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!
