diesel97 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I just bought an Unleashed SCT X4 for Torrie and it comes with 3 tunes. My question is what 3 tunes would you guys recommend for a stock 2017 SEL AWD 3.5L? Not sure what my options are, so a list of tunes and what did you get would be great. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Options are usually economy and performance tunes in the octane grade of your choice - 87, 89,91,93 etc. All tunes will improve transmission behavior. Economy tunes do cut back a little on power, while delivering, in my case 10-15% better fuel economy (2010 fusion sport). I do not recommend economy tunes for enthusiasts tho The performance tunes are better suited for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel97 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Thanks, Mano I was reading another thread about tunes you mentioned to save your OEM tune on a USB or Computer for safe keeping. how do you do that? You can PM me if you don't want to go into detail here. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel97 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I understand that save the OEM tune but have read that stuff happens and you get a corrupted file then you need to go to the dealer for a reflash. Some people copy and store theirs on a drive Edited February 3, 2019 by diesel97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people copy and store theirs on a drive you can also save the oem file to your computer. I keep mine there. Though I've been tuned for the past 40k miles and even had transmission housing replaced with tune applied. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel97 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 thanks, I would lose it on my computer LOL. Funny the stuff I save and can never find again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I would consider saving the file to a labeled reliable USB device and marking the contents, then socking away with your critical assets. Probably overkill, but you want it to be easily available to you, in case you decide to sell the vehicle, or you have to replace the PCM, etc. It is a safety measure, insurance. Hope you don't need it, but have it if you do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
