gain with only a tune?

A friend of mine has just bought an E55 05 stock, he want to put only a tune cause it is his daily car, so he was asking me if he will feel the difference in just a tune? how many wheel hp he will gain? how many cars he will pull on a stock one race.

tune only I put down 416/457 on a mustang dyno, which is ~440wheel on a dynojet. So ~15-25 whp gain from tune only. Well worth it imo

I put down 411/456 on a dynojet stock. So an extra 30whp doesnt sound bad.

My tune only with Eurocharged lowered my quarter on average about .25 and my trap speeds increased substantially from 105 to 117. Some of that trap speed increase was due to lack of traction on the 60'. IMO, well worth the price of entry. It really wakes up the car.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but Dyno's are truly a bag of
tune only I put down 416/457 on a mustang dyno
On the suposed Heartbreaker of ALL dyno's vs the ever puffed up DynoJet, w/STOCK E55 the results are shockingly equal
I put down 411/456 on a dynojet stock.
(Average STOCK E55k's put down 450-470 rwtq on ANY DynoJet, Heartbreaker Mustang Dyno should read 350-360 rwhp 400-410 rwtq on STOCK E55)

All in the know that have had multi-cars tuned ONLY, gain @ most 20 rwhp period, w/OUT raising the BOOST (you 55k guys need larger pulley swap to increase boost/HP/TQ significantly) Tune only increases throttle response/ A/F ratio/add timing etc to add few ponies, the real power is in the Tune/Pulley combo for you kat's

Peak numbers would normaly render anywhere from 25 to 30whp and 30+ torque much more throughout the midrange along with better fuel economy and just all around drivabilty is better

There are a few more things that are touched that allows boost to change on a stock car and the torque manangement is another thing is addressed in the tune. But the pulley tune combo will be where its at

Here is a video for you guys.

all i know is a gt500 mustang with 500hp put down 384, so 416 on the same dyno is good enough for me

Even as a daily driver putting on a pully is not gonna change its reliability. Just go with a 172 or so and he will be ok.

I can't wait to address the torque management issues with the new tune...basically it's like having a leash around your beast and stops the car from full potential.

Do the tune with Eurocharged. It's completely worth it.
