Stock at the moment so yes N/A... would love to go as far N/A as possible


I am on the same mission! I currently have the MRT H-pipe and Pype Bomb axle backs installed and it sounds glorious. Looking to make near 500whp. I am waiting on intake manifolds to come out for the 15 GT and then I will start purchasing everything. I am thinking I can make near 500whp with an intake manifold/Intake upgrade/throttle body/cams and E85 tune.... Is this accurate?


I feel like that is enough mods to make around 470-500whp.. ?? I know an intake/exhaust and E85 tune can get me up to around 418whp. Spoke with a tuner at cunningham motorsports.

If any of this is false let me know... I am a noobie at all this at the moment :D But I feel like this should be some what accurate.


Cheers! :beer:

i think cams and an intake manifold, plus headers, and your exhaust should get close if not to 500rwhp, thats pretty much where i am looking to go... I was thinking at that point tossing a very small nitrous set up at it, just to push it a little further during those necessary times

Switching to E85 is simple. You'll need a tune, and bigger injectors. As far as 500 hp NA, that's not going to be easy even with all the bolt ons mentioned.

It's already easy to go to E85 as is.

Not really, not as easy as it should be, just read the following to see what I mean:

Livernois Motorsports is proud to announce a new tune now available for 2015 5.0 Mustang GT's . The new Flex-Fuel tune will allow you to run any unleaded or e85 fuel or any combination of both without switching tunes. Using the MyCalibrator tuner and the New Flex-Fuel tune the stock Ford computer with its sensors, the car will now automatically detect any changes in fuel type/ octane rating and adjust the tune accordingly. All without you having to do anything other than adding fuel. Are you wanting to take advantage of the power benefits of E85, but don’t want the hassle of swapping tunes back and forth every time you fill up? You got it! If you want to fill back up with premium and not have to swap tunes back again, you got it!
This is just another unique capability that makes our MyCalibrator one of the most advanced tuners in the industry.

Thank you for the information! What size injectors are needed for E85?

For a bolt on car, we actually ran it with the stock injectors with no issues. This was tested in house with our windstorm CAI, EvenFlo thermostat, and Long Tube headers. having more modifications than this may necessitate larger injectors, but for this level of mods the stock injectors are up to the task.
