Hey gang, I'm a new member with a '17 FFS. Does anyone have any suggestions for best bang-for-the-buck tune or chip for the '17 FFS for HP and torque gains? I'm also interested in ditching the giant stock muffler for a cat-back system if anyone has any recommendations. Thanx!
He knows transmission tuning, he was the guy everyone wanted when it came to tuning the 6.0 Powerstroke years ago. Then he really got into the Eco's and figured out how to make good power with out getting to crazy.
I do my own tuning, had a couple that were a bit over the top, LOL. Had one hard pull that ended up being 27lbs, I looked the data log over and knew that was not gonna work well for long, LOL. I try to keep my boost maxed about 22 23 lbs, maybe one of these days I'll get the thing on a dyno and see what it makes with a good tune.
The stock 2.7 turbos (F-150, Edge Sport, Edge ST, Fusion Sport) don't need a lot of boost to reach its choke line and max out. The same goes for the 3.0's turbos on the MKZ and Explorer ST. If you're over 20 psi, it's kind of excessive.
On my 93 Tune, at 21lbs, 4th gear, I hit 408hp at the wheel on the dyno. It was Dyno Day, so not wired up. Red line on screen was pull done in 5th gear
Not counting that big spike that's about 400 hp at the engine. Sounds about right. At 21 psi of boost you're beyond the choke line of the stock turbos. It'd be interesting to see what air mass you were flowing at that boost level.
Agreed. If you want to preserve what makes these cars really unique - the balance of cost, comfort, power, handling, economy, style, all-weather capability - then IMO get a tune with 89 & 93 octane settings, a catch can, and do whatever you can to lighten your wheels & tires. It’s a no-risk have-it-all proposition that won’t break your wallet and will break a lot of hearts of the competition.
I'm new here 2018 Shadow Black FS, I sold these in 2018. It wasn't like these FFS deals are on every corner. Seems moreso a rare one. And an ultra good sleeper value. I mod. I am limiting myself. Hey so best drop kit and installer in Phoenix metro? Keeping wheels,tires. Happy to be here. I got factory trained it's not much but I'll share.
