SCT Performance gains 28+ HP on a 2011 Mustang with just a Tune
Taken from CMOC forum:
"SCT is popular for their high performance tunes designed to improve vehicle performance while not sacrificing reliability. Most recently, SCT Performance took over a 2011 Ford Mustang with a 5.0-liter with an automatic transmission. SCT technicians took a stock pull on their chassis dyno to get baseline specs on the Mustang.
The dyno graph showed 360.71 horsepower at the rear wheels and 326.23 ft-lbs. of torque. The high performance tune was then applied to the car’s ECU. The dyno results showed a mid-range power improvement of 28.5 horsepower and 34 ft-lbs. of torque, though resulting in 376.36 horsepower and 356.17 ft-lbs. of torque on high octane fuel at peak power. Also, the rev limit was greatly improved from factory settings by over 500rpm.
SCT took the Mustang on a test run after getting the dyno feedback. Technicians discovered improved drivability and better shifting over the stock tune, plus the lack of a speed limiter. When tested on standard 87 octane fuel, the Mustang 5.0 had a final horsepower/torque readout of approximately 373 and 350 respectively, which is barely lower than the 93 octane tune."
This will be my first purchase. I'm sure we all can use more midrange.
