Bootmod3 Tune

Finally got around to it. Had the JB4 previously and it fell a little short with the transitions between gears. It was falling over itself so I turned to bootmod3. Super easy to tune. I did stage 2 91 for now. Going to go to the dyno today and get some results

Very interested in hearing about your experience with the Bootmod3. What exactly what the JB doing that made you switch to the flash?

A little loss for words. Not sure if it was the dyno, tune or the weather out.... I know people have stated having 355awhp stock. Not sure what was going on. Car definitely feels a lot more linear on top end. My guy who set up the bootmod3 said it should be 400awhp at the very least. It was fairly hot at 102 degrees and driving 20 miles to get to the dyno.

This was the stage 1 91 octane tune. I have a catted downpipe on the way this week so I'll have that to compare afterwards.

As for the bootmod3 it has been awesome being able to tune on the fly. I am going to see what happened with more research. I will do some dragy runs this upcoming week.

Next dyno day is November 23rd. I'll have some drag slips before then as well.

The extreme heat definitely can play a factor. Still, I'm somewhat surprised these numbers aren't higher being that it's on a Dynojet.

I dynoed mine on a MP Stage 2, (50° ambients) and made 360whp, and 441wtq on a Mustang!

I'm on the BM3 Stage 2 93, and I'm sure that on the same day I'd probably be around 420whp and 440wtq.

I should go again on the same dyno to see!

It is indeed. My wife was driving it around and said it felt like the JB4 how when flooring it it feels as if it is nosediving. Im going to drive it tonight or tomrrow and see. Sometimes I wonder where she gets her vocabulary from
