Hey guys,

So based on the previous topic of VBOX tests I have done -
http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19015-vbox-tested-0-60-vs-rpm-launch/
http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18909-vbox-tested-drive-vs-sport-0-60/

I really wanted to get a test done to understand how much you can gain from just a tune.

Specs -
2015 Edge Sport
Livernois 93 Tune
Winter Wheel Set Up
Miles = 4300
1/4 tank of 93 octane
48* F

All tests done with traction control off and Sport Mode.  I used my old school Scan Gauge (like 2004 era...) to understand RPM when launching.  Also note that all runs done on a private road - not a track.

Took a couple videos of the scan gauge to see IAT change over the run.  To be honest, it didn't go up at all during 0-60, it actually went down on the runs interestingly enough....





Test Notes
- Runs were performed in the order above, car is extremely consistent (last 3 runs were estimated RPM)
- 1500 RPM is not as great where it used to be pretty decent with the stock tune
- 2000 RPM is the sweet spot (maybe 2200?)
- 2300 RPM spun ALL FOUR TIRES and it showed.... I assume with a better street set up that I would grab a really good 0-60.
- Best 1/8 mile time (only one of them was 8.7 @ 81 mph - last run of the night)
- The one 91 Octane Tune I had was 5.408
- The best 93 Stock Tune I had was 5.976
- The 1 foot roll out average is 4.9 (what magazines use to test), best of 4.8!

This tune took off .806 seconds off my best 0-60 and I must say I am impressed, I can't wait to see what downpipes / intercooler pipes / intake does (maybe 0-60 in 4.8?).

Thanks Livernois Motorsports, can't wait to see how the car performs when you tweak the tune later on down the road!

Tires at stock pressure?  Airing down tires (all 4) has been found to help a bit (simplest mod).  You will have to find the psi that best matches the tires your Sport has on it (trial/error).

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Tires were around 35-36 PSI.  I would say that if I got them down to 28-30 PSI I wouldn't have spun all four during the 2300 rpm launch.  They are Blizzak's, so they are not the worst tire to have ;)

I've had the fronts spin so bad the front of the car slid over at least a foot...I've also watched many SHO'S spin horribly bad off the line at the track...MANY

What motor is in the edge? I thought they only did the 2.0l  ecoboost.. Or is it the 2.3 that's in the mustang?

Gains are very good, not as much hp tuned as the 3.5 obviously, but still 100 hp is nice to have!  My hope is that LMS continues to tweak the tune to get a bit more out of it, like they have with the SHO's.

Oh ok, I'm guessing it's different than the truck motor, since the 3.5's are not the same
