I got my SCT 93 octane Tune from Evolution Performance yesterday. Its very easy to install. It rained yesterday and rainy with wet roads today, maybe for the next several days. I drove my Mustang to my girlfriends house yesterday. I noticed very fast and straight to the point shifting from my automatic transmission, i like it. I tried to get on it at 35 m.p.h., no traction on the wet roads. Lots of 'traction control' light flashing and tire spin, i like it. On the way back home i got on it at 45 m.p.h., same thing, no traction. I noticed a lot better throttle response with normal driving also.

I can't really try this tune out until the roads dry. I have a special road where i do all my 0 to 60 runs. This tune feels great and the power feels like the advertised 20-27 added rear wheel horsepower. I'll get back to this Thread when the rain stops.

 

Cool, what do you use to measure 0-60 runs? I also have an auto with 3.31s, so I am very interested to hear your results. Do you have a baseline o-60 without the tune?

My best 0-60 using the I-pod Touch app dynolicious was 5.46, it took a lot of rns to get this time. Most of the runs I felt were strong were around 5.7-5.9, but I did get a 5.5 and a 5.6.

 

There goes buying cheap gas for it...

Keep track of what it does to or for the fuel economy and let us know.

 

The roads dried yesterday. I 'always' use the same road for 'all' my 0 to 60 times. I use a hand held stopwatch. I don't know if my timing style is accurate, but i do know it is consistent. I start my stopwatch when the gas pedal hits the floor, not when the car starts moving.

Factory stock 0 to 60 times were 6.3, 6.4, 6.3 and 6.3.

K&N drop in air filter and Magnaflow axle back mufflers 0 to 60 times were 6.3, 6.2, 6.2 and 6.3.

SCT Tune from Evolution Performance my 0 to 60 times were 5.7, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.7.

I'm very happy with my V-6 Mustang now. My automatic transmission shifts a lot firmer and on my 0 to 60 test, when it shifts to 2nd gear there is (a guess) what feels like, a half of a turn of the rear tires, 'wheel spin'. This is the first car i have ever owned that would bark the tires shifting to 2nd gear with an automatic transmission.

I take my dog 'Chico' with me when i do 0 to 60 times. He went with me on my last car and now with the Mustang. When i turned around to do my second 0 to 60 time, Chico started acting scared. He usually stands with his front legs on my arm while i drive, instead he went over to the passenger seat and curled up in his little bed LOL!!!

I noticed when the m.p.g. display is usually showing 22 m.p.g. on the in-town (not bumper to bumper traffic) roads i drive, is now displaying 23 m.p.g. I won't be able to get a good m.p.g. figure for a while because i'm having too much fun LOL!!!

 

So 2011 V6 + Performance Package are averaging 0-to-60 times of 5.3/5.2 seconds. So performing the same mods as you theoretically you could see the average times dropping to 4.7/4.6 seconds Don't temp me David.

 

Car and Driver had the V6 PP at 5.1 0-60,

I am looking forward to seeing what the upcoming Steeda CAI/Tune does for the V6, should be good.

 

amazing times for a NA V6!!!!

 

Remember, i start my stopwatch as soon as my gas pedal hits the floor and not when the car starts moving. There is a slight delay with my automatic. I'm sure my times are better than what i posted.

 

Nice! Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

 

sOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IMPROVEMENT, i'LL HAVE TO CONSIDER GETTING IT. i THINK i GOT FASTER 0-60 TIMES BECAUSE i PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, GAVE IT SOME GAS, WAITED FOR THE dYNOLICIOUS TO GIVE ME THE GREEN LIGHT, THEN i RELEASED THE BRAKE AND MASHED DOWN ION THE GAS.

Oops, sorry I didn't know I had the caps lock on, lol! I was just checking my bank account online and use the caps lock when entering some info, I sometimes forget to turn it off.

 

I'll try that the next time i go to the road i do my time test on.

 

Need to get it out to a drag strip and really see what it will do.

 

I really need to. The nearest 1/4th mile track is 70 miles away (one way). All my close tracks have changes to 1/8th mile and i wouldn't waste my time running 1/8th mile. I would love to get a true 1/4th mile, time and speed.

 

70 miles isn't too bad, an hour away.

When do they run?

 

I checked their web site today. I-40 Dragway, they seem to have changed to a 1/8th mile track. I'll have to ask around where people run in my area. I haven't been to a drag strip in 35 years LOL!!! I see several trailered drag cars go by my house late Friday afternoons and they aren't headed to the drag strip i was thinking about trying. I'll have to check around.

 

All the drag strips around me have changed to 1/8th mile, not going to waste my time on that. So i bought me a G-Tech LOL!!! My research on this has the times close to a drag strip but they (the G-Tech) seem to give you a mile or two per hour more on the 1/4th mile speeds.

First run i put my foot on the brake while i gave it a little gas. Burnt the tires pretty good and went sideways some, but i didn't lift the throttle. 0 to 60 was 5.70 seconds and the 1/4th mile was 14.075 at 102.25 m.p.h.

Second run i didn't powerbrake any and started out with just a small amount of wheel spin (traction control was off with both runs). 0 to 60 was 5.295 seconds, 60' 2.249 seconds, 1/8th mile was 8.983 seconds at 82.44 m.p.h. and the 1/4th mile was 13.774 seconds at 103.52 m.p.h.

This is what the G-Tech recorded, for what its worth. If these times are accurate, i think they are pretty good for a V-6 with an automatic transmission.

 

Wow, sounds like great runs! I think the G-Tech has similar accuracy to the Dynolicious, and my Dynolicious times were right there ith the timeslips I got from the dragstrip when I ran them together.

Can't wait to get a tune for my car, but I am late on my property taxes, got to get those paid off first. I am still stock. I plan to hit the dragstrip this Thursday night, the high is supposed to be 76, thr lowest high in months. Hopefully I can improve on my 14.5.

 

I have a gtech but gave up after it read my last Stang @ 0to60 in 3.9secs twice Gave it one last try right after getting my 2011 and got 4.6sec to 60, that kinda seems fair.

 

This could be you, lostnight...

 

Carlo, good to see you in here man! You know I want that tune, can't wait to get one.
