Man, I can't wait until tomorrow........ I get better everyday (j/k)
JTGrant said:its rpm not wot
It's both. SCT program Pro states that the plates are open at .60 Thottle Position release at 2250 rpm, .475 TP release @ 2900 rpm and full open at 3250 with a zero TP release.JTGrant said:its rpm not wot
Rock36 said:I got my delete plates from pmpparts.com as well. The install was easy. I got a tune from bamachips to work with mine, and I have not noticed any loss in the bottom end.
Though I think I may have lost about 1 mpg, which kinda makes sense since I believe this is one of the reasons for the valves in the first place.
I will need to actually pay more attention to validate whether this 1 mpg loss is a reality, because I have been driving a little faster lately to test out the plates through the rpm range and makes sure everything was running smooth.

Tom, I have a question for you ?? I have the X-Cal II Strategy Flash canned tuner which has an option to delete the factory CMVC plates, in your opinion would it be safe to install the FRPP plates while using the Strategy Flash tuner ? or should I just wait until getting a custom tune on the dyno, before installing the delete plates ? Anyway, hope that doesn't sound like a dumb questiontom281 said:I have a custom tune from Brenspeed, but they modified that just for the addition of the plates and re-emailed it to me. So, I guess it's kind of like a custom canned tune. Like I said I'm going there next week to get the tuned on the dyno with the plates installed. I was at 296/316 and since then I added Steeda pullies, these plates, and 4.10 gears- so I won't be able to tell you how much I gained just from the plates. I don't believe much in SOTP feel, but the reponse is noticeably better and the car revs quicker.

JTGrant said:Mine wasn't any faster with the BAMA tune. I didn't dyno the two tunes (Original tune from Lamotta and the tune form BAMA). The car just didn't feel any faster, it did however have better low end torque and better throttle response. The car didn't have the seat of the pants feeling as much. Doug at BAMA is great, I know of a lot of people that are extremely happy with their tunes from Doug. I do have the option in the tune to turn the plates off when I install them. We need to have more people post on this thread about their opinions on this mod.
if you are getting a custom tune anyway, might as well install the plates before you go. or wait for the dyno until the spring when you have the plates. you need to put the stang away for the winter anyway, right? why waste the money?red05bullitgt said:Thanks Tom, ProMod and JT for all your input and advice, I'm extremely very grateful..Although more than likely, I'll end up waiting until this coming spring before doing a CMVC mod, However before putting my Stang away in storage for the winter I plan on taking a 2 hour trip to Powerhouse Automotive to get my car custom tuned on their Mustang Eddy chassis dyno..I recently had both my A/F along with my HP and Torque checked with my Steeda CAI and canned tunes with the X-Cal II Strategy Flash tuner and apparantly the best they could get out of it was 277.2 max HP and 292.1 max Torque @13.1 A/F However, I made the mistake by not getting a stock baseline tune first, so I really can't make a comparison as to how much HP and Torque was gained between stock and then with the CAI ? but it seems as though those max HP and Torque numbers seem kind of low even for a canned tune and CAI..Anyway, what do you guys think ?? would you recommend a custom tune ? or just leave well enough alone ?
