Had my buddy dyno/tune my car today.
Mods: Airaid CAI, 3 Bar MAP, plugs, 170 degree thermostat.

Mustang Dyno, HP tuners. Results:

337 AWHP
368 AWTQ

I'm shocked! Not bad at all for putting less than $1000 under the hood in a car that appears and sounds completely stock. Attached is a before/after from a baseline tune from Torrie.
 
Congrats on the numbers, and on a Mustang dyno no less. Just curious, any reason you tuned off of Torries base tune rather than finish the tune with him?

It was a spur-of-the-moment situation where I had the opportunity to jump on the dyno. My schedule is been so crazy lately with work/travel, as has my friend's with the shop. Mostly just timing, I wouldn't be able to do this until the end of summer otherwise and I was getting antsy!
 
The shop itself where the dyno is located is Performance Speed Shop in Addison, IL. The tune itself was performed by Matt Cater of 555 Motorsports.
 
Thanks, good to know if I want to dyno sometime.

The tune was done with HP Tuners? That's good to hear, I hope they continue to expand support on our platform.

I've often contemplated flashing my xsport to think it's a TT police interceptor. They up tune them for gear/armor. At the moment I'm too cheap for a real tuner computer but at work I have ford software and access to PCM cal files...  haven't done it yet though my lead was like.. eh if it messes it up u can just flash it back... he's also relocating to a facility where there's an SVT explorer project so more to follow for that I guess...

What proof do you have? Every police interceptor vehicle I've seen over the years is just as slow as the civilian counterpart in magazine tests. It's a common misconception that all police interceptor cars are tuned more than normal cars. Sure there are some specialty cop cars but the police interceptor package is nothing special, and never was.

What Ford software do you have....IDS? if that's the case you can't see the tune. You simply get the file to flash. That file could have changes that are as simple as an increased speed limiter and cooling settings and tire size.

I have IDS software and there are police interceptor items you can add to your car if you want but they are nothing exciting

I thought only Ford can gain access to IDS software,"Heck" even Jason over at PIMods does not have access and a dealer visit is required to install the AB fil..with IDS.  Z
 
Not IDS. I use DET and all the PCM files are on a secure ford server. Again. It was just kind of a 'I could, but I'm not sure what it would do' IDS has some options for the lock configurations and stuff but nothing for PCM.
 
The only interceptor I have seen run at the track was a 2013 sedan at the SHO gathering last year.  Guy was running 13.6 consistently in a bone stock car, I would have love to see what it weighed in at as the car was loaded since it was a demo car with ballistic panels and everything.  I thought I remember someone saying the gear ration was was different but I haven't been able to substantiate it.  It's also entirely possible it was just a factory freak.

Fords EPA certification application shows the PI with the same power/torque as the SHO and it shares the PP 3.16 final drive.

IIRC, the 3.39 is for the non-EB PIs

That was me! Ha. Stock at the time!
 
Ballistic panels? Armor? Are you guys sure that the intercepter a have this?

I know Ford has been toying around with adding bulletproof windows and ballistic panels to the police packages, but it was my impression they had not actually done it yet for production. Plus, even if already out in limited amounts, I was also under the impression that the cost was prohibitive for most departments.

I think most interceptors are just the sedans with better suspension and heavy duty use items like batteries and alternators. Maybe I'm wrong ...

It's from my understanding that only a certain amount of the PI are equipped with the 3.5 liter twin turbo,the rest have the standard 3.7 liter V6 which produces 305hp and 279 ib-ft of torque,here are a couple of links.  Z    http://assets.clickmotive.com/Customers/3/33425/CustomPage/11_NextGenPoliceIntercepBrochure2_lr.pdf      http://www.pro-gard.com/wp-content/uploads/FordPISedanProductGuide_HiRez.pdf BTW here's a cool article & video.    http://www.policeone.com/police-products/vehicles/Patrol/videos/178613519-Turn-Your-Doors-Into-Shields/
