Could you, maybe, post the results? Or has it not been on a dyno yet?
Unleashed Tuning results
Just wanted to pass this along. In late November 21 I picked up a 17 Sport with 11k. A month later I picked up an HP RTD+ from Unleashed Tuning.
Weather and other factors (putting longer wheel studs on my GT350) delayed getting to the install. When I finally got to it, I ran into difficulty with my phone pairing via Bluetooth.
Regardless, through my questions, Torrie was responsive and helpful and walked me through the process.
The results are impressive and the car is running great. Thanks again Torrie.

No, it has not been dynoed, and I doubt that I will. The difference along the lines of my 03 Cobra, before and after the pully & tune respectively. This is not some kid putting a fart can muffler on his Honda.
I was not attempting to imply it was similar to a fart can. I've had several tuned cars, and I know what they are capable of. Had a tuned 99 Mustang that was better in every way, had a Tuned 97 Thunderbird with a PI Swap that was also excellent. I only ask because I am curious about the actual, at the wheel gains as well as what the curve looks like. I am still looking to buy a Fusion Sport (or a 3.0 equipped MKZ), and plan on getting a tune. I want to see the quantifiable results, not just seat of pants.No, it has not been dynoed, and I doubt that I will.

Well, there are other folks here who have posted their dyno results.
Tune by it's self will gain you about 60 to 75 HP depending on who's tuning and what fuel your burning. It's all the other things you can do that make it handle the tune better, or just more power in general.
I went to a DYNO Day a year ago. Unleashed 93 Tune, 65mm TB, UP FMIC and new plugs, resulted in a peak 408 whp.
I trapped 108 with 93 tune only in good air. Lets say the mags trap speeds in original testing average out to about 101.I was not attempting to imply it was similar to a fart can.

Healthy gain. My race weight was 4050, you can figure out the gross HP increase yourself.
A 93 tune is 65-70 an e30 e40 tune is even stronger throughout the rpm range. Another 10-20 depending on tune, fuel, altitude and atmospheric conditions. I dont bother getting a 91/93 tune dialed in perfect anymore. There are a bunch of dyno results posted all over in the forums. Many have moved on that posted them. I ran [email protected] 2.01 60ft 3300da with wheel spin. Tighten up to 1.7-1.6 with better tires and I'm mid 12s. E40 Unleashed tune and CPE fmic only. I have a pump and turbo upgrade coming up and might get both an Unleashed and a dyno tune. With my current performance i feel mkz turbos might be enough to touch 11s for me. Im good right there 😂
I’m going to start an argument no doubt, but I’m skeptical that these cars can achieve 1.6xx, or even mid/low 1.7 60ft. I’ve run 12.30s at ~112mph with 1.80xx 60ft times. I’ve also run 1.78xx 60ft at 12.48xx at ~110mph. That’s with a 2500 rpm launch, and chirping tires on a prepped track. I’ve experimented with up to 3000 rpm launches and at worst, it’s spun tires, thrown a CEL and cut fuel. Since we can’t warm up our tires with a burnout, I’m not sure what type of tire would be sticky enough to keep wheel spin out of the equation. Maybe those ultra-expensive Michelins like AMG Mercedes come with, but good luck finding the correct size. Carving two tenths out of the 60ft is much harder that two tenths out of the ET. It takes improvements to transmission, chassis, and tires to improve 60ft beyond what’s “natural” for the cars abilities, whereas just adding horsepower can get you ET improvements. I see plenty 1.80 60ft street cars making sub-11 runs. because they can’t manage wheel spin. 60ft is only a single factor in many that contribute to breaking 11s and it’s already reaching peak with the currently available mods on the market. IMO It’s going to take a driveline modification to get 1.6-1.7 and we all better be waiting with a big bag of Oil-Dri, magnets and brooms.
Ok…Hit me with it…

Your 100% right on all of it, to many people worry about 60 foot times. There's a lot more to it than that, on top of the stress your gonna add to the drive line for a couple tenths more gain. Use to be a 2.0 60 time was considered good, on top of just working on your RT. Tires will always be a factor, and AWD.
I’ve hit 1.76 60’ as a personal best (PB). That didn’t correlate to better 1/4 mile times though… Car over compensated in the 2-3 shift & everything downstream from there slowed down…I’m going to start an argument no doubt, but I’m skeptical that these cars can achieve 1.6xx, or even mid/low 1.7 60ft.

My PB 60’ time where it all gelled thru the 1/4 was 1.823. This included a launch where I feathered the pedal vs building boost for a launch.
I believe our adaptive transmission programming struggles with adjustments when boosted launches are made. That in turn negatively impacts our 60’ times.
I totally agree on the adaptive transmission. My experience is it usually takes all three time trial runs for the transmission to realize I’m serious.
