GT500R

Well it's only been 7 weeks since diagnosed and still no call from the dealership... hopefully my email to Ford won't go unnoticed. But you never know.....

No idea, I think they are 3-5 psi more then stock, but I don't have a gauge or a good obd device to understand.

They send the tuner, I need to pull information from the car, then they send over the tunes I want - 87 / 89 / 91 / 93. They have towing tunes also. I am not sure if they do some sort of e-tune type of thing, I will ask though! Generally they said they want to have the car in person (Corey helped with this) to tune. Thanks!

Ah, gotcha. I would say a more prepped surface or stickier tires would def. get that 0-60 down!

Thanks guys! How so Dave?

Hey guys, So based on the previous topic of VBOX tests I have done - http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19015-vbox-tested-0-60-vs-rpm-launch/ http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18909-vbox-tested-drive-vs-sport-0-60/ I really wanted to get a test done to understand how much you can gain from just a tune. Specs - 2015 Edge Sport Livernois 93 Tune Winter Wheel Set Up Miles = 4300 1/4 tank of 93 octane 48* F All tests done with traction control off and Sport Mode. I used my old school Scan Gauge (like 2004 era...) to understand RPM when launching. Also note that all runs done on a private road - not a track. Took a couple videos of the scan gauge to see IAT change over the run. To be honest, it didn't go up at all during 0-60, it actually went down on the runs interestingly enough.... Test Notes - Runs were performed in the order above, car is extremely consistent (last 3 runs were estimated RPM) - 1500 RPM is not as great where it used to be pretty decent with the stock tune - 2000 RPM is the sweet spot (maybe 2200?) - 2300 RPM spun ALL FOUR TIRES and it showed.... I assume with a better street set up that I would grab a really good 0-60. - Best 1/8 mile time (only one of them was 8.7 @ 81 mph - last run of the night) - The one 91 Octane Tune I had was 5.408 - The best 93 Stock Tune I had was 5.976 - The 1 foot roll out average is 4.9 (what magazines use to test), best of 4.8! This tune took off .806 seconds off my best 0-60 and I must say I am impressed, I can't wait to see what downpipes / intercooler pipes / intake does (maybe 0-60 in 4.8?). Thanks Livernois Motorsports, can't wait to see how the car performs when you tweak the tune later on down the road! -GT500R

Still waiting for someone at Ford or the Ford Dealership to get back to me...............

Appreciate you taking the time to help with getting a tune developed! If I could data log and send them info I definitely would.

Oh, forgot to add two things. -Stock rim had - 20X8.0J +52.5mm imprinted on the inside of the rim. -This rim and tire combo save 6lbs each side. Stock rim/tire (20inch) weigh 67 lbs and aftermarket weighed 61 lbs.

My winter wheel option. Focal F06 black option (18 inch) Blitzzak DM-V2 (245/60/18) I like the look. Plus the tires make the speedo barely off (revs per mile is 0.2% off)!

Nope, just some prelim stuff to see what I could get off the cuff. Tested on the road (private ) When I get the 93 tune loaded up I will do another 1K / 1.5K / 2K / Full throttle tests to see which is fastest.

So I have been running the 91 octane tune for 2 days now..... Part throttle response very good. Shifts are firm and aggressive, remind me of my DSG in my GLi, quick quick quick. First and second gear rip - second is IMPRESSIVE to say the least, like very impressive. 3rd is better but I agree, it feels kinda flat to me too. NOW, I did a couple tests just to see what the 91 octane tune does with 0-60 as I didn't have 93 in the car, so I ran the 91 tune. Here is what it came back with.. 4100 miles Sport mode Traction control OFF 52* out 1500 rpm launch 0-60 = 5.408 seconds (which is .568 seconds faster then my fastest run in stock mode 93 octane - 5.976). 0-60 (1 ft rollout) = 5.066 Now I am not sure Corey feels the same, but I feel like something weird (that flat third gear) is going on for some reason.... the reason I say this is the 0-50 mph time is 4.0 seconds flat, then takes almost 1.4 seconds just to go 10 mph (50-60) which seems odd to me.... maybe I need to mess with my testing a bit more, but I figure the time above will hold a couple people over until I do a 93 octane test with different launches. Once I run out of the 91 octane, I will fill up with 93 octane perform a full report - I would expect around 5.1-5.2 0-60 depending on how the tune was developed and easily 0-60 with 1 foot roll out in the 4.9 second range!

MyCalibrator arrived, strategy code literally sent 15 minutes after arrival. Hoping Livernois can get that tune out before the weekend. If not, Monday will be test and tune with the VBOX regarding 0-60 and maybe some 40-80 runs...

Yes, and svt forums, audizine, vwvortex, etc etc etc

So an update from my end.... 4 weeks later after I was told parts were ordered I had to call 5 times and wait several days for just ONE returned phone call for the status of my cooled seat issue, which the service advisor said inpromise to call tomorrow with an update and guess what, still hasn't since Thursday!!!. I then emailed the service manager, director, and owner Sunday night to complain about the lack of response and still haven't heard back from them!!! Is this Ford customer service? Who is the Ford rep on the this board I can escalate to?

Exactly what I was thinking, run vbox while at track.

Saw that, then ordered that. Be here on Thursday! Then hopefully they can get my tune set up by Friday!

It is based off of multiple GPS sensors and is what most major car magazines use to measure 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. The technology is well within not 10-20 ft, I have the google maps to prove it knows what side of the street I am on, this isn't an iPhone app http://www.caranddriver.com/features/do-inexpensive-performance-meters-work-feature http://www.bimmerboost.com/showthread.php?44719-11-9-119-VBOX-vs-Drag-Strip-comparison-335XI I am in no way saying that your Edge is slow, just that the DA could have caused a lower mph then expected (me at least). Hopefully they can release this tune so others can enjoy the power.

But either way congrats on the fastest Edge Ecoboost!

Surprised based on other tests and my own (I was around 98 mph with vbox). But that is why I asked DA as I assume it wasn't ideal. Although I agree 7 mph is good, there would be gains just from going from a hot summer day to a cold winter night alone, which is why I asked about DA.

Nice run, surprised the mph is only 101. Were both your runs done in "Drive" instead of "Sport"? Makes me wonder if it could have been even faster! Any idea what the DA was? Thanks.

Any update on the track numbers?

Traction control was on for the runs, didn't notice the light come on as any point in time, my "private track" isn't the worse road, but isn't the best. In "drivers assist" I believe in on the left hand side of the gauges...

Hey guys, So based on the previous topic of VBOX test sport vs. drive -> http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18909-vbox-tested-drive-vs-sport-0-60/ (which still holds true after retesting tonight) I wanted to understand what the best 0-60 would be from an RPM launch perspective. Specs - 2015 Edge Sport 100% stock with 2800 miles on the clock Rune performed in SPORT with 1/2 tank of 93 octane I didn't catch the exact DA, but was around 55* and close to sea level. First run was in Drive just a a warm up, then two runs were made there after in each direction and valid best runs were taken to compare Results below - Now if you are like me, you said.... wait how did the lowest RPM get the fastest? And I thought the same... so I dug into the graphs and what I remember feeling when launching. I remember 1500 wasn't as bad as 2000 rpm in terms of smoothness when I let go of the brakes. It's like the car jumped for a split second, had to catch up and then go. 1000 rpm was just smooth, no catching up, no small bog... So I checked the graphs (on the right side of the pic above). And as you can see, the green line (Lateral G's) goes to the first high point quicker in the 1000 rpm graphs (the line is the same size to compare them across) then the other two runs... interesting... So conclusion is 1000 rpm is the best launch point for a 2015 Edge Sport based on the data I have. Questions, comments, etc. welcome. Now I am thinking the next test can be a 87 octane vs. 93 octane. Or a tune if Livernois ever releases it!!! :P

Except the 50i, as they will make you feel like you bought the 2.0L ecoboost engine and not the 2.7L
