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:

EXPECTED GAINS

Gains will be dependent upon the fuel type you select. ZFGR Custom Tunes for 93 Octane provide gains of up to 100 WHP & 100 ft-lbs with no supporting modifications required. We offer recommendations for additional modifications if desired.

For information on the relationship between gains, fuel type, and tuning goal, see our FAQ: What gains can I expect?

Gains will be dependent upon the fuel type you select. A ZFGR Custom Tune for 93 Octane with a performance goal will provide gains of up to 50 HP with no other modifications. An e50 tune will provide gains up to 90 HP.
