Aftermarket??

[weather man]

Is it just me or are there a lot of new name companies in the game with the S550 chassis? Is it because of ecoboost or because it is a hit overseas?

What say you?

 

[07TGGT]

EcoBoost has introduced companies to the Mustang world.

 

[TGR96]

I agree with Ryan. And like weather man said, I also think that it has something to do with the fact that it is now a global car.

So are there some new foreign aftermarket companies in the S550 game? I haven't been keeping up with the S550 aftermarket, since I'm still rocking the S197.

The S550 market is very strange when compared to the rest of the Mustang world. It was ATTACKED really hard by the aftermarket. That may sound like a good thing, but in reality it's not. There is a metric fuck ton of crap product available for it and another metric fuck ton of near fraudulent claims/marketing/advertising. Combine this with the fact that the S550 brought a lot of non Mustang guys in the fold and you have a ton of people that don't know what they're doing buying crap products.

I literally can't hang out on the 6G board because I get too frustrated/mad reading the never ending bullshit from vendors over there. It's one lie after another.

They are better at it then the GT tuners....lots of tuners learned the hard way you cant tune the EBM like a GT.

That little turbo, DI fuel and how the head flows, or doesn't, demands respect.

I think the learning curve was steeper than the coyote, and look how many #8's got popped when that came out.

Not to mention the fuel pump setup...

BEEF didn't sound to enthused with using the bigger DW injectors with the stock pump.

Exactly what I was going to point out. How many tooners turned down the knock sensor when they went from the 3v? Big bada boom.

There are a lot of things that go into the tune....Lund has been on point with it, tuned Lethals, Beef's and UPR's.

There are guys bringing busted cars into the shop I use were the tuner relied on the 3V knock protection to protect the car. Danny just laughs and fixes the fuckups.

To just buy a remote tune, Livernois seems pretty tough to beat. They basically throw their dick up on the counter every time they say they haven't blown a customers car. Nobody has chopped it off yet.

If I ever decide to get "serious" I would stick with DB Performance. Ironically, it would probably be Shane, not Danny tuning it.

No comment on LNS.....

Who is DB Performance?

Shop that has done all the work on my car in Rogers, MN. I actually found them before I bought my 08. I knew the hardware was only part of building a good car.

Danny is the shop owner and handles mustang tuning. Shane is the import side of the house with tuning. They actually collaborate quite a bit.

Danny experimented with remote tuning, but hated it. They are also so busy that he didn't have time for it anyway.

A fair amount of there business is fixing up Mustangs that other shops have fucked up.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Do they use Cobb or SCT?

 

[weather man]

Everything, LOL. I use SCT on my 08. Seriously, they can use anything, but I am sure they have preferences.

Here is list of some of the stuff they have worked with.

Cobb seems the way to go on the EBM with the exception of the ngauge; the X4 does not have the features of the others and SCT is going to be left behind if they don't get with it.....
