My experience with Fastlane and some info...

05mustang_kb_charged · July 3rd, 2008, 10:44 AM

Well I have been waiting on the dyno files to be emailed to me so I could post them up but those guys are really busy. I am also waiting for a couple tweaks to the tune to stop a CEL for some VCT code I am getting.

I dropped the car off to get a plug change and a new tune. They decided to strap the car down and check everything first. Well the figured I didn't need a plug change and the HT0's that were in the car were fine. Which saved me $350 because of the price of the plugs and labor to pull the supercharger off to change them. This was something they didn't have to do because I told them to change them. They figured the tune was off and not bad plugs as I thought.

They erased the tunes from the previous tuner and started with there own. The car was locked into Open Loop and added 2 more degrees of timing. So now the computer is commanding 17* of timing instead of 15*.

The first pull with 15* locked in Open Loop made almost identical numbers as the previous tune 588 rwhp and 511 rwtq. This was with the IAT at 115* and the shop temperature was 107*.

The second pull after they made a couple adjustments and still with 15* timing it made 594 rwhp and 521 rwtq. The IAT was 117* on this pull.

The third pull with 17* timing and 11.5 a/f made 613 rwhp and 534 rwtq. The IAT was 117*.

The car runs smoother and is easier to drive but did take a hit in gas milage. Since the car doesn't look at the o2 sensors anymore and just the Mass Air the gas milage went from 28.4 mpg on the way to Houston to 13.8 mpg on the way back home. I have been driving it around town and it is a steady 13-14 mpg weather it be on the interstate or driving around town. I am not worried about gas mileage so that doesn't bother me.

I changed out the Lightning Mass Air I had to another piece of 4" pipe for the intake and it made another 1 psi. On the last dyno it made 16 psi. and on the one at Fastlane it was making 17 psi.

I can't wait to get the files because it will show you the car makes 490 rwtq at 2500 rpm and goes over 500 rwtq at 3600 rpm and at 7000 rpm the car is still making over 500 rwtq. It drives like a totally different car now and seems to be alot faster.

Sorry this post is so long but I thought I would get the info out there. I will be posting some new dyno sheets whenever I get the WinPEP files. I will also be bringing the car back after a couple fuel system upgrades for the race tune which should be on 20 - 24 psi. I love the new street tune so I can only imagine what a good race tune will be like.

Great news neighbor. So July 11th good for NPR? Time to go tubular with the interior.

05mustang_kb_charged · July 3rd, 2008, 11:21 AM

Car should be good but the ole lady is on a what can you break trip....I will shoot for it and see how it goes but I am getting kind of anxious to see what this thing will run.

usafimj · July 3rd, 2008, 11:45 AM

glad you found a good tuner for that beast of yours. Time to update your sig with the new #'s

mustang fanatic · July 3rd, 2008, 11:54 AM

Its never ending for you is it. It seems like you havent really had the car running strong for a consistent amount of time. It worries me because I plan to stroke mine.

That sounded alittle bad, sorry guys. I plan on installing a 5.0L stroker kit.

More info please on Fastlane in Houston. I did a google search but only came up with an import racer place.

psycho bob · July 3rd, 2008, 12:03 PM

damn.....you went from 28 on the highway to 13??? you could almost tow it down to houston to get it tuned and get better mileage from a truck. you need a trip tune for any trips to shows you might want to take that will bring back your highway mileage. if someone wants to screw with you tell them to pull over to look at eachothers cars and change tunes then

I am already talking to them about a tune for better gas mileage but that would have to turn the o2 sensors back on and then I amy run into some driveability problems...I am at the point at getting a Big Stuff 3 stand alone in the car and being done with it. That way I don't have to swap tunes just swap boost and the computer will compensate for it.

Could go either way
If you don't break something first they will stop you for not having a cage.
