HotLap Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Most of us have experienced the drop in power when our GT500's get hot (Ford sets the computer to retard the ignition timing so you won't damage the enigne with perdetonation, pinging, etc.) Does anyone know if the various tunes for these cars (EVO, DamaChips, etc.), address that and perhaps "correct" it a bit - so we don't have quite the amount of timing drop when running hot? I was reading the annual Hot Lap or whatever Car and Driver calls there annual track event and they noticed the GT500 dropped quite a bit more hp when hot than any of the other cars tested (Porsche, Corvette, Lotus, etc.).......

Justin00Stang Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 With my tune the power delivery is more constant and less noticeable, but you can't completely get away from the air getting hotter and having to retard timing. Turbo and SC cars are most sensitive to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
