Ford Performance Tune for 2018+ GT

[Headless Horseman]

Thanks for your response. I asked because I'm considering the calibration kit. But wanted to keep the components for a new tune later after my warranty expires. I'm looking at the STEEDA 3 inch cat back exhaust system which is supposed to be good for approx 20 to 22hp. I would love to stack those for gains if possible.

I had the kit on my car. It's not worth the price. Especially after I went with my upgrades. Everything in that kit is pretty much obsolete at this point. The cold air intake sent my IAT through the roof. The Throttle Body,,,...meh! The Procal tool I still use!!! As @AZ18yote said, it's a wonderful tune for someone planning on not doing anything but keeping it stock. I will say it should've came that way from the factory with this tune, but that would've stepped on Mach1 and Bullit toes.

Yes I agree about it said and done, but just like those who wanted to keep warranty and smog etc and not dismantle it when done, but have option to just switch over to custom tune and then back for smog etc. also looks nice in the engine bay vs stock, and glad my hood does imprint over the cai applying a decent seal, It works well with my borla cat back on sound behavior along with improved mpg, bump in low end tq, smoother a10 shifting.

The procal is useful imo even though I gave up on the tune. You can set wheel size and gearing even on the stock tune plus crank relearn and some other useful service functions.

But yeah, unless this is 1 and done you're better off just getting a custom tune from the get go.

I guess I got lucky with the overall benefits of this so I may just stay NA and stick to this for good and just add more handling tweaks.

I decided to keep my 1200 and put it towards an ESS. Hopefully will be my winter project.

A very, very, smart move!

I‘ll admit I did not read all 180 pages but did search and I am interested in this kit. I have a 2020 GT PP1 car and wondering if this throttle body is the same as what I already have? I am also interested in the kit because I am a California guy and cant tune. My 10speed auto is a little rough on some shifts and I am reading this kit can help with that. Car only has 7k miles on it i just bought it a few months ago and it’s not my DD. Can anyone advise if this is worth it for a PP1 car?

Not the same throttle body.

Value is relative - it gives a bit of benefit and restricts you to 91+ octane gas. IMO not worth the price (I used to have it on my car).

Was worth it to me! Put it on when it came out and still happy with it. If you want to stay legal I recommend it.

I'd say it's worth it for California residents

I sold my 2020 Mustang GT, but I totally think the kit was worth it. The fact you could add 4.09 gears with the kit made the 2020 GT a roll monster.

I think it's a good kit for a California car. It ran better than stock.
A year or so later I got tuned for e85 with it on my '18 and it's still running well.

I moved out of California before I could test if it would pass smog by loading the the kit's tune back for testing.

 

[Mustangpursuit]

It still runs great for me and I am still a California car, the real impact was better throttle response and smoother shifting for my 10-Speed. I also get good MPG

 

[Superspirit]

Fixed the rev hang and allowed 4.09's made me real happy

I came back to play around with this again. I got a new gasket for both the adapter and the intake manifold, and new bolts for the throttle body (m6x45mm). I had suspicions i had maybe stretched those included bolts from the 900+ times doing that or the gasket was overworked and not sealing correctly.

On top of that, maybe it's just me, but my procal got a firmware update which is something I've never seen before. When I flashed, there was now 95 changed data points and I swear it was 94 before. So they must have changed something. If only there was a changelog....

So far, the car is working much differently (in a good way) than in the past. I used to get a harsh off throttle jerk, now it's as smooth as stock. Haven't noticed any of the usual noises yet, although it was only in the 60's today. We'll see of course, but first impressions are very positive.
