S650 Mustang V8 to Get Ford Performance Calibrations (Tune)

[ChitownStang]

Ha, twist my arm.... Alright, I'll slap it on and report back. It's the only tuning I can do right now lol!

I just tucked the wire under my weather proof liner and set the controller on the area in front of shifter.
Comfort 8 is the sweet spot imo
Let me know your thoughts

I can’t wait anymore for this tune. I really need better throttle response, especially when releasing clutch into first,
Seems like I need half throttle to get moving fast off the line.
So I ordered Soler Performance Throttle Controller and will have it by Thursday.
First time ever trying a device like this but plenty of reviews with good input.

I’ve also tried mixing e70 with my 93 to get close to e30 over the last couple fillups, not really much difference in butt dyno to be worth it.

Did you see your AFR change, from 14ish to 12ish?

A couple aftermarket tuners have been posting how there's little to be had on 93 with how much Ford put into the stock tune...

Makes me wonder if/when Ford releases a ProCal based FP Tune how much they'll claim on what I am expecting to be a 91+ tune. Furthermore, if their tune can be a new base as a "stock tune" to see what improvements were made or can be made from there from the custom tuners. In the meantime I'll be patient to see where I want to land with this as I currently run hand-blended 93 since no one has it at the pump in my state for my daily.

So I installed the Soler pedal manager...

Wow! It's a pretty big difference. Gives the illusion of a "Stage 1" tune, which now makes me wonder if past canned "Stage 1" tunes really on pedal mapping to give the "Butt Dyno" effect.

Regardless, agreed, Comfort 8 is indeed very punchy and eager. Perhaps even a little *too* quick, but Comfort 7 now seems sluggish lol. Haven't dared to try Sport mode yet, but I'm sure I will one clear Sunday morning.

I can recommend Soler to give the whole thing a kick in the pants... I will probably keep after I am able to tune, only because I can manage the pedal on the fly with the app without having to jigger my map in VCM Editor every time I want to tweak.

Cool little box, pretty easy install (if you're over 45, have the tylenol ready after bending and stooping to reach top of pedal), and reasonable price point for an app that just works with a cool little "race car" module besides that makes people who don't know cars curious. I glued mine to console body, close to where my right knees touches.

Now if I can just pass my checksum pulling my stock ECU map...

Yes, I did notice it was in high 11’s

The Soler Performance throttle "enhancer" definitely makes a big improvement in the driving experience.

Even over just sticking it in Sport or Track mode?

Absolutely,
Sport mode is all I ever drove in and there’s way too much lag /pedal play.
Track is not responsive at all as it’s for track cornering and linear acceleration.
It makes a difference in every mode to whatever level you want basically 1-30

Crap... tunes...pedel masters...wheels and tires

About to get expensive for me

Welcome to owning a Mustang! lol
No need for throttle controller if you’re planning on tuning right away.
I’m just using until I get few thousand more miles on engine and let the tuners figure it all out.

Dude, effin' Comfort blows my mind. I just chirped 2nd, 3rd, and 4th with it on back roads here in Saratoga County - wife screamed with delight. It helps put power DOWN
