I don't think so! :D

I want to see what kind of numbers it will put down with intake, CBE, and tune.

And then with a catted downpipe and with an off road downpipe.

Still waiting on Cobb to finish their development. Steeda has a CAI in development but no word on when it will be ready for sale.

That's a ridiculous looking tq curve. Doesn't look to have the breathing issues up top either.

It kinda does. People running it at the strip are finding that early shifting (before 6000 rpm) is yielding better results than redlining it.

6K is reasonable though. The MS3 runs out of air like 1200 rpms before redline.


Any idea why they only tracked to 6K on the Focus? Redline is 6.5K right?

m4a1mustang 11-10-2012 08:11 PM

Yep redline is 6500.

Here is Unleashed Tuning's stock vs. tune graph:

tune looks great. looks like the 6K valley goes away too :tup:

m4a1mustang 11-10-2012 08:24 PM

Yep. Just waiting on Cobb so we have someone to compare it to!

Good thing I don't own the car. She wants to get this one right now but I am telling her to be patient and see if Cobb has better results. I know they are working on tuning solutions as well as an intake and exhaust.

So far our favorite exhaust for the car is the Magnaflow CBE. Best sound of everything out right now... it's sort of a funky sounding engine so it requires a good bit of sound tuning. Can't just fab something up in a muffler shop and sound good.

I was just looking at all the factory tours of all the super sports cars on the front page and I thought of this enlightening video...

A huge difference in regards to Torque over HP usually indicates a gutless motor without the turbo. Torque gets you to the race, HP wins it.
