Tuner and tunes

[E.jaba]

Soon I will ship my V6 to Europe and I'm planning to get a tuner.
After reading all you reviews my list is:
1. MPT
2. Bama
3. Unleash

Since in my country gas is 95 and 98, how many tunes and which should I get?

I prefer reliability over performance, and I love perfect shifts (mine is Auto)

Thanks!

Go to SCT 4150 Church Street - SUITE 1024 Sanford, Florida 32771 USA, 407-774-2447 They can set up a SCTx4 with ever you want and you can program the menu setting to what you want. I love mine.

EU octane formula is different than the US. EU 95 is equal to US 91 and EU 98 is equal to US 93. So if you are using a US 93 octane tune you need to use EU 98 octane gas.

lund also has maps for the cyclone v6 . we have an 11 v6 at sacramento raceway running 13.2 on just a lund e85 map .

That's really interesting and good to know!

I'm thinking on MPT and all tunes from the same one.
Would I be missing something?

Have to do some research to find the right tunes.

I would recommend MPT over all other flash tunes as of now. You will also need an SCT X4 programmer, then you should be set to reflash your ECU!

You could try Ford itself. Ask them if they could do an ECU update of your car and you should be good...?

I'm in UAE and I use MPT 93 PR-X tune so I use 98 octane fuel

American -- UAE
Reg 88 ----- 91
Prem 91 --- 95
Prem 94 --- 98

But I don't know about Europe

MAP tune or MAF tune?

I asked a local tuner andI told him about the MPT and Unleashed afr readings

MPT @ idle/cruise 14.7 Wot 11.8
UNLEASHED @ idle/cruise 14.1 Wot 12.1

He says unleashed makes more power also its still too rich and this tuner is one of the best in the city ( Toronto, Ontario ).

Im no tuning expert by any means, but both of those seem way too rich at WOT. I feel like it should be closer to the mid 13's

MAP tune or MAF tune?

Map as in fuel and timing tables by load and rpm .
