Ive never heard of this clutch protection. Can you elaborate? I have a new Lund tune on the way as well.
Down on power

Go dyno it, or measure out a 1/4 mile (easy to do on the Interstates that measure mile markers in tenths, just start even with one, then go past 2 and 1/2 of them, or use Google Maps to measure between land marks) and see what it traps. Should be close to 130mph if not a hair more. If you have a buddy with a fast car, do a 4th gear roll.

Also, this might be stretching it a bit logically... you said you are running E85. That stuff is corrosive like nobody's business. Have you changed your oil recently? Typically, from what I've read here, you need to run a special motor oil, change it every 1000 miles max, and have a great oil catch can. You might have a ton of sludge in your oil pan, and things might be clogging up like a thick chocolate milkshake.

Are you 100% sure the new clutch isn't slipping? There are ways to install the twin discs wrong and they still operate but not correctly.
Care to elaborate on what you could Install incorrectly? Install the discs facing the wrong direction or something like that?
Did you disconnect the battery for the install? After my clutch install the car was way down on power, it just wasn't the same, like it had the stock tune it. I re-installed my Lund tune...problem solved! The car is back to it's normal self.
I believe the 2011+ GT500's have both clutch and cat protection. Actually I think all of them have cat protection.
I'd like him to read this thread and check his oil asap, since he is running on E85.

I haven't had cats for a few years.... changed the oil last weekend it had only been in the motor for maybe 1500 miles.
Man you got quite a mystery here. You picked all our brains, and no solution. Noticing any better power with the cooler weather? Have you ruled out an intermittent intercooler pump?
Have you checked air fuel ratio? Have you done a compression test?
Crank relearn.

Crank relearn required on a 2007 model year?
No....not generally. And it takes the IDS tool to do it. Not with a handheld.
Just a far out thought
SCT X4 handheld device has the software for the crank relearn function. At the main screen click the (vehicle functions) ---> (special functions) ---> (crank relearn) options.
I've reloaded the tune probably 4 times now and it doesn't change anything.... I have yet to do a compression test cause I've never done one and the results might be something i don't want to see. I don't know much about what a crank relearn is..... how you do it..... or when it is required to do. I will do some research on that. I appreciate all the help guys!!!!!
Hey Bj.... or anyone that knows really. I read you can do a crank relearn on the X4. I currently have an x3 but am down to upgrade to avoid going to Ford. My question is will the tunes files you guys have emailed me download the same to the X4 as they did on my X3?? And also, will my car have to be returned to stockish for this crank relearn.... if so do you think just putting a K&n cold air and putting pump gas will work considering I have ID1300's installed? or will I have to change those injectors out? Thanks
My car was doing exactly what you're describing. Part of it was my intercooler pump stopped flowing. Anything over 125 degrees on the IAT2 and the computer starts pulling timing. I was idling around at 210 degrees staying out of boost. Fixed that and what a difference. Now my car is still pulling timing but not as bad. Think I might have a false knock issue. I would be checking your intercooler pump first ...
