Hello, I have a ATX Ford Focus ZTS (2003), I have done almost every bolt ons, SVT header, CAT, Magmaflow catback, 65mm TB, Volant Intake, but every other is stock. So I got a good high-end power, but the low-end power is just like bleh. *I still get fast throttle response though*.. is Tune needed to make the low end get better? I am looking at the SCT Xcal, and hopefully find someone to tune it to run into 93 octane...... is the tune recommended?


I plan to go Procharger sometime down the road, not necessarliy right now...


I know ATX sucks, but that is all I can handle right now. I can not drive a MTX due to heavy lead foot, ha..

well it looks like your ready for some head work like cams and gears are a great way to get some power out of that engine(best power for price ratio IMO) and a tune will definitely suit the ECU to your upgrades and unlock some more power

i have a 03 ATX as well i kno how your feeling

I did not say I want a Procharger, I said I plan on. that is no definite answer. read carefully.

With a tune you can firm up the trans and the shift points and a few other things , with what you have done you need a AF Gauge as well

Tom
Yeah I heard that the tune can firm up the trans and the shift points.. What is an AF Gauge? Explain and/or guide me the link to where I can learn about the AG Gauge..

With you retiring, and I dont like going to other places for tuning...what do u suggest?
