Ford Performance Tune

[st8]

Understood. Thanks for the video. Looks identical to the Livernois device. How about going into Module Info and seeing what is listed as strategy code?

I think it should look something like:
SRBM4BA.H32

It does not mention anything of that sort.

Thanks for looking. Probably will only show it before you flash the tune.

Just installed myself on a 2020 platinum. Definitely noticeable and a lot more fun to drive. Im curious if this tune is a 70hp gain since the platinum in 2020 is only 365hp stock?

Yup! Yours should make the same power as ST's with the FP tune. Nice!

Installed the Ford performance tune on 6/19/23. Downloaded the latest setups and it does enable memory on the auto start-stop button in "normal" mode. It has stayed off since the installation.

I did the flash after doing the exhaust, intake, and intercooler so when it learned it had all the parts. For my use, this tune definitely added some gitty up.

None of the parts you added will add HP to the FP tune. The tune cannot "learn" anything like that.

what do you mean it enables memory on the auto start stop? I haven’t tried but are you saying that if you turn start stop off it says permanently off until you turn it on? I find it hard to believe but im

The intercooler would help a little I would think from keeping things cooler. I’m not 100% though people report improvement in feel of things even with jsut that installed.

Yes it keeps Auto start stop off based on my install. I downloaded the latest version of the tuner build from Ford or whoever makes it and auto start stop stays off.

I have not had to hit the stupid button since I installed the tune.

Same here, my start stop has been off since I installed the FP tune.

Curious is there a number to it?

I did mine in maybe Nov/December or so and mine doesn’t remember my auto start stop setting.

Wondering if those who are reporting the AutoStopStart staying off after tune are driving exclusively in Sport Mode? Sport Mode will keep it off.

Same. Or their battery is failing like mine lol. I just find it hard to believe ford would enable that feature.

have you gone and re-downloaded the tune and updated the programmer recently? Maybe there was an update in there for that feature request (shrug)

I have not. I had it installed by a ASE tech for warranty purposes. If I go do it again, it negates all of that.

 

[M3dragon]

maybe ask if you can get the new updates? Worth a shot.,

Chatting them now and they’re not aware of an update. Guy reached out to other members and said they can’t get a consensus. They’re gonna talk to product manager and let me know.

 

[M3dragon]

you have the programer right? you can update it yourself. The tune might not update but there is always some updates over time for programers. The instruction even say to download the latest version.

Then take it to the techs to flash the car.

Yeah I do. I did see that, I just figured that’s firmware for the tuner itself to ensure stability. Not actual updates for the tune itself which is what would affect the car specifically. They’re going to let me know what the engineers say.

 

[Cdubya]

Since it appears to be the Livernois device/software (but not tune), it can make updates to the PC software, device, and tune. But it will always say what it is updating when you connect.

So there was an update and it added the Stop/Start update ‘Sticky stop start logic’.

I did ask if there were any other updates.
I also asked about the updating process. Does a whole new reflash need to be done or is it like a phone update that just adds it on top of the base software? My main concern is I had it installed by a tech for warranty purposes and not trying to spend another $150 for an update.
