Tuning Device & Remote AccessGet the ZFG Racing HP Tuners RTD package (Remote Tuning Device) for a seamless, laptop-free tuning experience. HP Tuners is the company who manufacturers the tools ZFG Racing uses to send custom tunes to your vehicle. These devices let you flash your car’s computer with performance upgrades remotely.
You'll use the TDN (Tune Delivery Network) App to manage tuning:
- Flash between stock and custom tunes
- Send and receive tune files
- Record and share data logs
- Read and clear DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)
... all from your mobile device.
Fuel Type Options:
This platform supports full e85 on the stock fuel system. Choose your fuel type based on availability and goals. You can always revert to your stock tune, which supports any pump gas. See "Fuel Type" section for options, gains, and recommendations.
Tune Styles & Tuning Goals:
- Standard Tune: One tuning goal applied across all drive modes, with subtle refinements to each one's "stock personality" -- Sport Mode will still be the most responsive, and Eco Mode will still be the most relaxed.
- DMS (Drive Mode Specific): This tune style is not yet available. If/when this becomes available, we will offer an upgrade path like we do for currently supported platforms.
Engine (ECM) and Transmission (TCM):
Custom tunes are written to calibrate your Engine & Transmission in harmony with your selected tuning goal(s), modifications, and preferences.
Device & Licensing Included
All Tuning Packages include the latest-generation RTD from HP Tuners. Use the TDN App to manage your tunes wirelessly-- switch tunes or back to stock, record data logs, read or clear codes, and more with just a few taps. For more information on device compatibility and licensing, please see our FAQ.
Important Notes:

- Most tunes are completed within two weeks of submitting your Stock Calibration and first tune request.
- Tune requests must be submitted on our website (See:Tuning Central). These requests are required - we will not send a tune, review a data log, or take any other action on your tune until the proper request has been submitted.

Tune Type
STANDARD TUNES provide a traditional custom tune that calibrates the vehicle according to one tuning goal: Daily Driver, Performance, Race, or Tow.
- Tuning goals for Standard Tunes are made at time of purchase.
- Towing should only be done on the stock tune or with a Towing Tune (always in Tow Mode).
DMS TUNES provide a unique custom tune that individually calibrates each drive mode (Normal, Sport, Eco, Slippery, Deep, and Tow). DMS is like having multiple Standard Tunes at once, and allows you to switch tunes by turning the dial.
- Options for drive mode calibrations are: Stock, Daily Driver, Performance, or Race.
- DMS mode/goal selections are made post-purchase.
- A Towing Tune will be placed in Tow Mode for all DMS Tunes.
- Tuning goals per mode are selected post-purchase.
Tuning Goal(s)
Note:
- DMS Tunes: Tuning Goals are selected post-purchase, in your first Tune Request.
- Standard Tunes: Tuning Goal is selected at time of purchase.
Think of your Tuning Goal as the foundation or starting point of your custom tune. Each goal influences power output, throttle response, transmission behavior, and overall driving feel differently.
-
Tow - Slight horsepower increase, optimized for towing and low-end torque.
-
Stock+ (DMS Tunes only) - The factory tune will remain in the selected drive mode.
-
Daily Driver - Moderate horsepower increase; Refines stock ECU and Transmission behavior for balanced performance and comfort.
-
Performance - Significant horsepower increase; enhance aftermarket modifications, improves throttle response, and delivers faster, firmer shifts.
-
Race - Max horsepower increase; aggressive tuning for advanced mods or competitive use with the fastest, and firmest shift strategies.
How to get your Additional Tune
After purchase, please submit a Tune Request (for Additional Tune).
- We do not send any tunes unless a Tune Request is submitted first.
- Syncing or reading new files is not required for this request - we will base your additional tune off of your existing completed tune(s).
- You'll receive an email with data logging instructions once your new tune is ready to apply.
Getting an e50 (or higher) tune?
As a best practice, we recommend flashing your e50 tune at the pump before adding ethanol.
While flashing issues are very uncommon and typically temporary, this approach minimizes the chance of any flashing-related interruptions.
After the tune is successfully flashed and ethanol has been added, drive a minimum of 15 miles before going into boost. This ensures the fuel is fully mixed and clear of the previous fuel type.
