JMS Boost Max dyno?

I recall reading that Ford can check to see the number of times the ECU is flashed, and if it doesn't match their records, they'll know it has had an unauthorized modification at one point. I can't confirm whether this is true or not, but sounds logical...

Ford has memos to service departments on how to identify modded vehicles

LOL, I was editing to address that above.  Good question for AJP...is there a place to reset the flash count when doing the tune?

You are looking for a set of cliff notes to tune your car..if it was that simple then it wouldnt take people so long to develope good tunes

But it is simple in a way.....set you driver demanded torque tables to what you want, then raise your torque limits to what is appropriate for the new torque that will be delivered.....alot of the things such as fueling is the same as old mustangs

It's been 7 years since EcoBoost debuted, I figured a set of Cliffs Notes would have been made by now. The EcoBoost 3.5L is taking on a different direction with the new 2017 F-150 engine, and there are new Ford GTDI engines coming out like the Lincoln-exclusive 3.0, so I assume the 3.5L EB should have been thoroughly explored by now.

What torque limits are you raising to match the changes in the driver demanded torque table? The speed density airflow model looks very different from older Mustangs, or are you talking about the commanded lambda/base fuel tables?

The fuel tables are similar....desired lambda at wot....and fuel fuel open loop etc will let you decide when to go open loop

And there are tons of tq limit tables to change....axle tq limit, ptu tq limit , trans tq limit. Clutch tq limit . Boost limit. Lspi limit, spark limits....there maybe be over 100 at least
