Ford Performance Tuner

[Gumbo]

Custom tune local is fairly easy to find depending on your locality. Big national companies are mostly not touching catless though. I'm thinking there's at least one, maybe two remote tuners that will support a catted downpipe.



If you want very slight gains in performance that won't be noticeable by the seat of your pants, and more noise, nope.

Thanks, you and TXquailguy likely just saved me a couple of thousand dollars and an unhappy wife

By no means saying anyone should do it, but for strictly informational purposes I have had an aftermarket downpipe with my FP tune for 10k miles now. I love this tune because it runs very rich as part of being a “safer” more conservative tune. As a result, my data logging revealed that at WOT the A/F ratio leaned out from the high 10s to the low 11s after I added the downpipe (still a very safe AFR for a turbo motor). I also run colder NGK plugs as well.

FWIW, I read on the Toyota forum that if you add urine to the fuel tank, the urea is liberated during combustion and adds about 50HP. The urea injection is what give the modern diesel trucks so much power, right? 50 additional wheel HP on a stock tune is most definitely possible with urine in the gas tank.

It depends, but safer to have them do it if there is any concern about needing a warranty. I prepped (Installed software on my laptop, updated the tuner, connected to truck to read vin, connected to laptop again to download the tune onto it) the tuner for dealer to final steps of flashing the tune and brought it in for the tune and filter. They didn't even charge me, but I have the receipt for them installing it. For me it was really important that it was installed by the dealer as my truck has a lifetime powertrain warranty and I've gotten confirmation that having Ford install the tune that I bought from Ford will not affect that lifetime warranty at all.

my dealer did the same for me and I think partially as I take my vehicles back for the scheduled maintenance.

This is all useful information, thanks everyone. I don't know much about this newer technology and how it works but I'm kind of interested in the Ford performance tune. I'm not a gearhead, at least not anymore. I think the stock power is tremendous for a truck like this. So, layman's terms, is the difference with stock vs FPT significantly noticeable? My only other problem is my truck is a 22 so I don't even think they offer the FPT for that year yet, if they even ever will. If I'm wrong, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm more than happy with the way things are straight from the factory.
Thanks in advance.

The trans remap alone might be worth it.
