Would a tune be worth it for me?

Turbo-Evo2346 · Jun 21, 2009, 05:21 AM

Was just wondering if a professional dyno tune would be worth it to get a noticeable amount of power at this current stage. My current mods are:

Intake
TB Exhaust
MBC at 21psi
Walbro
AEM Wideband A/F
LICP
Reflash

I've done research I just wanted to get some personal opinions. Thanks guys!

what mods did you have on the car when you got the reflash.

a reflash is a tune... unless its some ****ty mail in dynoflush

a tune a REAL tune will be beneficial in many ways, power, smoothness, gas mileage.

dyno flashes are expensive here like $500, i'd wait until you install cams/injectors or something bigger than bolt-ons

Being that you put in an aftermarket fuel pump and increased boost as well as opened the airflow I would. It also depends on Temperature, altitude and being that you're in Florida not high above sea level you should be able to get a substancial increase in power, of course not ridiculous but noticeable...

I would try to get some cams and 02 housing and you'll definitely notice some "power."

Tune prices can vary, shop around and EVOM has a lot info for ya!

Thanks for the advice! I previously wanted to go in the direction of doing cams and tuning but just wanted to see if it might be worth it to do without the cams since they can get pricey.

Hands down, the best bang for the buck is a tune. Even a custom tune with a stock Evo, there is a night and day difference.

What were your mods the last time you got your ECU flashed/tuned?

maybe this thread will help you make a decision about that, Mellon Tuned customer:

Get cams and then tune.

You might make around 250-260whp on most mustang dynos after the tune. There is a night and day difference, but you might as well make it well worth it.

After the cams you could make another 20whp on the same dyno.

Ideally, you want to tune your Evo when its stock and every mod after that. If you paying for tunes, obviously that gets expensive quick. You can alway do you own tune if that is something you think you might be able to do.

My person opinion is that a professional tune would help your car run better and you would pick up power as well as better power. By better power I mean you would improve your hp and torque curves as well as idle. When I bought my car it had a mail in tune and it sucked. I would wait until you put the cams in to tune the car. Good luck but be sure to have a reputable person tune your car and really spend the time to do it right, NOT just upload some pre-made map they have without doing any other adjustments.
