Shelby GT350 DSC Magnetuner Install and Feedback 

Thank you for your review and feedback Auto Fanatic! It seems you may have an older version of firmware and calibration file on that DSC Sport controller which we have updates for both! The latest firmware is up on the website but please contact us at your earliest convenience and we will hook you up with the fixes!!!

As a DSC owner for over a year, I have more than a few comments, though given the fact that you aborted the project without a single attempt to adjust anything the subject is really moot. Nevertheless I will attempt to set you straight. First of all, the out of the box suspension calibrations, a year ago, sucked. The car porpoised so much it was almost undriveable on certain roads. Since you purchased your unit there have been two major firmware upgrades. The most recent upgrade enables shock velocity tuning. Velocity tuning requires that first the static ride height be set, a process that takes ten seconds. Since you never even connected a USB cable to a laptop you obviously never upgraded the firmware, let alone enabled the velocity function or attempted to tune the system. My car has achieved all the goals you set. Normal mode is more comfortable than stock, Sport feels 300 lbs. lighter, and Track is awesome yet streetable. It would have been great if the original product was plug and play perfect. It wasn't, so it was up to dedicated enthusiasts to do the job.

As of today there is new firmware which, among other things, eliminates the issue of the error message when switching quickly between modes. Velocity tuning is also improved. There is also a new calibration file that I can tell you, without fear of contradiction, has been EXTENSIVELY tested and refined. I can GUARANTEE the new firmware/software package is plug 'n play. Obviously DSC is aware of your negative review. I would contact them and ask if they would loan you a controller so you can see for yourself and then publish a fair review.

11:10 yeah I did that with my coils. I was so slammed to the ground my tires were rubbing it was a nightmare. Got them fine tuned after 4 alignments and adjusting little here little there. It was the best purchase I ever made. SO stiff for corners and the ride was too but I loved that. Great video so detailed even though I am four years late.

You lost me at when I had it on snow tires LOL. It will be a cold day in hell when my 350 sees the snow

Love the camera angles where i can see the shifter, steering wheel, and road. Car sounds so freakin awesome.

Are you taking the car to the track for analyzation?

great review and this unit needs to be re-worked by the manufacturer

Without reading other comments, it sounds like either a defective unit or wrong firmware. Good luck.

Where are you in NY?

I like how you can tune this on your own. Carefully of course. Pretty cool vid! I still want that ride!

The issue with the dsc controller is you don't know what you're changing. The software does not give you velocity in lbs per inch. Instead you just get "target %" of the shocks capacity at a particular acceleration. Which makes it impossible to know what you are changing from and what you're changing to with regard to shock forces.

I’m looking into buying a used 2016 gt350. What’s your opinion regarding the magneride. Is it a must? Or I won’t really feel the difference between one equipped with magne vs one with regular shocks? It’s only for daily driving no tracking.

auto f. ive owned mine 4 over 1 year now/im compl. happey/w the way my car is. what u guys are doing is changing the integrity oy many painstaking hours by ford perf. i just do not understand why a few of u guys are doing this stuff;sounds totally agrivating!! good luk though.

"So if you connect the plug backwards you lose xyz and it feels like a lincoln town car and it does all these terrible things and maybe I got a defective unit" So you connected the unit wrong... and then gave a review of how the car drives when you don't connect the unit properly? What?

My experience is exactly the same. Upgraded firmware and the error messages stopped but the car is miserable to drive. Porpoises is exactly how I describe the ride now. My daughters base focus inspires more confidence. Going to try the file updates too but out of the box it’s not good which there really isn’t a good excuse for - custom tuner or not, a base level tune this atrocious is really poor business practice.

Wow! Another great video showing your depth of knowledge and research. Your driving never ceases to impress, thanks for sharing.

Going through tuckahoe rd and bronxville! Haha

I know what you are talking about with the rear end, I hate that with a passion when A/M springs are installed with standard shocks or cheap coilovers. On the DSC you aren't the only to be disappointed with the box. Some have had success, but few. It can be tuned, but unless you plan on doing numerous track days, most people I've talked to have yanked it off. Good luck …..

These were big in the 911 world for a while but interest in it seems to have waned a bit. It’s just too adjustable for most people. All those tables and values makes you really go chasing settings. I work with tables and charts of data fields all day, when I’m off work I’ve no interest in laptop tuning. But that’s just me.

hopefully it's a easy fix!! and you don't have to spend more money!

Autofanatic thanks for the honest reviews that’s awesome that you are not just a paid for fanboy. Keep the reviews coming love them. I have the same car in lightning blue 2018 model so I really love when you do these kinds of reviews so guide my upgrades in the right direction. I’ll buy a couple bottles of your wheel cleaner whenever you get it completed also! Haha everyone talking about your wheel cleaner

A friend of mine has 18 gt350 and did this and went round and round with them he finally took it out and did the springs and was highly impressed

I had similar issues, bouncy, drive mode errors, I sent mine back, I don't think the plug can be indexed wrong, there are two rows of pins, on one sire, one row on the other

So... did you go back to the factory controller and all returned to normal or were there new issues?

GT350 owner here too. I'm pretty sure I've seen a video from you with the BMR springs already? I'm just confused because on this video you said that you'll put them on in 2 days? Is this just like an upload mixup? By the way great videos! Been subscribed to you when your sub count was under 500 forsure lol you're the reason I bought a leaf blower and a pressure washer haha
