New tune for 1BADLIME at Performance Dyno

[marguerite66]

I went with Tim to Performance Dyno yesterday to have my tune looked at because the car hasn't felt right since I replaced my intake manifold last year. I thought I had a conservative tune but it turned out I had an aggressive tune and running very lean. Pete tuned it down to a safer level. I would highly recommend this place! Pete is a great guy and very thorough and professional. He explained every detail to me. The shop is very clean too! The car feels much stronger now, I'm very happy with it! Here are some pics and a dyno video.

My before and after corrected#'s (no mods, just retune):

Uncorrected #'s:

So I have the same RWHP even with the car being tuned down and I gained a lot of torque!

Congrats Dawn!!!!! That's an awesome Torque increase and you should definitely feel that! Not to mention, at least you feel safer now with knowing it was tuned RIGHT!

Was the first tune before or after you changed the intake manifold? Did you get a print out of the air/fuel ratio on the first tune?

1st tune was before intake manifold. What happened was, I got the tune then started having check engine light P0174 lean bank 2. Then tried cleaning/replacing maf, air filters, etc..finally was told I had vacuum leak but that the leak itself didn't cause the code, it was a combination of the tune and the leak. So I fixed the leak and the code went away. So yes, the intake manifold probably did change things with the tune. Here is my 1st tune:

Air fuel readings look the same when you compare the two dyno sheets side by side. Depending on the intake , it will change your tune. Especially if it flows more air. Glad you got it worked out anyway.

Awesome, Dawn. Car sounds great and I'm glad you got her where she should be.

Yes, correct. The new intake was stock but Ford changed the design in 07 and up due to a design flaw. Thats why I had to replace the whole thing to fix the leak. So, it did change the air flow and it was recommended by the Ford Tech to get another tune after replacing.


And thanks everyone!!

Dawn, I am really happy you took care of this issue and gotten a new tune, I had no doubt your previous tune was not a so called 'conservative' tune, some shops just want to maximize the dyno numbers to try n make their shop shine at the cost of the customers engine when a good can get the same numbers yet safer. Similar scenario to mine.

I'm sure the car feel totally different now not to mention the added comfort of knowing the car is healthy and ready to be abused

Time to go out n burn some rubber Dawn!!
