badges
