Anyone on the forum have an answer? I've seen some figures somewhere but can't find them now. Also if you've have one installed on the 2.0 what's your thoughts and suggestions.

Pretty sure there are plenty of dynos and ohhh wait 2.0 forgot that exists. Anyways yeah, there are some dynos and JB claims good gains. There is a guy here Ryan or something that had the record for the 2.0 before it was smashed and he replaced it with a real engine, I mean the 3.3.

General, thanks for the input. Does anyone have a more definitive answer(Ryan or someone)? General, I have a Roush Mustang and a supercharged 2016 Miata hence, I'm very aware of other engines choices. I bought the 2.0 for comfort and the great styling for road trips. I simply want to upgrade my Stinger which is what I do to all my vehicles. With hindsight being 20/20 I should have traded the Stang and got the 3.3. But I love the Stang's power and styling. Someone with a upgraded 2.0 please help me make an informed decision. Thanks

is that with no bolt ons or with bolt ons? also, you probably should follow up with "we recommend gapping the plugs".

Much thanks, great info. Anyone running other than the JB4, please chime in. So far, I've upgraded the brakes along with slotted rotors, Injen intake, Eibach sway bars (the rear being a PITA to install), 19" Enkei Vulcan wheels, rear spoiler and Convoy ground effects (inprogress redoing the paint). I'll update my personal info, so you won't have to read all this again unless you want to.

I have a RaceChip but JB4 is probably the better way to go to get the most performance out of the 2.0. I didn't go for it because I get my car serviced at the dealer and like the quick removal and reinstall and not really wanting the extra steps with fuel & OBDII wires. Also, I prefer just set it and forget it and have no need for updates, logs, settings for WMI options and such.
I know where you're coming from. I've owned 2 mustangs, a camaro and a corvette - all V8s, also countless other cars with more than 4 cyl. This car is a daily driver for me in constant traffic so I don't need maximum performance, I prefer having it set up for city driving with quicker response in traffic while you're in the lower or mid rpm range, for that I highly recommend the BMS pedal tuner - it adds zero power but the response is quicker which is sorely needed with the turbo lag this engine has. I have the K&N intake, and Magnaflow catback which seems to have helped the throttle response as well. I had my car on a dyno for kicks and giggles with just the RaceChip by itself hp improved in the low 30's at the wheel, I'm guessing with the other bolt ons now it maybe closer to mid 30 to 40 hp overall improvement at the wheel. While overall hp didn't increase by a lot, there is a noticeable difference in how it responds in daily driving.

The JB4 doesn't require fuel wires, OBDII wires, updates, logs, or settings. In fact you can just plug in two connections and have it do a RaceChip impersonation if you want. With all that extra stuff just sitting around should the need ever arise. Even if you never use anything else JB4 resale value is way higher than RaceChip.

Thanks for all the input. This is a great forum and I really appreciate any and all input. I started this thread because some of the info on the forum seemed dated. I'm pretty sure the power mod will be the last for a while.
@General_Vodka sorry I don’t get on the forum that much. Did you have a question?

Was wondering about your 2.0 power numbers
I dynoed it once but due to my lack of experience I didn’t get accurate info. I kept hitting the trans kickdown switch when I was flooring it. The best I did at the track was a 13.7 at 101mph. With the known brake snip and being able leave boost would definitely drop that time more.
