Ford Performance Calibration Tune for 2.7L Bronco's AVAILABLE NOW! - Lethal Performance

[JFelty]

@LethalPerformance first off thank you for all of the work that goes into investigating all our questions!

I have one for you now. Did the Ford Perf Rep happen to say when these would be delivered? I went to the Dealer that I bought my WildTrak from and placed my order which they didn't know they could do because they didn't know they were out. They didn't give me.an ETA so figured I would ask you.

I have my list of other parts to buy from you ready and will be placing that soon. Thanks again for all the great reviews and work on this.

@LethalPerformance In addition to the HP gains, do you know if this would eliminate the need to have a pedal commander? I added one and it makes a big difference, wondering if the tune eliminates that as it saves it improves throttle response... Thanks!

I appreciate you asking the question, but that is such a cop out answer from the Ford Performance rep. They work for and represent Ford, so call down to the ESP division and get a definitive answer FFS. This isn’t the first factory tune Ford Performance has sold, so you’d think they would’ve already figured out the answer.

I think those ESP plans are fufilled by a 3rd party, do dealers even all use the same one?

I only buy the Ford (or whatever brand) ESP, but there are plenty of third party plans available. All Ford dealers can sell Ford ESP, but many will try to sell something third party that gives them more profit.

So for whatever your dealer will charge for install, how many ate interested in 1 year 36000 mile warranty on extr ponies for just $825? Under consideration here

Hi there! We're happy to help and support the platform. We're car guys & gals ourselves here and really love to see the Bronco find its place in the market.

Essentially, yes, but you can still keep it on and adjust your toe-in acceleration to your liking.

The install does not HAVE to be from the dealer.. an ASE certified technician would be fine as well

So can you turn the tune on and off if you want to run 89octane and then on and run 91? or does it stay on all the time? some of the other tunes you can turn on and off as needed. Thanks for all your info on this @LethalPerformance.

As a 7MT driver, I wonder how the down shift rev matching works

Does this tune add rev matching to the 7Mt?

 

[tritonx100]

as someone who has no idea about the "performance world". why would premium fuel be required if youre not changing any parts... wouldnt it just be the same decision you make now? lol

high octane fuel will give you maximum combustion and slightly more power....looking at the graph i don't think the premium fuel would be worth the extra $1 a gallon.

Why is everyone saying the tune for the 2.7 only gives you up to 35" wheels? I see 37":

Once flashed the calibration will be on the vehicle until you return it to stock. You can return the vehicle to stock with the ProCal 4 device as it has the option to save your stock file on it before you flash the vehicle with their cal.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Rev matching is part of the calibration for 7MT owners. Obviously restricted to the 2.3L Broncos as they are the only ones with the manual transmission. Let us know if you have any other questions.

• Down-shift rev matching for manual transmission equipped vehicles (2.3L 7MT Only)

Of course, 2,799 mm circumference is in fact, a 35" circle, so who knows....
