My take is they need the freaking EPA off their backs .Ford ECU tuners need to go back to school.

I bought a ford performance tune from steeda that's not their tune it's fords. I have it, I think the car shifts better I have the 10R80 as far as extra power I think there is some but not a lot. I does look cool as hell when you open the hood. If you are concerned about your warranty it's the way to go if your not there is a lot better ways to get more power for less money.Has anyone used the tune? Any comments on before vs after?
OOPs my mistake steeda does their own bullitt it's not the ford tune.I bought a ford performance tune from steeda that's not their tune it's fords.

IF you ask james there is a tune that has the burble, like the stock tune in the bullitt.Be mindful that the exhaust tone will likely change with the tune.
Yup James will for sure take care of you. And I can't speak enough about his knowledge of the Coyote and what it likes. I almost had to put in PTO at work because I didn't want to get off the phone.IF you ask james there is a tune that has the burble, like the stock tune in the bullitt.
I first got the standard bullitt tune from Steeda by james. I missed the burbles and pops and emailed james about it. Then he sent me a new tune with the burbles and pops.
Great service from Steeda and James
Lunds still a top dog, he's just not spending as many hours as James is specifically on the Bullitt to find out every little tiny tweak that can be best used to best optimize it.James seems to be the man. Back in the day I remember Lund as the Ford guru.
I have an interesting story about Ford Tuning and the EPA.My take is they need the freaking EPA off their backs .
Yes they can deny any repair If it's connected with an aftermarket tune. I've heard they can tell there is was a tune even if it's put back to stock. That's not to say that your whole bumper to bumper warranty is voided. For example, say a a power window motor goes. That would still be covered because it is not part of the powertrain and not connected to the tune. Manufacturers cannot summarily void an entire warranty. They can deny a particular repair.I'm interested in the Steeda/James tune for my Bullitt but how does that affect the warranty? If the transmission goes or there is some other issue, will Ford not cover anything because of the non-Ford tune?
I just recently had Steeda install one of their tunes on my PP2. All I was looking for was enough to get me past the 20 HP increase of the Bullitt & Mach 1. By the time I left the Pompano Beach (FL) facility, my RWHP was +/- a couple of HP from the GT350. One note tho ... I also have a Borla S-Type cat-back exhaust (140745) & resonator (60661)."Maybe this has been asked before, but does anyone have experience w/the Steeda Bullitt tune? Worth it?"
You're certainly fortunate to live near the facility. I'll have to settle for an email tune.I just recently had Steeda install one of their tunes on my PP2.

Actually, I reside in the DFW area. But I did live in FL for 7+ years so have lots of friends down there. Besides, being old, senile, grouchy & retired, it doesn't take much for me to 'road trip' the Mustang."You're certainly fortunate to live near the facility. I'll have to settle for an email tune."
