Default Brenspeed Whipple Tune (2nd Gen) Installed

Guys, most don't know this but I originally bought a Whipple Tune from Brenspeed back in March. The tune unfortunately did not work well as their was a problem with Air Fuel Ratio. Brent had a tough time trying to get me dialed in. In the meantime I ran around on the stock Whipple/Ford tune to the results of 455 RWHP.

Brent offered to refund me my money AND provide me with a new tune in about 4 weeks after they installed their very own Whipple HO kit on their 2008 Mustang. Well, he finished it up and sent me the tune.

All I can say is Holy ****!!!!! This thing pulls like a mother!!! It dyno'd yesterday at 475 RWHP at a very safe AFR.

The most impressive thing about this entire story is how unbelievable the customer service was from Brent. He really cared about my situation and constantly emailed me updates. As it turns out, the original issue was due to the first gen vs. second gen Whipples. The second gen Whipples produce 12 psi very efficiently and safely on the stock motor. My original tune was based off the first gen Whipples.

I am stoked about the new tune and I can't wait to get out and "test it".

Driving it home yesterday, the power felt like it was coming at me much earlier compared to the Ford tune. Needless to say, I'm loving this car!

When you think about the results 30 Crank HP and20 RWHP, it is money well spent. The only labor involved is plugging in the old SCT and hit load!

Psssssst, I heard a report of a race gas tune well over 500 rwhp on the stock pulley!
Of course that was at 12.4:1 AFR and likely more timing as well.
But then you know how rumors get started. I have not seen the sheet.
Seems Whipple really did make some gains on the updated unit.

Very nice results on your car! A Safe 475 rwhp would make me very happy on the street.

Thanks guys. I was so damn happy with the results I sped out of my local shop without a copy of the dyno sheet. As soon as they fax me a copy, I'll post it up.
