Not too shabby for just a tune on a n/a car. IMO the power gains are secondary only to the increased driveability of the car. No idea what the hell SVT was smoking when they tuned these vehicles.
Plus I went for the optional early fan activation and traction control defeat. Ford decided it would be a good idea to have a two part traction control: timing and ABS. Even when you turn off the TC, it still fiddles with the timing and ABS when the wheels slip below 20mph. The defeat option completely disables the timing portion of the TC. The ABS portion cannot be defeated unless I yank the ABS fuse.
