Welcome to a whole new car feel! Good luck on the better mpg to boot as the next month I bet your right foot feels a little heavy.

my pockets have been paying for the heavy foot....

Quick question for you, the tune I loaded does not require me to have the 3BAr and 170 T STat correct?

you would know if it required it..... your car would run like crap.....the LMS Stage 4+X will require all that stuff..... with that being said, if you were impressed with the new tunes now, just wait until you put the 160* themostat in, with new plugs gapped at .030, and a 3 bar sensor.  You will be amazed again to see a huge jump in performance.  With those upgrades you will be spinning tires in second gear and doing power slides in first when pulling out of places..... worth the $150 more for those parts, and you can install all yourself in about 2 hours.

Thanks SHO-TYM......Making me want to go out and get all the stuff already!!!

One last question, how long after you load the new tunes does the rough shifting go away?

depends on how heavy your foot is.  The car learns how you drive on a day to day basis.  Mine took about a week and it smoothed out quite a bit.  It has been almost a month now, and it feels good under WOT, but when driving normal, it is smooth as butter.  I may be going back to the track tonight, so I may reflash my tune to get my shifts faster for the track. at first it is scary to feel the shifts.... but it does get softer. I promise

I think the key to smooth shifting is a consistent gas pedal through gears. If you let off a bit at those shift points it seems to jam it into gear.

Clocked my SHO zero to sixty at 4.6 seconds last winter and I never changed the plugs or thermostat. Car never over heats and I average 18mpg with a somewhat heavy foot. I'm sticking to the-if it ain't broke don't fix it deal! Glad you're enjoying the tune it makes all the difference!

It does seem slow.  Ford claims 5.1sec 0-60 stock.  My 2013 nonPP with LMS v8 3BAR tune pretty consistently gives me 3.9 - 4.2 sec 0-60 with all the grannies on.  My only performance mods are the tune, 3BAR MAP, and PPE downpipes.

I would guess there is something amiss... Boost leak, excessive knock and loss of timing, wrong plug gap/failing plug or coil or other cause for misfire under load, corrupt tune...?  ... If it's not a measurement anomaly I'd start looking.

Like mentioned here on the forum so many times,could be the K&N cai causing these issues,try to put the stock cai back and see if you achieve better times good luck with the ride.

Being lowered and having dpipes I'd think these times should be better. Those 60 ' s look like the key though. My trip to track this year netted all 5 runs with mph at 85 in 1/8 mile also?
