GT500R Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 The guy i spoke with said they adjust the tip in with the tune, then suggested the throttle enhancer. also, asked him about the AGS and intercooler grill to see if they could tune that out. i was told they have done it for the 2.3 mustang tune, but not the edge, and that they would talk to the tuner and get back to me (yea right) 1. Sounds like an upsell for something they can tune 2. They should be able to code out the AGS, but you'll get a response sometime next year I assume At least you asked!

They should be able to code out the AGS, but you'll get a response sometime next year I assume At least you asked! here's one for you.. how long do you footbrake? maybe i'm not building boost long enough at launch? or maybe too much boost and blowing the tires off without realizing it. I usually hold from the time we both finish staging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 You are holding it too long. I hit boost on 1st light and full go on 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually hold from the time we both finish staging. Anywhere from 1 - 2 seconds. Boost at that low rpm isn't hard to build with your foot on the brake, that isn't your issue. Footwork is good? As in you aren't creating a delay from when you let off the brake vs. mashing the gas right? Edited December 22, 2017 by GT500R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDTMF Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I figured i'd spin out of the hole so i kept the launches at 2k-2300 or so. not sure about the fuel blend. I bought torco octane booster to bring it up some, but left the funnel at home. stupid mistake! There should be a funnel in the spare tire compartment :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I took the spare tire out, that's all for weight reduction. I did add a torque wrench to make sure the wheels don't come off as I swapped them in that morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best run on 100 octane is 13.12 and that is with the truck gutted (no seats, no spare, nothing in the hatch area) and a DA of 475. I had no wheel hop, and the video doesn't show any kind of spin off the line. I have the same tune. somethings gotta give on these numbers.

Mikula Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 oh, and for the record, I'm not saying your edge did not run those numbers. clearly it did. but there is more to this story somewhere. tell your secrets! Once I get a 12 second pass from mine, I'm done. I have a drag car in the garage for all my other speedy needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 My only power adder mods are LMS v3 tunes, 93 and race plus KN drop in filter. 93 fuel gave me a 13.1, then magic octane booster got me the 12.79. all other mods are aimed at consistency and reducing wheel hop.

snmjim Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 SpecialK & I are looking for someone within reasonable driving distance to Maryland with a 2016-2018 Edge Sport with an LMS v3 Tune that we can meetup with to do some Tune comparatives. We're also soliciting anyone that used an Unleashed Tune but switched to LMS & why? Would appreciate a prompt response to assist us with deciding who we should use for tuning when we install modified Turbos...;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snox801 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Have any of you had lms give you a e30 tune? I had them to one for my brother in laws 2.7 and it was a huge increase over the 93 tune. Not sure it would beat 100 oct but Ive never had any luck getting good power out of any octane boost compared to an e blend or ms109. Hell with these time you are getting I may trade the new 2.0 I got for a 2.7 and get a e30 tune topped with meth injection from Alky. Should be able to shave some decent time off with meth as the ic is heat soaking soon and meth would really lower those temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we'd ask that much of you...lol Maybe meet halfway or we come as far as you'd be comfortable with. Not much incentive other than we're in negotiations with LMS to possibly start teaming with them on site in Detroit to assist with further development of the Tune beyond the stock Edge Sport i.e. Turbos and more... They informed us that their boxed Edge Sport Tunes were developed from experience with the 2.7 on other platforms but no specific Edge Sport hands on therefore, having us show up and having them Dyno Tune will allow them the detailed data they'd need to take the Tune further. Therefore, the incentive would be that LMS will be in a position to offer better Tunes for stock Edge Sports in addition to going further with HiPo Mods. Not a direct incentive but a FEF members benefit as a whole... Edited July 10, 2018 by snmjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 You said 16-18 model year...that cut. I can meet you guys at Atco, that's a 90 mile trip for me. Next availability is like September 2nd for a weekend or I have to take a day off mid week... Either way, I will be running 112 octane going easy on no one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
