2018-2021 Lincoln Navigator 3.5L EcoBoost Custom Tune

Reasonable Basis - Emissions Testing Verified to have no adverse effect on emissions.

ZFG Racing LLC Reasonable Basis File Number: RBF-002

Products within this category, to the best of ZFG’s knowledge and understanding, demonstrate a reasonable basis that they do not adversely affect vehicle emissions and retain the full operation and functionality of the On-Board Diagnostic System (OBD) Emissions Related Items, and will continue to satisfy emissions requirements, such as meeting standards within useful life or maintaining emissions performance outside useful life. Such labeling does not indicate products are 50 state legal. Consumers are advised to make sure that such parts are installed and used properly in order to maintain compliance with emissions standards.

Reasonable Basis testing under the guidance of SMEA Garage Emissions Compliance for reasonable basis often coincides with CARB EO pending. Additional documentation available upon request.

✅ Best Practices:

• Flash First: Write your tune before blending

• Test: Measure ethanol content of both pump gas and E85

• Use the Ethanol Calculator 

• Wait: Drive a minimum of 15 miles, avoid going into boost

 Your tuning goal defines how the vehicle behaves:

• Tow — Optimized for low-end torque and towing

• Daily Driver — Balanced performance and drivability

• Performance — More aggressive power and shifting

• Race — Maximum performance, optimization of aftermarket modifications
