Very smooth curve that Stu bet it feels like a n/a engine.

How far will you go for tuning these and have you had any mustangs in yet?

Interesting project though... if you pull the RDU fuse it reverts to full power FWD mode. I wonder if that would work fine? Or would it put up a fight?

For those not familiar with the 2.3 Ecoboost. Look at this power curve.

Out of interest why are the readings done in nm and ps?

Hi Paul,
We use those figures for most new cars because thats exactly what new cars are rated in normally. PS and NM.

ft/lb and BHP are a bit old school nowadays.

The 4WD system is really tricky to dyno. Its easier to just put it into Fords built in dyno mode and run it FWD. More details here:

Just read that link thanks Stu very interesting stuff.
I am sure in time you will be able to crack the other issues.

If installing in a sierra i can see the intercooler pipework being a ball ache and very long.....
