Hello All,
This will be my first post. So, here we go. I had the FRPP calibration installed on my 2012 GT with 6R80 on Friday, 09-23-11. Here are some non scientific observations. The tune completely changes the character of the car....... for the better. Throttle tip in is much quicker, but very linear. It certainly changes the shifting of the 6R80. Shifts are very smooth, quick and somewhat firmer. It does let the engine rev a bit more around town before shifting. It does not raise the rev limiter. This tune adds perhaps a little horsepower on the top end. It really adds a lot of torque down low. I really like this part of the tune. Only downside is the mild "ping" under full throttle. Yes, I only run 93 octane in the car. Ford Racing says this is NOT spark knock, but is "catalytic impingment" and is part of the tune and will not hurt anything. It only happens for a second and stops. I did go back and change mine to "octane adjust" with the ProCal tool. This does not seem to affect the performance and it still has the same mild ping under full throttle. Overall I am thrilled with the change to the car's character and the vastly improved driveability. I do plan on putting a 3.55 gear in this car soon. If it will hook up, I bet it will launch like a goosed gazelle!
