X2I think you will be quite pleased once you get it back.
Still waiting guys. Due to relocating and distance I decided to switch shops for this mod . Sorry to say the tuner could not get the " tip in" on the mono blade to do anything but cause an error or " wrench light'. First he had to write a base tune which I was fine with. But I sat at the shop for 6 hours only to leave for home with my Twin Blade tune reinstalled and a big question as to why the heck I was doing this ? But now I'm invested in the SCJ Mono.
I returned to the shop that wrote the original tune. They've done the mono blade on other Mustangs and their response set my mind at ease. I was told all that would initiially be required after base pull is for the TB signal to be adjusted in their tune then look for tweaks for drive ability and any potential for power. . Install is 2 days ...this Thursday.
... Except after hours of repeated drive simulation he was simply NOT able to get the " tip in" to work smooth enough for me to drive the car home without an occasional Fail Safe. ...
Okay.....my SCJ mono blade experiment was not successful. First tuner in a highly reputable shop could not get the car to run. Period. After a full day I went back to the VMP Twin.
Weeks later I'm at my original tuner who got it running/ revving/idling within minutes after tweaking his custom tune .
Base pull was 680rwhp. Next SCJ pull 697rwhp with 3+ tq. Good - Nice !!
On the stab? It pulled straight as an arrow with no stumble, surge, waves in the power curve and even sounded different.
I loved it ! Except after hours of repeated drive simulation he was simply NOT able to get the " tip in" to work smooth enough for me to drive the car home without an occasional Fail Safe. Not Good. After another full day at a shop I drove back home on my VMP Twin and the brand new SCJ mono Blade back in bubble wrap in the box.
All I wanted was 1psi extra boost . Actually I got that and the rwhp numbers I hoped for. Sadly it seems the SCJ experiment for me in my area has reached it’s end. My new path for an extra 1-2psi boost will be a 10% ATI or IW crank pulley and if my 2.4 upper makes too much boost I’ll swap in a new 2.7 stock upper .
I ‘ve had the SCJ Mono Blade since middle of March so I doubt FRPP will allow me any refund .I felt it best to post these results here and on my own mono blade thread in the same format. I hope somebody who has a tuner in their area that can accomplish what we could not will view this as opportunity.
I will be posting “SCJ Mono Blade For Sale” on this forum and will simply ask for best offer.
PM's are welcome ->) !
