They got alot of power out of the box that's for sure. 43 horses more is great, how much more do you think you can get out of it with methanol?

No sure, not really looking to find out either

IMO meth just complicates things, its all good for a max effort street car with no good fuels available, but not the best option to me..
Besides, we get E85 down here, so if it is going to switch fuels, it will likely be to E85, which I'd guess could be worth another 20 rwhp or more.

Thanks

If they are anything like they were when the 03's came out - It's GONE.

That being said - the smart money is on purchasing a new ECU and tuning it - and leaving the stock one untouched. Even then - EXPECT SVT to come onsite to inspect any 'blown motor' claims.

Is this still about 14psi? I was told that just switching to E85 would net a gain of about 10%. Still on the fence about switching to it with my app though. I'm looking forward to running into some new GT500's on the street.

No worries, and you can flash it back to stock in about 2 minutes

Never ever had an issue with a single Ford warranty. We were tuning 03 Cobras before anyone, and have sold 1000s and 1000s of 03-04 Cobra and then 07-current GT500 tuners, and there has never been a case of a warranty being 'GONE'.

This particular car is going to the dealer on Tuesday for a few cosmetic things, and an oil change. There will be no problems.

FWIW, since we are on the topic, the ZL1 we did a few weeks ago spent a week at the dealership with some odd drivability issues, which was identified eventually as a bunk torque converter. They replaced the converter and car is running great, and at no point did they ever ask him if the PCM had been flashed, as there was no way for them to know.

Thanks

Those are awesome numbers! And 660rwtq would be fun as hell at 3600rpm! I can only imagine this thing would get ever so near to 700rwhp with a GOOD intake and full exhaust setup on E85.

Ford is coming out swinging these days. It's pretty damn cool if you ask me. Not only are they building some bad *** stuff, they're forcing GM to step their game up. A win / win for all.

That kind of power from a tune only is absolutely insane.

It's getting a CAI next week and coming back for a retune, followed shortly by a pulley swap, and another retune.
I fully expect to see north of 700 rwhp when its all said and done, on 93 octane pump gas

Amen.

I plan to be posting up in a week or two to discuss the '700 rwhp canned tune'.
Good times indeed....

Too bad the tune doesn't keep it from being so ugly.
