I purchased a 04 Mach one that has been tuned for 93 octane(car was in Michigan). The car will now be out in Arizona with 91 as premium gas. Is a retune necessary or with the sensors pick up the octane and not advance timing?? I am at least going to put in on the dyno and check air/fuel ratio.
Question on tuning on 04 Mach 1
- Thread starter riche
- Start date
go to moatea.net and order yourself a quarterhorse
go to www.efidynotuning.com and download the free custom tuning software under FBFG2, you can download it now and play with it while you wait for the QH to come in
when the QH comes in, read out your current tune and just go take out a little timing at WOT
you dont have to retune it just adjust it
also dependent upon how conservative the tuner was it may not need any taken out, see what you have and go from there

Any reason to use a QH1 over say an SCT x4 ?
is that a legit question?
its 1000x better, datalogging, realtime tuning, etc... all absolutely flawless, plus you have full access to the tune and can do anything you want with it, your not limited with SCT to only what they give you
its not 2003 anymore, SCT is old ancient news now, realtime tuning for the ford eec's basically put an end to SCT flash tuning devices many many years ago, I got my first quarterhorse back in 2008, I'll never use an SCT handheld on an EEC

I wanted to double check if the FBFG2 strategy will work with a 2003 GT? Also will it work with TunerPro and Binary Editor?
I am looking to start with TunerPro and upgrade to Binary Editor if I need to.
yes and yes
tunerpro is a major upgrade to BE

How is this tuning software compared to HPTuners? I have a local shop that runs it as there main tuning software but has many 04 and under mustang guys they have to turn away cause HPTuners only works for 05 and up mustangs.
This is awesome. I didn't even know Moates existed. I've used the consumer version of the SCT Pro Racer Package for years, and it's extremely frustrating because it doesn't provide all the editable values that the professional version does. Thank you!
Well I do not have any experience with QH nor have I ever heard of one prior to this post, so yeah, it was a legit question..
2003 or not, I can still walk into my local tuning shop, Buy an X4 off the shelf and send my car back for a custom tune at a discount. I can't do that with a QH.. but thanks for the heads up, I'm reading the getting started now.
Maybe the better question to ask would have been if QH is a better setup overall than an SCT handheld along with the pro racer software...

you can buy a custom tune with the QH

yes the QH is 1000x better than SCT, not only can u do realtime tuning and datalogging but u have full binary access to the tune

all advanced tuning shops use a quarterhorse to tune an eec, it is THE ONLY way to properly tune one
I thought they released it already?
Hasnt been released yet, that i know of. Been on the HPTuners forums and havent been able to get any kind of answer from them about a yes or no to the program and cable for our OBD2 in production or a possible release date. Seen a few posts on there asking about it, but never really seeing anyone from HP actually commenting enough.
yes youll see i have updated the getting started write up to include flashing the 96+ ecus
