Never heard of such a tune. Can't you just turn overdrive off? Silly automatics.

If I didn't have to drive in the city so much I would love a standard.Anyway I received a tune last night under the heading 'Dynolock Tune' but I want to wait till I get the separator installed first before going to the dyno..Waiting for fittings. It's too wet for WOT anyhow. lol

So when I was doing a fit check for the length of hose for the separator. I found the PCV hose collapsed right on the curve before entering the intake. Like flat man!I am wondering how long this has been going on. This a Whipple hose with the stock Ford plastic piece inserted but leaves a soft end of about 4-5 inches. Has this been throwing off my tunes? I don't how if this has been since the Whipple install.But there were always techs looking for vacuum leaks when I was having problems. Anybody know if this could cause problems? I mean my car runs but is this doing damage?The separator kit is going in on Tuesday. Will Edelbrock braided -an10 stainless fuel line do the trick? Thanks

Update on my car. Got the Moroso separator in.Got the dynolock tune.Tune locks out the gears being able to shift down when you mash the gas. Put it on a Mustang Dyno. 325rwhp not bad considering the parasitic loss due to the auto tranny. And the percentage difference of the Mustang Dyno compared to a Dynojet Dyno.But the dyno graph went lean at 5300 RPM and My A/F shot up to 13.9. Got a fuel duty cycle test which showed my pump is toast. What is the limit of HP that a '06 Mustang GT stock fuel pump can handle? I wonder what burned out my pump could it be something to do with the power output? Anybody want to take a guess at what crank horse power my engine is putting out? Would a boost-a-pump be a good idea once I get the new stock pump.Don't want GT500 pump there might be a intercooler H.O. kit in my future. Help Please

The stock pump can handle into the 400's but shouldn't be pushed.
325 on a Mustang is pretty anemic and the car needs some fine tuning. You shoul dbe closer to to high 300s on an MD with that kit.

Get the intercooler and a 10 psi pulley and you'l make 450/450 with the right tune.

If a tuner is on the dyno with your car, they all will lock the tranny in 4th with some computer trick.

This kit is supposed to put out 400 rwhp.How could I get in the high 300s with an auto? wouldn't the tune be kind of scary? Mine is at 11.3 now. When you say the stock fuel pump can handle 400+ you mean 400 rwhp? Thx.

hey Daryl06, there's nothing wrong with
running a BAP with a OEM fuel pump. it
sounds like you're not quite ready to go
full blown HO right now, so at your current
power level you'll be fine with the BAP.

yes, Simon1 means rwhp.

i would think with a gen I whipple, 6 psi kit, you
should be in the 350 - 375 rwhp area with a
conservative tune.
