Googled and googled and never really got good info on the subject so I figured I'd start a discussion here. Ford built in torque management into the original tune on our cars. Regardless of how you have TC set (on, sport, TCoff, everything off) it will interfere in lower gears giving the car a slight hesitation, power loss when you first stomp it. It went unnoticed at first with the stock tune because I was learning the car and then tuned with 500 miles on the clock. When I added sticky NT05s is when I first noticed it at the track because the stock tires were just spinning, masking the problem. Dumping the clutch around 4000-5000, even with my foot flat down, would hesitate at 50% throttle for a second or so until it would rip, and some times even after the 1-2 shift it would too. I'm leaving the previous tuner unnamed because its unimportant but now on my current tune it really rips. Haven't really noticed it at all on the street tune, but on the drag tune(only one I've used at the track from my new AED setup) everything is off. TC, AT, and ABS and there's absolutely no lag at all at wot. Does anyone have more info on this though? Also heard the power is cut to be easier on the drivetrain and the clutch... Here is a video of my car on the previous tune. Was the best pass of the day with the least bog on the launch but its still noticeable. Notice after the clutch dump and normal bog theres a hesitation from 4000-5500 even though my foot is flat down..
This is my old tune BTW, new tunes from AED have none of this hesitation and have instant throttle.
