A "smoother movement from a dead stop" is definitely what i'm looking for. I've never heard of that company but I will check them out. Thank you!Injected Engineering. Have had it on my '13 5spd and my '14 DCT. Really smooths out the power band, yielding smoother movement from a dead stop, better gas mileage and an overall improved driving experience.
Combined with a sturdier RMM, aftermarket cold air intake and snorkel delete and you have one sweet performing car.
Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that it could have been a tune issue that caused all these issues. That was something I was afraid of... messing with the stock computer, trying to put it back to stock and not being able to. The I'm sure Ford would not honor any type of warranty becasue of that. Seems like a nightmare to me and I love hearing all of the thoughts and experience from the forum.I'll tell you one thing.... I had Focus Power's tune on mine. I have a 12 SE. I had a few issues at the beginning getting it tuned. Then, I had rough idle and 0-60 times were a bit less. Did a before and after dyno, and only gained 3 hp. This past weekend, my car went bonkers and i was not getting power to wheels. Tried to revert to stock, and it wouldn't. Car won't power on. Tom did not try to help but SCT did. I had a feeling the car would end up at Ford anyway but SCT tried at least. Regardless, I can't say it was for sure the tune or not, but know that it happened with their tune on the car.
It's what I had hoped for, but I knew I wasn't the issue. There had been some issues that would also happen with the tune that wouldn't without it. Rough idle, and decreased 0-60. I can't pinpoint that this dealership issue is tune related. But as I had said, it happened when I was tuned, and I had never had issuesI was kinda hoping for a wiring problem to show up early in your diagnostics.
TCM problems are all too common, seeing more of them lately & it's an expensive part to have to guess at for a solution.
What is the best tune option for the price? What is your experience/preference? What are the benefits/rewards of a "custom tune" and/or a "canned tune", does it really even matter?
Here ya go! http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=502177&page=6 It's the last post.Papa...whats the status of your car as of now?
How do you feel about the customer service/support from Tom's Tune?Toms tune is the best one I've tried yet. He also has exceptional advice and cust service. Also free updates when needed after certain upgrades.
A lot of folks have been happy with both Tom's and Injected's tune. FWIW Injected is a canned tune (they send you a base tune and I don't believe any changes are made afterwards unless things are unsafe for whatever reason), whereas Tom's are custom and involves datalogging. Something to consider if you do or don't want to datalog.How do you feel about the customer service/support from Tom's Tune?
Is a "base tune" worth the money?they send you a base tune and I don't believe any changes are made afterwards unless things are unsafe for whatever reason
Why is this half the price of the other tunes people have mentioned? $150 to $400 is quite a difference!Does steeda do N/A's?
Edit: Looks like they do http://www.steedafocus.com/parts/certified-steeda-lifetime-focus-custom-tune-00-14-999-tune-4-life
I guess I should have caught that one!You have to have the tune device already
That is EXACTLY what I am looking for!The biggest gains you'll see will be in throttle response, and in the case of automatic transmissions how the transmission responds.
Ok, I know I'll sound incredibly dumb here but, what is datalog?You should just make sure and datalog after the initial tune to make sure everything is running safely.
You use your tuning device and datalogging software on a laptop to record various data points regarding your engine and other components. It will make sure the engine is not knocking, or any other unsafe conditions exist.That is EXACTLY what I am looking for!
