getting an m90. Tune question

[Captainstr8edge]

I suppose you guys are right about the warranty... If I decide to go back to stock, I could always have a dealership re-flash my computer, right?

I can tell you from experience when I had my Roush, their tune leaves A LOT on the table. I say go directly to an aftermarket tune if you don't get one with your purchase.

oh yeah, that was reason number 3!

I just had mine installed and the Roush tune is great. I am adding the Roush CAI and will use their tune again until I am ready to have it dyno'd...

Kit does not include the spark plugs in box. They mail those to you with the ECM reflash. My turn around time from Detroit to Maui was two days. I doubt you can get a tune from a tuner in two days. Most take a week in my experience.
In all reality it will take you two days to do the install anyway.

I suggest you install the stock roush package, test it out for a while and see what you think, and then look at the upgrade kits from VMP or JDM, or someone else if you choose. It is what you want, around 390 rwhp or 430-450 rwhp?? What are you looking for out of your car??

Well, I would order the tune ahead of time, but you make a valid point on the plugs, I completely forgot about that.

as far as what I'm looking for, I don't really have a specific goal in mind, just having fun workin on the car!

Run the Roush tune for now.....its paid for.

Spend the money on a dyno tune later when your mods warrant the need!

X2 Roush Tune works great with mine, Smooth idle,Very responsive and pulls great, I would recommend the Roush Tune until you add more mods.

We are all trying to save you money. Believe me your car is gonna feel awesome compared to your current setup. Upgrading later is easy.

I appreciate it! Talked to my buddy last night and we both agree that it would be best to bet the rough tune. Thanks to everyone for their input!

The Roush tune is fine, but when you decide to upgrade call VMP. They just came out with a 2.49 pulley to get a few more horses. Should be somewhere around 450 to the wheels. Tons of people on the Roush forum have his tunes and have no problems. My VMP stuff should be here tomorrow. Justin is a good guy to talk to and answered all my questions.

If he is buying the kit new and it has the press fit pulley, which is really only what is left new as that is the most current revision of the M90, he will not be able to use the 2.49 pulley as that is a keyed bolt on pulley. The current smallest press fit pulley is the 2.55" that VMP offers.

+1 on going with VMP Tuning, just amazing, and just remember to buy the VMP pulley puller it works awesome, or we can work something out with mine

 

[trakpak73]

That sucks. But I can't wait to get mine and get it on the dyno for before and after runs to see just what the difference is. I have the old type pulley.

 

[Aandf1978]

You should easily see where I am at right around 430 rwhp or so. I love the VMP tune and mine is email tuned not dyno tuned. Some day I will get around to data logging and sending it back to Justin for fine tuning, once I find a cheap firewire cable!! LOL!

 

[trakpak73]

A guy on the Roush forum was the test mule for the 2.49. His car was all stock and made 450 to the wheels with the VMP kit. So if I am close to that I will be pretty happy. Just have to be careful out on the roads because I just got a ticket last weekend.

 

[Aandf1978]

That sucks be careful!! LOVE that whine though, huh?? LOL!!!

I can get firewire cables from my work for nothing.
