Gearhead - upgraded!

[MHW100]

I realize everyone is a fanboy of their own particular tuner but Matt Robinson is just a prince of a guy in my estimation. So glad he is vested in this platform. I've been very fortunate to experience his diligence, work ethic and commitment to maximizing the performance of the platform and in particular my car.

Finally, after all of the Covid related shop delays resulting in not getting my boost leaks fixed Matt has been able to really get his turbos to make my car fly. His initial turbo tune felt great but his recent R & D has yielded some additional settings that have made a tangible impact on performance. I don't know what the tweaks are but I certainly feel them in the seat of my pants. If you are GH tuned I suggest paying Matt his reasonable and nominal revision fee to get upgraded if its applicable to your equipment.

Unfortunately my dyno appointment was cancelled but intend on getting this beast tested now that the car feels so much more powerful. Hopefully I can get in soon but again Covid seems to be making things cautious for the shops and their staff/customers here.

In any case, thanks to Matt for spending so much time, late nights and revisions to getting my my car right. Awesome experience with GH customer service and gear!

Matt is my favorite tuner as well. Great guy and amazing r&d

If he lived near me, I would feel obligated to wash his car every month or shovel his driveway in the winter when it snowed.

I'm setting the over/under at 510, sorry... I think I missed my calling as a Vegas odds setter, not because I'm good at it but because I love to do it.

GH tune, GH turbos Gen 3, GH intercooler, XDI-35 HPFP, PPE catted downpipes, EPP Gen 2 dual air intake, EPP noise maker delete, MSD ignition coils, Dicunzolo Gen 2 torque mount, Reische 170 tsat, 542 plugs @ .026, 3 bar map, LMS catch can, Ford Flex under tray

I honestly don't know but Matt would and I believe there is a dyno chart in this forum. I seem to recall it was for an E30 tune on Matt's car. With the above equipment I believe the E30 tune adds about 30 hp but I'll leave it to Matt and the experts on this forum to correct me. As mentioned this was my reason for wanting to get get mine on the dyno.

LOL. I know what you mean. He adds a new dimension to the words dedicated professional.

If you get the #air/min and multiply by 10 its really close to your flywheel horsepower.

Lol. That's the thing that put me into a nice internet gambling hole a long time ago.

Did you install your turbos your self or did you take it somewhere

No I'm a CPA which defines me as being incapable and incompetent to touch a wrench haha. I had Ford do it. The dealer has some really keen performance guys and the price was very reasonable for the labor involved.

I marvel at what some of you guys do in your garages. Wish i had your skills.

If this wasn’t my daily i would be more incline to do them myself. Plus i used to working in a shop with my tools. Doing heavy stuff in my backyard is annoying i got some horror stories lmao

Based on this metric its producing 520 HP.

That's probably close, figure in about 23% drivetrain loss to get wheel horsepower.

 

[High on Ethanol]

I'm showing 68# but I don't know what my drivetrain loss is....i can't find any good numbers for it. Every site varies it seems lol

So 680 at the crank. E30? I didn't realize that tune added so much more hp.

Different vehicle. E85 F150


I was getting around 57lbs on e30 with my sho with the bolt ons listed in sig.

570 hp at the crank? So that is about 50 more than on gas or 40ish at the wheels.

Yeah I'd say that's probably about right for e30 vs gas. Maybe some others can chime in on that aspect. I never ran 93 long enough to compare.

Never dynoed, but I'd put it right around 'oh my gosh' and a little below 'holy ****' in terms of difference from 93.

Best run full weight on dragy with e30 was 12.04, best run full weight on auto octane tune with 93 was 12.48, pretty sure I could have gotten even quicker on the AO tune, but I rarely run it so I don't have many passes with it.
