It will be interesting to see if it is true and how limited it actually is. The fact a "low reading" Mustang dyno showed a 509 whp result - with AWD drivetrain loss of 15% is 598 HP. That is without the likely low read of 6-8% which could place actual WHP at 549.47 and crank HP in the 646 HP range. If that is "before break in" numbers - I am even happier with my purchase lol.


I can tell you from what I’ve seen in the coding it is for sure there. How much it limits power by I don’t know. But it is limited.
