BMR Tech's S550 Mustang Build: Street/Strip

[Greg Hazlett]

Both, the EB is a tough one to tune; lot of people are using COBB.

This sucks. I have been waiting since November. VMP finally shipped blower this week but no tune is loaded on SCT. I saw Lund is using HP and a hypertech box to hold the tune.

Tuning issues exists in both.

Why the tuning issues?

 

[BMR Tech]

Heading out at 6AM.

Won't be in office tomorrow.

I am Stresxcited.

Yes, stressed and excited. Gotta get the car done for NMRA, errr BUST.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Why the tuning issues?

Lots and lots of things to mess with, esp the EB since it uses the Bosch computer; supposedly SCT does not have full access to everything from Ford which can create issues.

Can't wait to see the numbers. Good luck!

How have people been tuning them then?

 

[Strengthrehab]

^^^^this

 

[Greg Hazlett]

COBB, SCT and Livernois; supposedly Lund is using a hybrid of HP tuners/hypertech box.

People can tune for them, the better tuners are the ones that have experience with the ecoboost platforms/DI/Bosch ECU's.

LOL, that's a great portmanteau. I am totally with you there; my second track day this weekend & first with modded suspension. Thus the need to swap brake pads & wheels at track--wheels are cake, brakes easy but never under this time limit. The realization that I will be going very fast on parts I bolted on myself is somewhat sobering (i.e., "Did I do it right?") even though it's done DD & several autocrosses flawlessly.

 

[BMR Tech]

Getting closer. Not sure if I will be able to make the NMRA Opener or not, but I'm going to try!

[BMR Tech]

How do you do it? lol

 

[REDS197]

Hope you make it!! Thats a lot of progress.

So the car made a handful of passes down the track the other night. I would be lying if I said I am not extremely thrilled with the results.

This car is being covered through various media outlets, so the power level and ET's - I am somewhat limited on exact specifics. So that said;

The car is making KILLER power. The slip below is at roughly 3800lbs raceweight, and is on a soft/base tune. Power, Shifts, and RPM are about as conservative as it gets with my combo, on this specific pass.



For now, that's all I can really share.

Rest assured, the posted results in about a week from now are REALLY going to be nice.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Wow...just wow...I had a lot of time, money and parts tied up in my 2010 to run those same numbers, safe to say someone figured out the tuning on them!

 

[BMR Tech]

Yeah, considering the soft tune and the other variables....this is a great slip.

Just wait until you see the next slip. LOL
