2016+ GT350 Dyno Tune Results

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

Just finished up doing a dyno tune on a customers car using HP Tuners today. Car came in making 498rwhp on our dyno and 408ftlbs of torque.

With our tune the car threw down 514rwhp and 425ftlbs of torque. Total gains of 16rwhp and 17ftlbs of torque. Most of the torque gains were found in the mid range.
Car was 100% stock other then the tune.

Red line is before, blue line is after.



While currently were not offering email tunes. We will be offering tuning in house.

Nice increase in the bottom end!

I like how the torque comes on earlier and more direct with just a tune. I'd love to know why it wasn't conservative enough for Ford to smooth that out on the OEM tune. Hopefully a track key will at some point.

My bet is emissions compliance

Wow that dyno reads high!

I would suspect a good portion of that, but a tune should iron that out mostly. Besides the improvement, just looks like that's where the efficiency of the cams/intake/heads really show up.

Yes it does, must be a Texas dynp . Only dynojets can be somewhat comfortably compared online, but even those have variances of happy dynos.

The gains should roughly hold up though dyno to dyno. 45 lbs ft @ ~3000 rpm, and 20 lbs ft up to @ 5000ish rpm is pretty nice, along with the extra 15-20 hp up top.

Every dyno is different. Regardless of the base number the gains will be roughly the same.
There's alot of factors that effect dyno numbers. How hard the car is strapped down, tire pressure, tire sidewall and more

I'm anxiously waiting to see what an equal tri-y/catless x/full 3", bolt ons, e85 and custom tuning will do for a voodoo car. Some 3.90-4.10's, and maybe cams at the end of all that... 550whp na is gotta be possible.

With torque coming in ~500RPM earlier with this tune, then the new 4.09 gears that just came out for the Super 8.8 from Ford Performance, I think the soggy bottom end will be a thing of the past. Kooks headers/3" exhaust and E85 have also shown to significantly increase torque on their own. Add all that up and throw the 4.09s in the mix, and I don't see it being an issue.

Some people think the bogs on drag launches seem to be a torque management system in the tune. If so, that can be tuned out once tuners figure it out. It will all come together with some time.

THe delta is more important than the absolute numbers, Too many think of dynos as measuring sticks instead of tuning devices (which is what they are)

I am in the same boat wondering what it is going to take to keep the engine NA, and bring that initial torque curve earlier in the RPM band. The obvious exhaust mods and a tune, but from there...

 

[DSG2003SVT]

With the size of valves, cams, and the ported heads in this engine, it may not ever go away totally. I believe it can be diminished to the point that it will be a non-issue from a performance standpoint though. It will never feel like an LS/LT GM engine cruising around town, it will have to be beaten a little bit to be enjoyed.

My response to this post appears to have been "blanked". What's up with that?

When will the 4.09 gears be available?

 

[Saleen_1977]

also, are these cars ready for E85, or does something have to be done to the fuel system?

 

[50 Deep]

When will the 4.09 gears be available?

They ar available now from ford racing

 

[SID297]

Impressive gains.

 

[Saleen_1977]

Thanks, pardon me for asking but do you have a link to them?

I only see 3.55 or 3.73 "Super" gears listed. Were they just released?

Yes. They're in the new catalog I believe.
