Launch Control

[jwhite]

I can tell you drag race guys that their is a new flash code from Ford that eliminates the delay!! I attended track attack today, and they informed us that all the cars were flashed with the new update. It was brand new to the instructors also so I do not know if it is available at the dealership yet? But no delay on the Track Attack cars, it worked perfectly.

Wow, GREAT news

 

[AngelDeath]

If true how does one go about finding out which they have as my current build date is 7/1. Is this something that the dealership will know only?

Were you guys seeing mostly 12's?

This would be a nice update. It absolutely sucks to try to get a great R/T with the delay. I’ve adjusted my response timing and have been able to cut multiple .001s. But with a reflash, I’ll have to adjust my timing again.

@Epiphany yes everyone was running 12’s . I think my best was a 12.3, one guy did get a 12.1. We were close to getting into the 11’s

As soon as I get home I’m going to ask my dealer if it’s available. It was brand new to ford performance also.

I contacted someone I know that can find out if anything is available at the dealer level yet. If anyone can find out about this, he can.

Just got a response:

"There is no published bulletin associated with this. It is possible that there is a PCM update. The only way to do an update is to use the IDS and manually there is a way to check for PCM updates and it will ask you if you want to update to the newest calibration. Its possible Ford MAY publish a bulletin on it, but as of right now, nothing written."

Hmm. My car was just built. I wonder when they started to include the update in production vehicles.

I can look at your calibration in ETIS and compare it to an older CFTP car.

Its going to be a while. Things are pretty backed up at Penske.

All you need is a VIN.

 

[obspsd]

Interesting. Now just raise the RPM for launch control!

All you need is a VIN.

Great, I'll reach out to a friend who is a tech over at the dealership.
