Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Dave2013M3]

So I have read all the replies & some time has gone by do you think this performance pack was worth it Is your car running better now That some of you had The time to drive more

I know 2 people who has this package and they are both happy with it. I know a couple of people didn't quite get the results they were expecting but several got really good results. To be honest, if you want to keep your car smog legal and you want to keep some sort of warranty, really only game in town.

Oh performance alone with warranty not a consideration there are definitely better options then.

 

[Dave2013M3]

If warranty and smog aren't a consideration, I would go elsewhere.

I haven’t really noticed a difference in power. The car felt fast before and still feels fast. What is noticeable is the shifting. It’s definitely more aggressive with the automatic. Throttle response is different too. It felt more touchy with the tune and I had to relearn it for the first few drives.

Overall I still think the kit was worth it. My 0-60 improved so it must have made a little difference. Also, I installed this kit with my girlfriend’s Dad. I know he enjoyed the time spent and the beers drank while working on it.

Are one of your ASE though? Aren't you defeating the purpose of the kit if it's not warrantied ?

No we are not. I wasn’t concerned with the warranty. My car gets so few miles with working from home due to COVID and not driving it in the winter. I really just wanted it since I have the FP handling pack for MagneRide. Wanted both calibrations to be Ford Performance. Silly reason, I know. He’s been wanting me to get the FP/Roush supercharger next to install together. Now if I get that someday, it would be worth it to me to have it installed at the dealership for peace of mind.

I've made this same comment before and I'll go ahead and say again since it was asked above. I have the 18 base GT manual. No drive modes. The kit made a huge difference for me. This is just from my butt dyno. The kit woke the car up. Plus the growl of the CAI sounds really good inside the cab. As for autos, it seems some didnt get much of a difference. Dont know why though.

I actually can't hear a difference in the sound of the CAI and the stock air box at all.

^^ for me the CAI sounds the best down low, low RPMs. Or at the beginning of a pull.

For a base car no drive modes the trans tuning would be beneficial. But that would be true for any of the tuning options out there.

The drive modes are like having multiple tunes pre loaded.

I read that in a previous comments. I guess the trans tuning applies to manual transmissions as well, didnt think it would. But I figured the drive modes, since I didnt have any, the tune did a huge change for me, plus later I plan on going up to 3.73 gears. I also never had a tune before on any car, so I am thinking I am not disappointed because I never had a tune. Any little change I felt.

Agreed, but you still get a CARB Sticker...

Thats what I needed to hear...the growl from the CAI.

Ah that's true good point.
