2025 2.3L Ford Performance Tune

[DesertMike680]

I just had mine installed by dealer to keep my warranty intact, but could have easily done it myself. I've used handheld tuners on my mustangs in the past, these things are user friendly for canned tunes.

I also drive the 7 gear manual transmission 2025 and I can say adding the tuner made me fall in love with this thing again. The shifting is smoother, I am assuming the turbo stays spooled more between shifts so you lose any sort of roughness or bogging down effect between shifts at all speeds.

I hammered it getting on the freeway yesterday and shot past a car that was moving slowly for freeway entering and was very impressed. It just kicks hard.

I drove 2 hours yesterday to Sevierville/pigeon forge and averaged 21.3 mpg on the highway which is more than I usually get. It makes 5 and 6 more useable, less downshifting involved.

415 lb-ft is no joke.

This is awesome. Where did you order it from? Lethal Performance?

Yep. Got it from lethal and had Ford of Dalton (Georgia) install.

Just freaking order it, you won't regret it.

I pre-registered and brought them my user name and password for install.

I will do so! Strange enough, it seems like some days the power in my 2025 Badlands with manual dips a bit. I dont get it.

Considering the tune and very interested. I’m mostly sold just still on the fence about price and premium moving forward. I believe the gains will be worth it. Here is my question, I’ve seen videos saying you create a “backup of stock calibration”. If my tire size has been adjusted via forscan due to bigger tire size would that need to be reverted to stock info prior to the tune?

Are there any Performance Tunes (Ford, Panda, Cobb, ...) for the 2.3L 2025/2026 that are legal in California?

None yet that I know of...Ford Performance is just waiting on CARB.

I’m probably late to the party but I can’t seem to find the correct information. Does M-9603-B23A work on a 2026? I worked the install into my purchase but the dealer said it wouldn’t take the tune. What’s the story?

That is the correct part number, same as what I used for my 2025's tune.

There is no Ford performance tune released for 2026 yet.
It will most likely be the same part number as the 2025 kit when released, but if you buy it right now, it’ll just be a paper weight.

Thank you for the quick response.

Expensive paperweight. What a dummy. I guess I’ll wait.
