Anyone know a shop down here that knows 03-04 Cobra's very well?
Alpha sounds like what the guy was telling me.
I called torq miramar today for a quote on dyno tune. I don't think I'll even need one I will b installing headers tho and if I change to offroad xpipe I will need the tune. So torq tells me they can only tune it if I hav a programmer which is bull Bc the car has a tune now flashed to PCM. So thy say I hav to buy a programmer for them to install tune and programmer tune package is 750. Give me a break man. They said they don't hav the software to flash my PCM and so from the math u can c they want 400 for the tune. So I guess torq sucks balls.
Also just called power by the hour. 600 for tune, they can flash to PCM directly. Damn is this expensive or what?
I got my car back from Blow By Racing a few days ago and they charged me 300 for a tune but I got a few of other things done. They charged me for some things that they didn't do in full but the tune was cheap for the going rate so I didn't complain and what i wanted to have fix wasn't the biggest deal in the world but still I got charged a $120 bucks but I understand they needed my car out to make room for another client spending more which I understad to an extent and in no way did they ever say this to me but I do understand how things work at performance shops from being personal friends with an owner of one.
Oh cool so blow by racing does do good work on our cars. Its a friend of a friends shop I haven't talked to in a very long time. in our crew the inside joke was that he named it that for the blow by that would result from their work. Just a jab in the ribs tho we all knew he knew his shit.
300 is sick, how is the tune tho? Does the car run great? Any power changes? Do they use a mustang dyno? Thanks for the news snake!
I told them I wasn't looking for a power monster even though I have a Kenne Bell 2.2 with a built motor. My car pushed 525whp on 15lbs on a very conservative tune. I had a 800whp Supra and the car was stupid fast but the car would always have some stupid random issue all the time. I bought a KB Cobra because of the wine it makes but wanted something dead nuts reliable and thats what they gave me. Good guys and I will use them again.
I don't know anything about eco boost mustangs, but id call around to other shops see what they say. If they give similar responses then its probably true.So I'm excited to say I am a first time mustang owner as of last Friday! I've begun my search for a mustang shop to do minor performance upgrades like a new intake , tuning, down pipe etc...
From this forum I saw a shop called power by the hour, so I visited them today. The gentlemen in the office I spoke with told me there's nothing I can do to increase the HP on the Ecoboost due to Fords built in restrictions. I told him I was interested in a new a CAI and new tuning, and that I've seen online all these great gains from 25hp to 50hp and torque increases of up to 70. We went back and forth pleasantly and he went as far as saying they upgraded a customers Ecoboost with a bigger turbo and Dyno tested it and only had a 5hp gain, so I was wasting my time. He also said I would lose HP. Now I don't know what to believe. I was pretty excited, I've seen all of the American muscle videos but now im deflated...any advice? Is he right?
