2019 3.0t AWD / DOES NOT NEED TUNE!


3.0t AWD

Recommended Posts

After 4 months of ownership I really believe you do not need to tune this car. What I’ve done is a drop in K&N air filter, put the car in sport mode and this thing flies. Seat of the pants it feels somewhere in the mid 12 second quarter mile pretty easy. Pulls like a freight train.

As somebody who tuned his previous MKZ, trust me, you are not going to run 12's stock. The sift points are lower stock and the engine most definitely makes more power when tuned for 93, keep in mind the calibration stock is to allow for 87. Mine with traction issues tuned on 93 went 12.7@108 and pulled an SRT Challenger 3 times by half a second at GLD in Union Grove, Wisc.

 

I now have a brand new stock 2020 MKZ and can feel the difference between the tuned 17 and my 20.

If you are happy then don't do anything else ? I've put an E40 tune, 70mm TB, and FMIC and it's ridiculous lol. 

 

Have you run it at the dragstrip? Mine with just a tune would squeal all 4 tires leaving the line for a good 15ft.

Just went to GLD last night, 3 MKZ there and a bunch of other Ecoboost Guys.  I know there are a couple that have gone like 13.1 bone stock so with so might be able to squeeze off a 12.99 but it would take some optimal conditions for sureand maybe some weight reduction.
