lbp said:Justin said:Umm the tune...isnt very driveable to me. Its an old school idle tune. Sounds good at idle and drives fine at WOT anything in between...it bucks around below 2000, surges at part throttle, hangs up the rpms between shifts (rmps just hang at where they were). you let up on the gas in 1st and it will out cruise at 20mph.lbp said:Justin said:That isnt true. I bought a tune from JLP installed it and was/am able to go back and forth between the Trackey Tune and the JLP tune.CoolTechLLC said:If you have the track key programmed, then if you install an aftermarket tune, the track key program (dual key) usage cannot be recovered - unless you go back to Ford.
Yeah trust this guy it takes a long time/ a lift/ a pole jack and tiny hands to swap headers on the 5.0. I have helped some people do it...its not something you want to do more than once without getting paid to do it.CaliMR said:And swapping headers isn't very outside the box, it is done quite a bit in the turbo import scene. I know a few people who do it with aftermarket turbo kits but seems it also is not a viable solution here due to the time it takes.
Justin,
How has the tune been?
- Do you track the car?
I dont track the car like you guys do. I am a drag racer. I havent tried it at the track. I took it back off the car cause I started to hate to drive the car and the cats started to get a sulfur smell pretty bad.
75 dollars was the cost for the tune. It makes for a crowd at the car shows
Hmmm...
Well, there's got to be someone out there with a tune on a track-driven Boss.
...Anyone??
Lund Racing They have an excellent reputation, tune the fastest cars on the strip and some of the fastest Mustangs on the Texas Mile and are known for being a little conservative in their tunes. Jon Lund and Ken Bajones (sp) are some of the best tuners in the Mustang community.
Are these guys drag racers?
I do the road racing stuff.
30 - 90 minutes on/off heavy engine loads can really beat up the motor and will eventually uncover any weak link or deficiencies, usually when you least need it to happen ;D
...Not that Mr. WOT/gear jammin'/quarter miler is any easier on that Coyote
- Would still like to hear from any guys who run a tune on their road course-tracked Bosses
