Yeah "the tuning school" ran by Bob Morale here in FL is a great one. They have a few day or week courses with tons of instructor led classes. You can learn on your own as well but its a long process. This is a very protected trade and people who have earned their knowledge arent very quick...
Its part of the tq management strategy Ford uses to neuter these cars. Some of it can be tuned out and some left as-is. There are thousands and thousands of parameters like that all over the calibration at many layers to keep these cars running at what I call 70% of their actual peak potential...
LSPI is all covered by the tune. That shit is all over the OEM file pulling spark and putting in tq management to protect the engine. That oil isnt doing shit lol.
What I do is beat the absolute dog shit out of the car from 0-1000 then change the oil and then beat the dogshit out of it again until 3k. Then beat the dogshit out of it for 2k-3k intervals until I have had my fill of beating the dogshit out of it.
This is the best answer you will get. Also for reference, Mud=track and sport/track is actually just sport for the s550/650. Drag/sand = drag. This is the WOT shift schedule from a 2026 10R80 car with 3.55 gears.
They are right. Nothing to change on these MAP based cars. On the MAF cars you might need to adjust fueling a tad if you are actually flowing more in because you are getting more out faster, but not with the s650. These cars dont care what intake or exhaust you are running. Now if you locked...
Here was my last one a 23 HC challenger. One month a part stone stock on 93 and the DRs and then tuned only on that same 93 in the tank on the same tire, same track. Then bonus run on tune only E85. Thats almost 10mph gained from stone stock to E85 tuned.
Stock
Tune only 93
E85 Tune only
No but I know Zdungho. And your 16 was one of the cars that has the cat recall out. The 2020 cars came from the factory with the updated PCM strategy for much higher cat over temp enrichment. So my advice if you haven’t done the recall, don’t. You’ll regret it.
And Z tuned one of my...
They have their place for sure. You should drive a C8 corvette. They are so watered down on the pedal, the throttle controller is necessary to feel like you even have a sports car.
And in all honesty, in the tune most tuners me included change the pedal demand to make the car have more punch...
A 6speed properly driven s650 on an E85 tune against a heat soaked COT suffering Hellcat on the highway is a drivers race. The hellcats untuned will get one run then will be fat ladies walking in sand after that. They are hobbled by the EPA cat over temp settings from hell. They go 9.0 rich...
I hear this sad tale day in and out. Then I tune them and they are out there running with stock hellcats, laughing at FBO camaros and M cars. Get a tune. Cased closed.
