FUEL TYPES

Our tunes support one fuel type each. Fuel type options are as follows:

Auto-Octane: All Pump Gas (87-93, up to e30)

91 Octane: 91+ Octane (91-93, up to e30)

93 Octane: 93+ Octane (93 only, up to e30)

e50: 40-60% ethanol blend (no pump gas)

e85*: e85 (70-90% ethanol content)** Written for Competition Use Only, and may not be supported by the stock fuel system.

If you would like to run more than one fuel type from above, you can purchase an additional tune or flash back to your stock tune.

TUNING GOALS

A "Tuning Goal" is the starting point for your tune. The Tuning Goal will provide our tuner with an idea of how to begin writing your tune, and will loosely guide the revisions and adjustments made throughout the tuning process. You can always request adjustments and are not "locked in" to your initial selection (s).

Standard Tunes support one Tuning Goal each, which is selected at time of purchase:

TOW - Slight HP increase, torque and gear management, intended for towing (towing should still be done in tow mode)
DAILY DRIVER - Moderate HP increase, refine/improve stock tune
PERFORMANCE - Large HP increase, enhance mods, faster and firmer shifts than Daily Driver or Stock, but not race-focused
RACE - Max HP increase, advanced mods, advanced torque management, fastest and firmest shifts

DMS Tunes support the selection of one Tuning Goal from above in each drive mode. Drive Mode / Tuning Goal selections are made post-purchase in your first TDN Request, with options for each as follows:

TOW - Automatically assigned to TOW MODE. There are no alternate Tuning Goals for tow mode, and a towing tune cannot be placed in another mode.
STOCK+ - The stock tune, This goal is an option for all drive modes.
DAILY DRIVER can be selected for: Normal Mode, Eco Mode (Conserve), Sport Mode (Excite), Slippery Mode, Snow/Sand Mode (Deep Conditions)
PERFORMANCE can be selected for: Normal Mode, Eco Mode (Conserve), Sport Mode (Excite), Slippery Mode, Snow/Sand Mode (Deep Conditions)
RACE can be selected for: Normal Mode, Sport Mode (Excite)

Please Note:

The Police Interceptor Utility has a limited number of drive modes, including Pursuit Mode. To maintain independent calibrations in each drive mode, a DMS tune is required.
We cannot adjust hybrid-specific modes for applicable vehicles (Pure EV Mode and Preserve Mode will maintain stock tune, all other modes can be customized as outlined above).
Tow Mode is not a selectable drive mode for the Lincoln Aviator, but can still be seen and adjusted through tuning.
For all tunes with a goal of TOW, we recommend providing details about the size, weight, and type of trailer(s) you tow at time of purchase. Our tuner may request that you complete data logs with the trailer(s) attached at various points throughout the tuning process.
