DYNO PULLS 2018+ MUSTANG GT FORD PERFORMANCE CALIBRATION KIT & REVIEW: 2020 MUSTANG GT PREMIUM PP1 

I'm glad the video was able to help you make a decision on whether or not to get the kit! Overall I'm happy with the kit/tune, but $750 would have been a better price point.

I agree, my car feels much better, throttle response is improved, feels like it has more power, haven't dynoed yet. 2019 Mustang GT PP2.

So you recommend more than rouch? Do hear the intake? And did you have to delete the sound tube remove it?

Exactly...he could easily be at Ford's numbers if he was bone stock.

the tune is made for the gt350 intake , that could be why @@tri3pleagent

Haha thanks for watching! Yeah I mean I'm happy with it. It's something to hold me down until my warranty expires; Then I'll look into a custom tune! If you haven't already please subscribe to the channel! More content coming soon!

Thanks for watching!

I appreciate that! Yeah, Ford, and any company for that matter, is going to put out numbers that are a result of being from the most ideal settings and conditions. It is what it is. I'm still happy with the results! The fun from driving this car has increased so I can't complain lol.

Yeah, I plan on getting my car on the dyno again. I feel like the car has gotten quicker since I first got the tune 😁

@@JDubTwins yea I was just about to mention that. When I got my Ford performance pack for my 2016 eco boost(tune and cold air intake) it said that it would take a few gas cycles to learn the tune, it also said something about doing some pulls at certain rpms. The mustang6g forums have good info on the Ford’s tunes. I say get it dyno’d again.

Yup, my thoughts exactly!

Thank you so much!

I’ve seen 2020 GT A10 making 430 stock on a dyno.

2018+ doesn't need a manifold replacement other than cobra jet. The stock 18 up manifold performs very well from the factory.

Yeah, I guess that is something to consider.

You hit the nail on the head. And that's the key point, you're excited to drive your car again. You can't put a price on that!

Did you install it at Ford dealership? how much did you pay for it?

@@Alex-cc3ol no went to a ASE certified mechanic it was like 190ish I believe not bad at all

Couldn't agree more. I'm in Cali also I did a power pack 2 on my 16 GT with a 6 speed and it just made the car feel so much better. Obviously not earth shattering in power, but the overall car just felt better. I just got a 2020 GT with the 10r80 and I think I'll go power pack on this one too.

Correct! I don’t think people realize you lose HP from the crank to the wheels!

Yeah I only use Shell Premium. I've seen in the forums that the tune reacts well to higher octane gas. People have been mixing a little e85 with their 93 to boost the octane and they've been getting positive results.

How so

Thanks 👍

Update?

@@edwardsantillan4648 sounds good, feels amazing in the seat… no dyno yet

Did you get rouch stage 2?

@@umairejaz6665 I got the stage 1 and ordered a borla cat back. cuz I didn’t want the roush axel back after all. I like the sound of the borla. That’s the only difference from strange 1 and 2 is 2 comes with a axel back kit also.

@@TomC-kv8pl is that stage 1 is 999 at American muscle is that the one ?

@@umairejaz6665 I got it from roush it was $1039

@@JDubTwins just subbed

Thanks! More content coming soon!

The calibration tune will fix that issue, it's made for the 3.73 and 4.10 gear ratios as well. I'm think of getting the 3.73s but I'm not sure if it would be to high for the auto transmission.

To be honest I think they might have made a slight improvement to the HP and TRQ. I had the H-Pipe and AFE drop in filter at the time they did the baseline dyno.

No, getting a drop in filter isn't going to change anything. I had an AFE drop in filter prior to getting this kit/tune and it didn't change anything about the car and how it performed. The tune is going to give you increased throttle response, optimized shifts, an increase in HP and TRQ; results that a drop in filter will definitely not yield. Unless you're saying you want to get a drop in filter with a custom tune, then that would be a different story.

I guess you're right when you put it that way lol. Thanks for watching! If you haven't already, please subscribe and stay tuned for more content! If you're already subscribed, thanks for the support!

What year mustang ? If it's 2018 up the stock manifold is as good as the GT350. The 2015 thru 2017 power pack came with 350 manifold and the procal already calibrated for it. Which I think is the stage 3. Other than that a custom tune is the option.

No it won't. axle back and an x/h pipe is all you can do.

good tunes usually help ur mpg

Yes the kit is covered under warranty. It can either be installed by Ford or an ASE certified shop. I don't think it'll be covered under warranty if you install it yourself.

Did you notice you car running hotter? Than stock intake

Of course, thanks for watching! It was around $230 for them to install the kit and $80 for them to install the tune.

Yeah I did have an AFE drop in filter at the time.

Installed at a place called National Speed, and have you tried looking for it on www.fordracingbyspeedshopdirect.com/aboutus.asp

I don't think it made the paddle shifters more responsive. Shifting from first gear to second gear still takes like 2 seconds after initially upshifting for whatever reason. But I will say when it automatically downshifts it's smoother. When I'm down shifting to a red light or stop sign I only manually downshift to third gear, then I let the car automatically down shift to second and first. Prior to the tune, when it would automatically downshift it felt very abrupt and sudden, but post tune it feels smooth. The cost was around $250 but I got it installed at National Speed, not Ford.

Thanks! I had an AFE drop in filter and a Steeda H-Pipe. That might have made a difference.

@@JDubTwins Hey man, thanks for the video! just a bit of advice, you should let people know in the description that you had the AFE drop in filter with a Steeda H-Pipe on your first Dyno... That is DEFINITELY the reason for not getting the full 20HP & 20 Torque.

Car is rated @460hp at the crank, possibly understated, I deleted my resonator , put a cai, stock air box is back on I feel like my power levels never changed, have 20k on it now too, all dynos are different too.

@Metroid Corrupt gen 3 makes 460 stock.

Gen 3 coyotes make 460 stock @420 ft pounds of torque. Not sure where you get 427 😂 lmr.com/products/differences-between-mustang-5-0-coyote-engines

1. The intercooler will come when I decide to get the Stang boosted, the one you helped me install got sold along with the car 2. Si, 432 to the wheels 3. I drive a Mustang so you know that's bound to happen eventually haha jkjk

@@JDubTwins don't know if you saw my recent tune, but I made 418whp and 358 tq so I'm finally in the 11 seconds. I made my list last night for my next mods; I'm shooting for 450whp and that should be enough to beat the majority of muscle cars with bolt ons, e85 and cams except for maybe Corvettes. Next year 500whp and be done with it. I have an s2000 I recently bought and might mod it too and later get an E30 BMW or Turbo II RX7 FC.

Yeah I saw, your car AWD? And yeah my goal is 500whp too, which should pretty easy, but I'll have to wait until after my warranty is up.

@@JDubTwins yes all Evos are AWD.

What about rouch that's also a close box?

@@umairejaz6665 honestly I'd say the same really... I mean it is closed like other closed intakes but go with a closed one it's about getting cool air in not hot air... Hot won't do the job! But cold, cool air will especially because my 19 mustang has that ram air by the head light it's getting cool air and not hot💯

You have the 2015-2017 or the 2018-2020? On the market right now they offer the power pack 2 for $650. Is he referring to that? The power pack 2 is only compatible with the 15-17 Mustang GTs.

JDub Twins 2017, oh ok right that’s good to know man thank you.

To answer your question, no Ford hasn't reached out to me. Just to be clear, on the Dyno, the kit produced lack luster numbers. However, I forgot to mention in the video that I had a drop in air filter and H-Pipe installed which may have given me higher than average baseline dyno results to begin with, which would make the post kit install dyno results seem less significant. Also, although Ford didn't say anything about the car having to learn the tune over time, it felt like my car did learn the tune over time because it felt like it was producing more power after driving it a couple hundred miles, but maybe that's just my mind messing with me. Maybe I'll confirm that by getting another dyno to see if it gained more HP and torque. Overall, although on paper the kit didn't seem to yield that great of results, after getting the kit, my car is definitely more fun to drive than it was before. I feel like it made a significant amount of difference in the driving experience considering it's a warranty backed tune from Ford.

Basically ford said there car baselined probably around “415ish” and the tuner and intake it would make the 432 yours did.

Ford definitely lied on the advertised hp. I believe some of these engines with perfect fuel and IAT and stock tune could definitely make closer to 485ish at the crank

Yeah you're probably right, but I was definitely pleased with the baseline! Thanks for the feedback!

Already subscribed 👍🏻 By the way how does the tune impact the exhaust note? Does it have more burble or is it more aggressive? Thanks!

I mentioned it in the video, but I feel like there is more burble on deceleration, but I have an H-Pipe which I noticed made the exhaust have more burble when I first installed it as well. It may have increased the volume slightly, but again, I can't tell if it's a result of the tune or the H-Pipe.

you be fine didn't do anything to mine

That's a good question. I have the extended warranty as well. I'll have to do some research and get back to you on that!

So you'll retain your extended warranty, however, if any parts fail that Ford can determine was caused by the Ford Calibration Kit, it would not be covered if it's past 3 years or 36,000 miles.

@@JDubTwins So if something goes wrong passed the 3/36 with the power pack 2 kit installed by the dealership. Repairs to the car not covered under ford protect extended warranty. It's a sad day lol. Glad I didn't purchase it

@@user-bk5ey9ws5g I was trying to figure this out for the longest time and I can't tell you how many people I called from My local Ford Dealership, to the Warranty company, to Ford Performance, but everything JDUb Twins said is accurate. you will retain all of your warranty (7 years) but if anything happens after the 3 year/ 36,000 mile that is directly related to any of the parts you added, then those parts will NOT be covered. If something else happens to your car in, let's say year 5, that has NOTHING to do with your mods, then those parts ARE COVERED. Ford would have to prove that the mods added are the direct reason for any malfunctions to void the remainder of your 7 year warranty.

To be honest I don't think I paid enough attention pre kit install to know if it positively or negativity affected the mpg . But if it has negativity affected it, it's because I'm driving more aggressively than I was before lol

Why ? Is it this better deal it comes with throttle body I was thinking to get STEEDA closed intake with Lund tune then i saw this what do you think.

@@It7xc a tune from a good tuner and aftermarket intake nets more power than this Ford Calibration kit. Probably because Ford is extra conservative on the tune still

@@GolfCoyote What do you think about the STEEDA closed air intake

@@It7xc steeda makes good products. The closer one probably performs slightly better than an open filter but you’ll lose some of that induction noise

@@GolfCoyote I think i will stick with the STEEDA because its looks OEM, the cops when they stop me they said open the hood I don’t want them to impound the car The JLT is cheaper sounds better looks great

I don't believe so. What drive mode are you in when this happens? Does it happen often?

JDub Twins Yeah it does it in all drive modes, auto and manual. It either short shifts or runs into a soft limiter at 6800rpm around 120mph. In all other gears it’ll rev to 7300-7500rpm like it should.

Ohh wow, I haven't gone that fast in my car yet lol.

JDub Twins understandable lol. Well if you ever do could you let me know if it short shifts? (Probably the most ridiculous request you’ll ever get lmao)

I just bought a 2018 10R80 and have about 9k miles on her. The car pulls to redline every time! I've already had her up past 140mph and I'm really loving this transmission! Its my first auto and its a rocket!

In my opinion yes. I don't plan on doing any power modifications to my car until the warranty is expired, which is a while from now. So this satisfies that need. To me the car is more fun to drive so I think it's worth it.

Sorry to hear that man, but never had that happen to me before, that's strange. If you find out what the issues is please share though.

Other tunes void the warranty. That's why people go this route so they don't lose that. Tossing a warranty out imo is stupid.

@@thedude2897 yup, heard tons of failure for these coyotes

@@Fingamyaz Not really. The ones that are failing are mostly modded or the drivers try to drive them as if they are lambos. Stock ones do have some issues, but real world numbers show no different from any other car.

I had an AFE filter in the stock air box and an H-Pipe. That might have had an affect on the base dyno results as well.

JDub Twins thanks for posting, I was interested in what this kit does for the 18+. I have a 17 with the power pack 3. I really enjoy the car and the power pack.

I may do another dyno run in the near future to see if the car had to learn the tune. It might be putting out more power now 🤞
