If you saw my other post about "Confusion regarding TVS" and my 2010, I just want to follow up on it if anyone cares.
To summarize:
I had a 2008 GT500 and installed the TVS "Super Pack" on it, and ran the Ford ProCal tune. When I upgraded to a 2010 model, I kept the TVS, but wasn't sure if I could even use it on my 2010.
I was in contact with Tom Magyar at Ford Racing, and they sent me a new SIMM card for my Procal, so I can run the TVS, and my procal is "registered" to my new car. There was no charge for this service and I think that is cool as hell.
"I am in NO WAY suggesting that aftermarket tunes are not a good way to go"
I know a lot of you guys go the "custom tune" route and your cars are faster than mine is/was, but... I REALLY like the way Ford Racing has produced products that we "regular guys" can install, upload the FACTORY tune, get perfect driveabilty and have no worries. Yes, my car will probably be less of a performer than one with a tune from XX tuner or company, but it's worth mentioning that you can get very good results and do it all yourself with the way Ford Racing has structured the "parts bin". My '08 ran perfectly with the Procal and I never had so much as a hiccup with it. I installed the TVS kit in a few hours, uploaded the tune and was out driving it that same afternoon. :rockon:
By the way, I have a FRP CAI I can't use anymore that fits 07-09 GT500's and will sell it cheap. PM me if interested.
