Now I'm certainly no expert but if the actual designers are saying not to use their canned tune based on you mods, that's a clue to me.
Your the only person I have heard say they don't trust any dyno tunes. Any reputable performance shop will not over aggressively tune your car if you don't want that type of aggressive tune. A reputable performance shop will do the tune perfect using a dyno and diagnostic of your specific car. Just my 2 cents. I would get a dyno tune done if I were to supercharge mine.
Just trying to look out for you bro

Just trying to look out for you broThe procharger tune is very conservative. There's no need to look out for me. I datalogged and kept a close eye on the AFR before I became comfortable with the tune. Procharger doesn't specifically tune with the mods I have. It doesn't mean they aren't safe. Just that they won't warranty it since it isn't specifically what they they developed their tune with. Procharging your vehicle and "dyno tuning" it isn't a fire and forget endeavor. It requires you to study and make sure your car is running safe. Do what you want though. Get a procharger and go to the "reputable" tuner who knows everything there is to know about dyno-tuning a really high tech engine like this.

A supercharged V6 on 8 lbs is faster than a 5.0, but maybe not as fast as you think. A 5.0 with a CAI and a tune is going to beat the procharged V6 on 8lbs of boost every day of the week if the drivers are equal and everything else is equal. I know...I have both the GT and a procharged V6. My GT with the CAI and tune does 12.15 in the quarter in about 1200 DA. That's on heavy 18" wheels and the stock converter in the car which can barely get near 2,000 for launching. My v6 does about 12.5. With skinnies and a higher stall, my GT will easily do under 11.9 The V6 is fast. But my GT is still faster. My v6 has more HP, but the GT still has more torque.

You need to do a bit more studying if you think dyno tunes are by "default" safer than the canned procharger tune. Read around. Every blown 3.7 was on a dyno tune. It's not easy to tune these new high tech engines. The procharger tune is very conservative. There's no need to look out for me. I datalogged and kept a close eye on the AFR before I became comfortable with the tune. Procharger doesn't specifically tune with the mods I have. It doesn't mean they aren't safe.

People may of had the tune set to run a bit more lean to gain extra power but not good for he engine. Maybe that's why they blew up. Good thing there is a Dyno tuner near me that's a mad scientist when it comes to tuning. The man is awesome, and owns performance evolution in Delaware.

My tuner got 300whp out of my V6, and is a Procharger dealer. They know what they are doing as well, so when I get the green next year they will be doing my SC install and tune. By my calculations my car should be 450whp and 550hp at the crank. That will be good enough for me.

Excluding the suspension I have around 3,500 worth of bolt ons including the custom dyno tune. Airaid CAI, BBK long tube headers, BBK shorty catted X pipe, Bassani axle backs, 1pc aluminum drive shaft.

Its great to see a nice person to build a v6 mustang if you want to stay with the car for a long time it will be great but if you will just build it for just driving couple of times and then sell it you will lose money big money

I have a 2014 procharged v6, bbk throttle body, cai, LT headers, O/r X-pipe and dyno tune. I have about 426whp, I'm trying to squeak a little bit more out of the car and get 430 440.
