Can I just use my Florida address instead of my California one?
It's not based off of your physical address. It's based on the VIN number and what state the vehicle was built in or delivered to.

Just read through this thread again, my MT88 is waiting on parts, once its updated and I get some miles under it I'm basically guaranteed to get this done through my dealer.

Follow-up question: Has anyone noticed how the tune affected their clutch?

Doesn't affect it at all

I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning or not.

I have been getting not-insignificant fuel milage improvements since putting the FRP tune on my 2.3L. I regularly make the trip between Detroit and Louisville. Before the tune, in stock form, I was getting around 18.9MPG. After a 2" RPG spacer lift, Havoc front bumper with winch, and a full set of ASFIR skid plates, I was down to 16.9MPG.

Now, with just adding the tune, I'm back up to 18.9MPG on 93 octane, plus the additional "fun factor" of having more power.

A more powerful engine can actually be better on mileage, since you don't have to rev it as much for the same effect.

has anyone felt the tuner wasnt worth the cost of the tuner and 93 octane? Im considering it for a leveled badlands with 305/70r17s
Truthfully I kinda think SPORT mode might be all i want, if i can find someone to do it for me

Just put it in Baja and switch to two wheel drive.

I think that because it's VIN-locked, Ford cross references your VIN with your registration and won't allow the software to upload onto the box until CARB approval.
I had no issue loading it on mine. Have had it since January

@LethalPerformance

Was going to order off the site, but wanted to see if you heard of any issues with running this with the Pedal Commander? Can you run both at the same time? Any insight on this would be helpful. Thanks!
I have a 2.3 MT (with aftermarket hot & cold pipes, intercooler / deactivated shutters, air intake, blow off valve, muffler delete) and run the Pedal Commander along with Ford Performance Tune and JB4 (map 3) all together. I've never had an issue with the setup with all three running at the same time. I've also run the Pedal Commander with only the Ford Performance Tune and did not run into any issues at all. The Ford Performance Tune is great and significantly better than the stock program - as for the Pedal Commander, I have experimented running the tunes without it and it's almost unbearable to drive the vehicle without it once you experience driving with it.

Also to be noted that I have 37 inch tires and the Peddle Commander has drastically improved fuel economy as the multiplied peddle response helps get up to speed a bit quicker both from the start and while cruising on the highway.

P.S. - Lethal performance has been great with their customer service and has been great to deal with on multiple purchases.

Thanks for the update. I’m the world’s most impatient human being so I went and ordered the calibration tune the other day and will hopefully receive it Friday. I used an affiliate code discount so I saved a few dollars. 😂

Thanks for your business. We really appreciate it. I'm sure you're going to love the calibration once you receive and install it. If there's anything else we can help you with please let us know.
