It will be interesting to see if the kit can take advantage of E85R over the normal e85.

Thanks to everyone who stayed late tonight!
The car feels like it drank a big pot of coffee. Very good tide over until fi.
I will try and post up the dyno later.

Sorry in advance for any poor grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Here is my modified baseline vs one of works first FRS tunes.
The 150Hp is no tune with a full catless exhaust system. After the works tune we had about 165Hp.


Just to establish what the Delicious tune gained, this is that same tune today. It was much cooler outside and just day to day difference we got about 170Hp... so same old tune about 5hp over when we first did it.
Disregardthe 2 lines. It was one we forgot to remove befor printing.


Here is the Delicious stage 2 tune and then e-85 flex.




A couple of things to note.
Works keeps off the rev limit for their own safety concerns. So this being under the stock fuel cut and well under the 500rpm extra that this tune was set to. I believe there was more power than this dyno shows.

I will defiantly put up results from the other shop I go to that uses a mustang dyno. I have old full stock base line and works tune from the other shop to show a bit of a comparison. And I'll make them nail that fuel cutoff.

One thing I noticed was that the delicious stage 2 seems to have much less power in the very first part of the pull. But the e85 seems right about where the works one was. I don't recall for sure, but I think that was by design. Or it could just be this dyno system. If Delicious pops in, maybe they can elaborate.

Also I figured the Delitious stage 2 tune would have resulted a bit more than it did compared the old works tune. Either Works did well the first time or I got the stage 1 tune by accident :P

We did not get to drive a lot tonight because of Friday commute traffic. But the car pulls much harder now. I cant believe what a difference it feels like. Its like having a low boost trubo or something. Just playing with it a little going up a steep hill, I noticed the difference in climbing power in the mid rpm range. At high rpm it went up like it was not on a hill at all.

The only time I got to floor it from a dead stop, I had the rear tires to brake loose a bit shifting from 1rst to 2nd. I was shocked to have that happen on 245's.

I am really looking forward to trying launch control and see what my Girlfriend thinks the next time she takes it on the track.

Thank you for the info @clayrush.

Almost 190whp naturally aspirated on our dyno is great power!
