Ok ok...sorry for the delay. Videos are up! But before that, I just wanted to say a big thank you to JDM, particularly Jim Jr and Nick, and also to Jim Sr who wrote the tune.
JDM, just like Hypermotive, is another example why they will get REPEAT business from me. From the get go, they were very responsive and accommodating, right when I just called them to simply ask about what options I had to upgrade my current magnuson kit. They were very friendly, patient, and ultra quick to get back to me. The WHOLE time, they remained this way...not just until they got me to BUY their stuff. Sadly, that is not the case for other BIG name companies that frequent this site. Those of you who know me know EXACTLY what I mean and what companies I am talking about. They will never get my business. And reputation, good or bad, spreads like wildfire, especially through mouths like mine. If you do good, people will hear. If you do bad, well, people will still hear.
So with that, kudos again to JDM. Big props.
What happened since yesterday:
1st tune:
They accidentally included the Intake Air Temp Sensor 2 (IAT2) in the tune. And it threw a CEL, POO098, which was IAT2 Circuit High. We thought it was a disconnected MAF/sensor, so I checked that, then cleared the DTC. Went for a drive…logged idle, cruise, sent back to JDM for testing, and all was good.
They gave me the green light for the WOT runs. I did em, but unfortunately, after 3k rpm, it felt like I was on 4 cylinders. Uh oh. Sent them the data, and after discussing a bit, they found the IAT2 issue I mentioned above, and sent me a conservative tune taking that out.
2nd tune:
Received it late yesterday, loaded it, and ran the same tests… felt MUCH better but I was not allowed to go over 5k rpm. So I could tell there was more power now… so I sent the logs back, and they wanted me to do WOT now. So I did that this morning. Felt MORE alive, but I could tell it was still limited… I was starting to get concerned, I admit.
After sending the data logs back, I confirmed with JDM that they purposely "capped" the tune to make sure I was safe. In retrospect, I was so pleased they did this. They really were thinking ahead and had safety as their utmost importance. All the new data looked good. The IAT2 error initially, was limiting throttle voltage…the computer sensed it, and it was protecting itself.
3rd tune:
This morning they gave me the FINAL tune. This is the one that once they knew it was safe, they are giving me the "real" tune. Same process. Now I go WOT.
HOLY BUCKETS. My car just came alive. The best way to explain it is, when compared to my stock Magnuson tune and setup, this new JDM tune (paired with all the mods) is:
MORE RESPONSIVE.
MORE LINEAR.
MORE POWER (of course)…
but best of all… SMOooooooooooooooooth…. Buttery smooth. I mean, I just go. I didn't realize the stock magnuson was this herky jerky until I tested out JDM's new tune.
I was SO happy. I data logged again, then sent it back and got the thumbs up.
My car drives like a dream now. I just came back from another ride…. I'm all giddy.
The new set up along with the tune, is just FANTASTIC. I know I'm probably only making maybe 550 to 575 whp, now, but I'm ok with that. JDM is conservative, but a smarter conservative. I love that.
So again, here's the pic of the setup, and a few vids I made….
Watch how quickly boost builds… and how smooth it is. I'm at 9.5-10psi now… :devil:

Haha.. Thanks guys. Yes, it's a lot quicker than before. I can't believe the tune and the setup did all that. It's so smooth now. Power comes on more linearly, and throttle tip in is where it's at.
But yes I meant "only" that much power compared to 900-1000whp gtr's for example

Also... My halo fogs are almost done! These are from my vendor, a first for them. So they will have this on their site.

for a Mustang though, I think you are in the effin sweet spot....you can chew through a set of rubber with out breaking a sweat and you can also race and put the power down very very well....if you head to 900whp on the Mustang, am not sure how well you will be able to put the power down unless of course you run some drag slicks for daily...

I'd get a Mustang solely for the great gas mileage

My latest photos… I finally added some watermarks lol. Some of you guys have been bugging me about that. Drove downtown today on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Enjoyed my new mods, smooth and immediate throttle response (thanks JDM!), Corsa crescendo resonating the buildings and walls, and of course photography. An all out great day.
Marilyn was detailed, and topped off with Dodo Supernatural, followed by FK425 spray.
Photos taken via Nikon D60, Raw. The 1st photo, I was able to coerced America's finest to allow me to use their garage as a backdrop

It's just crazy when I go to car shows locally, and there's cars there (mustangs, and others) that make my car seem like a Prius compared to theirs. You know? I know the rule is, there will always be a faster and better car than yours. lol. But yes I'm very happy with mine. Wouldn't get rid of her for the world.

I know that this isn't the point of this thread but what are your thoughts on the 2015 Mustang? Have you thought about trading this thing in for a new one?
