350whp and around 400wtq

Default ReTuned '06 FXT

I had my '06 FXT Retuned at TopSpeed in Atlanta on Friday. The first time I had it tuned, there was a problem with the Pro-Tune software, which made for an long tunning process. Doug did this retune for free, even though he still had problems, but was able to get hold of Cobb to get the problems solved.

SuperRu came up to watch the tune and talk to Doug some. Nice to meet him - very nice guy!!

I have a video of the run. If you have probelms with it - let me know.

The mods:
--VF39 (with Crack)
--STI TMIC
--Cobb AP V. 1.0
--Cobb catted DP
--TopSpeed Protune

Doug was very happy with the run. He said he richens up the fuel curve around the torque peak, and leans it slightly as the RPMs come on up. HP is not increased from the previous run, but it is smoother, not as abrupt or violent, and holds power better to redline. However, as I am still not allowed to drive (Dr.s orders from surgery recover), I haven't driven it - my wife drove it, with me grinning in the passenger seat

Boost is 18 PSI tappering to 13-14 at redline. PS - Injectors were running 96% today. Doug says that is normal - and Yes, injectors are the limiting factor for HP on the FXT. To get above about 300 WHP, with a manual, you will need larger injectors.

He also said the 4EAT takes at least 20 HP compared to a manual. During the pulls (Temp 60F, Rel. Humid ~ 60%), the tranny temp stayed about 165F.

Nice! I bet you are loving it now. Yeah, when I was running my 17psi tune, I was hitting 66% IDCs on my 814cc injectors so that would be maxing the stock injectors. I have to do another log to see what my IDCs are right now. Doesn't help that it is 12 degrees w/ ice on the roads

You might want to try asking these questions in the appropriate forums or do a search. This thread is not the right place for them.

18G Dyno vs a low boost VF39. Things to note - This is a mustang dyno and these are uncorrected numbers (typical correction factor is 1.06 for our conditions). The dyno reads quite a bit low compared to other dynos as well.
