Will definitely be looking forward to this series a lot. What I will recommend is a shift kit for the tranny if you're looking for firm and not so lazy shifts, instead of bumping line pressure. That's the way I have my mercury set up. My shifts are firm and quick underload because of my adjusted accumulators and plate passageways, but my tune still has fairly stock pressures. I'm able to have great engagement and shift feel without bumping pressures.

did a dyno on my 07 Tahoe after I put a low lift cam in. Biggest mistake was tires were s rated. once I went to 127 mph I develop 3 big wrinkles not to mention my cats were getting too hot. So after 3 pulls I was done for the day. I only got 300 hp and forgot the torque values. Going to put long tubes on and delete the rear o2 Sensors and go with 93 octane. Eventually I want 450 at the wheel so I will need to install a pro charger to get that.

If you're looking for power, id add a turbo on it, port the intake and heads, put a set of headers on it, go with a slightly bigger set of injectors, add a cam, tune it by advancing timing and adding fueling, get the perfect AFR, tune the TCM to optimize the shift points, and run her on 93. Those 4.6s are stout bastards. They're akin to a Chevy 350 in the amount of beating and abuse they can take without giving any problems.

SCT is good stuff, I forget the model I had, but it came with their OBD-II scanner that would allow me to upload a tune or put it back to factory. I don't remember if I paid extra or if the one I got had the individual software for me to make my own tuning changes. I could change the air intake & MAF, injectors, trans shift points, lots of stuff if I wanted. It was nice to do simple stuff and not have to pay for another visit to the tuner. My(our) vehicles aren't going onto their website to get attention and more customers, they like the LS and Coyote vehicles with big dyno numbers or drag times for promotional needs.

@@FordBossMe it's really hard to Dyno a vehicle that won't stay in the 1:1 transmission gear. Manuals are best, old slush boxes need their special 2-1-2 gear selector move (or whatever it takes) to make the valve body stay in the preferred gear. You should drop the trans, and do your own valve body and spring refresh. I'm sure you can handle that in 20 minutes, I spent 2 hours because I was afraid of moving a check ball or losing it. 😁🤯

I predicted 203. You're right on par. Only way to really put some ass in the 2V without a blower or Nitrous is heads/ cam . E85 is a game changer. You'd have to get someone like Darrel Wyngard, John Lund or Rob Shoemaker to tune you at that point. That shit canned tune won't throw hardly any timing in the car for e85 and interested to see if there's any thrown in it with the 93. I'd go supercharger all day long. That engine can hold 450 rwhp.

Nice video. The HP & TQ numbers you got are about what the 4.6L 2V gets. Imagine how much worse they would have been if the hood was closed, like it is when you drive the car? I didn't care for the SCT tune for my '08 P71. The modified transmission pressures, shift points, and overall behavior were way too aggressive. The car would kick out sideways a little under moderate throttle in the rain or snow. In my opinion, Ford had the P71 transmission parameters set correctly, and far better than the civilian parameters. I would like to suggest that if you're running any rear end gear ration higher then 3.55, to get a rear lube modification for the transmission like - www.bcawebstore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=10 For the original AOD, Ford came up with an "Improved rear lube" kit that became standard starting in 1988.
