Just a tune
I found this thread in another forum.
http://www.modularfords.com/forums/s...-Tuning-DYNO!!
Here's the important part.
The thread later on says he's using the same fuel for dyno. Man, if a tune alone will get me 13rwhp and 20ft lbs, and doesn't kill my MPG, that's all I need.

The same car we tuned last night and took to the track hit the dyno today.
2011 V6 Auto with 2:73 rear gears on 17 inch wheels.
Hot off the street, no tricks, no cooldown just a fan and locked in 4th gear.
247hp/236/tq
10 minutes to load our custom tune onto the car and pulled again.
260hp/256tq
Thats 13hp and 20ftlbs of tq with just a tune, nothing else and nothing fancy, just hotlapped and heatsoaked.

That's sounds pretty typical for a standalone tune on an '11 V6 from what I've heard and read, too. A tad more air and some tune adjustments and that will likely come up a few more HP.
Custom tunes on the 05-09's didn't hurt fuel mileage with the exception of those that couldn't keep their foot out of it. No reason to suspect the '11 will respond any different.

Wow, I like the claims and the tune numbers, but...I don't understand locking the trans in 4th.....I posted over there to see if I can get an answer on this 4th gear lock thing. Until then, I'm suspicious, but really hopeing there is something to this espicially since its an AT, & 2.73 tune...............Best regards Plum

This is a 6-speed auto that you move to 1,2,or 3 and will stay locked in that gear.
To get into 4th you move lever to D, now how do they lock it in 4th.
The new 6-speed stick they would use 5th gear as that is 1-1, not 4th gear. Not a 5-speed.
