AM/Bama Performance Tunes the new 5.0 Coyote!

The Bama Team made some big power gains with on the AmericanMuscle 2015 Mustang GT on the dyno; you won’t believe the power it put down! Bama Performance has been at the forefront of Mustang Tuning for some time and continues to stay at the tuning forefront for the 2015 Mustang. After spending some time tuning our 2015 EcoBoost Mustang, Bama shifted their focus over to the 2015 GT and its revised coyote motor.

Stock Performance
Immediately upon receiving our 2015 Mustang GT, we drove it right onto our dyno to see what kind of numbers it was putting down. In stock form, our 2015 GT put down 381 RWHP and 359 RWTQ as a baseline. Once the Bama Team had their stock numbers, they wasted no time at all getting into the ECU of the 2015 to start developing more power.

2015 Mustang Tuning
The members of the Bama Performance Team are experts at tuning Mustangs and had no issue making more power with 2015 Mustang. After adjusting the Mustang’s computer parameters, the Bama Team rolled the 2015 Mustang GT back on to the dyno to see the gains they made. After tuning, the 2015 Mustang GT put down an incredible 402 RWHP and 382 RWTQ.

Seeing as how more and more 2015 Mustang parts keep coming out, Bama decided to keep things going by throwing on a 2015 Mustang cold air intake from JLT Performance. The 2015 JLT Cold Air Intake features a 110mm MAF housing and a large reusable filter that allows for the robust coyote engine to breathe easier. After tuning the 2015 GT with the JLT CAI, it put down 412 RWHP and 382 RWTQ.

To simplify the power growth of our 2015 Mustang GT:

• 93 Octane Stock RWHP/RWTQ: 381/359
• 93 Octane Bama Tuned RWHP/RWTQ: 402/382
• 93 Bama Tune w/JLT Intake RWHP/RWTQ: 412/382

Within the dyno graph, there are curve gains of 27RWHP and 42 RWTQ. The Bama Team found that tuning the 15 GT was similar to tuning the out going 14 GT with some minor differences. For starters, there are 12 additional spark and torque tables thanks to the charge motion control valves. The Bama Team also remarked that the 2015 Mustang relies more heavily on torque calculations than previous generations.

With nothing more then a 2015 Mustang Tuner, the Bama Team was able to make huge gains out of the new coyote motor; one can only imagine what the Bama Performance Team has in store for the future!

So about 20-25 added at the wheels for power and twist from a tune alone. That's not bad. Add the intake and exhaust and that's roughly 40-50whp in gains? Hitting 475 at the flywheel is going to be easy-peasy going FBO + tune.

One thing that I have seen that is fairly consistent is CAI ' S only seem to gain about 10 peak HP and even less over most of the curve vs just a tune.
