- Going from my Cobb OTS 93 octane tune to a custom Stratified flash tune. I don't really notice the difference just yet but they said it will learn different parameters so well see how it ends up. I will say that the car idles much more smoothly, and If I can claim it felt like boost came on faster.
I'm gettin a FreekTune Next week, hope to see a big difference. Just changed spark plug's to a one step colder plug and put a WAY stiffer rear motor mount. The motor mount alone made a huge difference!!! Keep the vid's comin'!!
Horsepower Junkies 208 wheel hop isn’t as bad is it
I finally hit -1.00 on my Octane ratio! I think stratified said that means there's room for more POWER!
I love this tune on my car. I went from the OTS stage 1 91 tune. Big difference, better drivability and timing corrections look much better.
I did not pay for the log reviews
Did you do it with a full stock ST?
I have an agency power catback w/ the tri-tip for my st and it sounds amazing
Im just running Cobb OTS stage 1 because I'm cheap, but for ign correction the most I get for each cylinder is positive 4, usually after a small pull all 4 will have a Max of positive 4. Positive correction is fine but if you get negative contact the tuner
Why do you push the clutch in and free wheel, before you turn or go round a bend. Your just breaking the drive to the wheels.
I do it too. How I was taught to drive a manual.
Make a pull already!!!!!
Ok so I’m gonna be that car noob. So I have a MRT axle back and a Cobb air intake. This tune will work right? Or do I have to have a full cat back exhaust?
When you order a stratified tune you state what mods you have and it’s written to that spec, so yes it would work
@brendost what part of the country do you live in? I love the area. Can't tell. Would like to know thanks.

Since you had the COBB Stage 1 tune before stratified. Coming out of first is it easier? I noticed cobb stage 1 tune made the throttle very “sensitive” compared to stock. I was wondering if it feels the same way with the new tune?
william delgado i did notice I always had issues shifting when using cobbs map, stratified felt much easier to drive if that helps any.
Definitely my dude! always gave it way to much gas coming out of first. If i wanted to go back to stock i just uninstall i believe correct? Also, when getting Stratified tuned how long did it take?
william delgado flash tunes just take about a day, the custom tunes will take months because of a waiting list
Thats what you have correct? a flash tune?
william delgado yeah, they aren't meant to squeeze the most out of the car, really just stratified version of an ots tune, but they feel much better than Cobb in my opinion
What laptop you use or what link
To plug up the programmer with the stratified tune, do you necessarily need to dyno the car immediately after install?
no you dont need to dyno at all with the flash tunes, they typically make them so they provide power at safe levels. though its always wise to do pulls and datalog so they can tweak if needed
You should be watching all of your ignition corrections!
I am it is on there now.
With any map give it about 100 miles b4 u notice any gains.. not only tht u wont notice to much on a 91 map.. get on e30 and see how it feels
Do you have more map slots or just the one with the crackles ? I just installed mine and Cant seem to find any map slots
They do it a bit differently now from when I originally purchased this. When you get the crackle tune they give you 2 files, one for the crackles and one without, youll have to reflash to turn them off or on. You can order multiple fuel trims or boost levels and have them put it in different slots but they seem money hungry now and charge out the ass for it
Did you get your tune refine?
No i never did.
Do you have a used accessport v3 you can sell me?
Have you had any warranty issues with this? Could i wipe the tune away and return it to stock and vice versa to retain the warranty when the car has to go in?
JohnPlaysGames I personally haven't had to do this, but I am told that is what you do.
JohnPlaysGames no you can't ford can tell how many times your cars ecu has been mapped
If your motor blows you want get the warranty once you mod car
Mountune gives you warranty but you need ford technician to install it.
So tunes want blow motors I really about to get a st and I want to put all bolt on before tunes but will I be ok with tunes on stock.
Travis Hunt if you putting Installing all boltons you need to tune, especially if going catless or bigger intercooler. You can damage the engine if it’s not properly calibrated.
BrendoST you think the tunes will be safe with out messing motor up I am familiar with cars I just scared to blow motor and ford bot being warranty friendly.
there is always a risk when tuning an engine, I have been running 40,000 miles on a tuned car with no issues as of yet (knock on wood). As long as the tune is written properly to be safe for the engine, you should be fine.
Which boomba bov do you have or if anyone knows.
When this video came out they only made the one nonajustable
What you using to mount your AP? Stock Cobb mount?
Yup stock mount with some stronger double sided tape
BrendoST you still using stratified? Did you ever do pops and crackles with the stock downpipe with a straight pipe? I have my tune in email but I’m away for work.
@@XeSurge i still use stratified, i have done the crackles with stock dp but its not recommended as youll burn out the cat faster. As of now i dont use crackles anymore, they were honestly getting annoying lol.
BrendoST were they noticeable with stock DP? I know it’s not recommended but I wasn’t really getting any pops. I have the Cobb mount just no tape thinking about stopping at like ace or something what kind did you get. Cause I don’t wanna spend $70 on a a pillar mount.
@@XeSurge yeah you should hear them fine, maybe a bit more muffled than normal but theyll be there. Just a stronger 3m tape. Advanced auto should have it
Hey man, I actually just got a 16 focus st and im kind of upset because the black panels on the outside of the door are all scratched up small little scratches. @0:06 are the panels i'm talking about, are yours scratched? you can only see it in the light...
Riley it's funny you mention that, they aren't scratched but it does look like the paint is thin, in the right light you can see bits of bare metal under the paint. My dealer said it's probably warranted and they will repair the panels if u go early enough
Well im actually not talking about the paint work BUT i do know from reading around that the paint on the ST is super light and prone to what you mentioned.
Im reffering to the plastic panells that run vertically in between the front and back doors. There are two of them.
Riley I've never noticed scratches on mine,
McGuires scratch-x
Mine have lots of swirls in them not quite scratches. I did a light polish on them and it helped a lot. Just one of the struggles of any black car
Anyone see that mazi though
yeah
i get +4 on the correction. cobb stage 1. the higher, the better for power. if it goes - ve its retarding timing because of a fuel issue.
More specifically, it's pulling timing because the ECU is detecting detonation (knock).
Can u switch between tunes with pop and no pops?
rroadrider15 yes, but it requires flashing a different tune. Stratified used to give you 2 tune files, one with, one without. Not sure if they still do so.
Hey brendo can you run this stock ?
Lisandro Gomez I would at least get a high flow air filter but yes. As long as you have an access port you can run a stratified tune.
BrendoST thanks for the reply.
I mean really, when a 38k camaro SS can spank a new GT350 and R in every aspect, except on interior comfort, something is wrong. And sadly, ford added dumb nostalgic turn signals onto the functional heat extractor vents, rendering them useless. Should have added 30-40 hp. Shucks, this new enigne is rated to 998 crank hp. The form Coyote was rated to 550 crank hp/475 rwhp, according the engineers. So there's no reason why we shouldn't have a 450+ hp 5.0... But as I hear, it will not be happening as EPA is starting to really crack down on performance cars starting this fall. So this is the beginning of the end of performance vehicles that aren't, Electric or drive themselves.
No way an SS can spank a New GT350..
Lolol dream land that an SS beats a 350...
Power to weight ratio though? I need specs.
Cause my ST spanks just bout anything that wants to dance 🤪
Time for Ford to stop being last on race day on the street. They're kicking butt on the track, but that doesn't translate to the showroom.
$50 isn't going to do much. Maybe 12-15hp and 20-25 tq. If that.
no buts it's a nice step up from the cobb ots tunes, of corse when I get to a point in my mods a pro tune would be what you would want.
MH motorVlogs Dude just fuck off.
My stock GTI will beat these tuned ST's. My GTI stock does 5.7 sec 0-60, the ST does 6.3-6.5 sec.. The tune might get you down to around 5.8-5.9 sec in the ST. I had a ST, traded it in. It was just a dawg in acceleration. Slow by today's standards and beaten by many lesser powered 4 cylinders. Heck, with a DP and tuned, in my former ST foc, I could not beat my 240 lb uncle in his new 400 miles on it, 2015 stock Kia Optima SX turbo. That's because the ST focus on 91 octane is rated at 236 hp, while ford rates it at 246 on 94-95 octane equivalent in the UK, and as a engineer told me, on 93 in the states, it's about 241 crank hp. Not 252 hp. So with my DP and the tune it was putting me at around 265 crank hp/290 tq. After selling fords for 10 years now, the brands performance line has gone soft. New 5.0 is no quicker than my 2012, not to mention a 200 lb weight gain in the new 5.0... Actual hp on those is 428 hp on 93 fuel and 418 on 91 and 402 hp on 87.... And I told ford thanks for an all new car that wallos in turns, handles worse, but improved ride comfort with the IRS. This is a mustang GT < Grand Touring car, so it's technically not in the sam class as camaro or challenger. It's becoming a luxobarge like Challenger. Which is sad. Ford use to make a nice light weight performance version of their sporty cars, but not anymore. The 5.0 LX sedan/aka notchback was 180 lbs lighter than a mid level GT coupe of same year. We want a 5.0 for the U,S., not the rest of the world. We need a light weight 5.0, no back seat, less sound deadening, etc. Bigger wheels and tires just adds more weight, reduces mpg's, slows acceleration, lengthens stopping distances. Ford really screwed up. Using a still, a 4 door sedan platform. The 2005-2014 cars were based on the big Lincoln LS sedan.
that's what the gt350 and gt350r are for. Lighter, and more track focused.
it's all personal preference I suppose, I enjoy my st especially coming from my 14 dart gt, I have no regrets buying it. I personally never liked gti's. but I don't sit here and bash on them.
no it doesn't lol
Michael Harris you can't even hit 60 in 2nd gear on those pathetic things
well you must have 0 to none shifting mt skills since you said you can not beat an OPTIMA sx... cheers!
