Ford Tuning

PSP are Ford tuning specialists, with over 11 years of Ford tuning experience, as well as factory Ford technical training, and dealership tech experience. We can do Ford tuning for mostly all Ford vehicles from 96 to present. We use SCT, Diablosport, and Autologic Ford tuning products.

 

Ford devices we CAN tune for/with:

  • SCT brand chips, SCT Xcalibrator 1, SCT Xcalibrator 2, SCT Xcalibrator 3, SCT LiveWire

  •  

  • Diablosport black revolution/CMR/Delta chips, Diablosport Predator

  •  

  • Autologic chips (these are older tuning chips no longer used, but we can do tuning on vehicles with them depending on the vehicle)

  •  

Ford devices we CAN'T tune for/with:

  • Anything made by Superchips (not SCT)

  •  

  • Diablosport RED chips

  •  

  • Anything made by JET, Hypertech, Sniper, or any other brand other than SCT, Diablo, or Autologic

 

We can supply you with a new chip or flash tuner if you need one.

 

 GM Tuning

Our GM tuning is done with the latest software from HP Tuners, and is directly flashed to the vehicle. We can tune all 98-up LS based vehicles (LS1, LS2, LS7, etc). We cannot tune LT1 based cars at this time.

 

Since we are SCT and Diablosport dealers, we can also get flash devices for GM vehicles from both companies per customer request. This would include tuners for the Duramax diesel trucks, with multiple tunes to choose from.

 

 Carb Tuning

We can also do custom tuning for carbed vehicles. We can adjust idle mixture, and WOT jetting. Most carb motors are not very close to optimum air/fuel ratio, and can usually benefit greatly from being checked on the dyno for proper jetting. At this time, we only do carb tuning for Holley based carbs, and we stock a full selection of jets and gaskets.

 Other Vehicle Tuning
 We do not currently support tuning products or software for Dodge or import vehicles. However, if the customer has his own tuning software, we may be able to dyno tune the vehicle using the customer's software. Please contact us with your vehicle info and what tuning software you have and we can check to see if we can tune with it for you.  

Mail Order Tuning
PSP has extensive experience with mail order Ford tuning and has been doing it for over 10 years. We would be happy to do a custom chip or flash tuner via mail order for your Ford vehicle. In most cases, it would be a good idea to get the air/fuel checked on a chassis dyno and let us know the results, so we can see if the tune needs adjustments. The only vehicles we won't do mail order, are very complex combinations that we feel must be done in person. Contact us about mail order tuning and we can let you know if we can do your vehicle or not.  

Out of State Tuning
PSP does offer out of state tuning for clubs. We can come and tune at your local dyno shop. Generally, this requires 10-20 vehicles for a weekend (2-3 days of tuning) for us to come out and tune. If you are interested, drop us a line and we can discuss the details.

 Dyno and Tuning Rates 

To have your vehicle dyno tuned, your price will include BOTH the dyno rates (for however many pulls we need to do) and the tuning rates (for however long it takes) below. Other shops just charge a standard one price rate for tuning. We don't like the standard rate pricing. Even though our method may seem a little more complex, it works out better for both us and the customer. If we charged, say a $500 standard rate, and it only took us an hour and a few pulls to tune the vehicle, then in reality we've overcharged the customer. Other shops don't mind this because they can rush through your tuning so they can make more money from it. On the flip side, if we charge $500 and we spend 6 hours and 10 pulls tuning a vehicle, then we just lost our shirt on the job. Other shops that charge a set rate, will rush tuning a complex vehicle so they DON'T lose money tuning at a set rate. At PSP, our belief is you pay for the proper job to tune your vehicle. If it takes 2 hours or 10 hours, you pay the proper price for the proper job, and there is no reason whatsoever for us to rush anything. We do the job right, for as little or as long as needed.

 

Dyno Rates

 Two pulls with air/fuel* - $100 (unlike most other shops, we do not charge extra for air/fuel readings!)

 

Each pull after the first two (if desired) is $25 extra

 

Example:  5 pulls with air/fuel* (no tuning) would be $175 (100+25+25+25)

 

Diesel trucks are an additional $25 surcharge (we have to hook up an optical sensor to get a tach signal on diesels)

 

Optional graphed inputs are an additional $25 surcharge (if you want us to log boost, fuel pressure, or another analog input from your car onto the dyno graph)

 

* We prefer to check air/fuel buy putting the wide band sensor directly into the exhaust. Usually we will remove a rear 02 sensor to do this. If your vehicle does not have a provision for this, we can weld in a separate bung, for a $50 fee. Naturally, this would be a one time needed procedure, as this new bung can be used any time you bring the vehicle in.

 

Tuning Rates

 Ford Tuning

 

For 96-up Ford Vehicles, tuning is $100 for the first hour, and $50 each additional hour.

 

For 87-95 Ford Vehicles, tuning is $100 per hour.

 

Ford dyno tuning rate example: 2003 Cobra -  5 dyno pulls (100+25+25+25), 2 hours tuning (100+50), and customer requested boost graphing (25) = $350 total tuning price.

 

GM Tuning

 

$200 for the first hour, and $50 each additional hour.

 

The reason for the higher first hour rate over Ford tuning, is because our GM tuning is 100% software based. Ford owners must spend $300-$400 on a tuning device (chip or flash tuner), and then get tuned. With the direct flash tuning for GMs, there is no hardware. In the place of hardware, GM tuning costs "credits" that allow us to tune your car. So even though the tuning rate is higher than Ford tuning, it's still overall cheaper to tune a GM vehicle because the customer is not spending $400 on a flash device.

 

GM dyno tuning example: 2001 Camaro - 4 pulls (100+25+25), 3 hours tuning (200+50+50) = $450 total tuning price. Again, even though the Ford example above shows a cheaper tuning price, the customer of that car had to buy a $400 programmer for the flashing, bringing his actual total tuning cost to $750.

 

Carb Vehicle Tuning

 

$100 per hour, plus any parts (jets, gaskets, etc)

 

Other Vehicle Tuning (using customer's software)

 

$100 per hour

 

Please Note!

 

Please plan to leave your vehicle with us for a few days for tuning. We do NOT do "tuning while you wait", nor do we allow any customer to stand and watch us while we are tuning. If you want to take a video of your car on the dyno, we can sometimes arrange for you to come down after we are done for an extra pull, if we have time to leave your car on the dyno.

 

Club Dyno Days

 

We are more than happy to host some dyno days for any local clubs. We can do these on a Sunday if that makes things easier for the club members. Discounted rates will apply for large groups, and those rates will be set based on the number and type of vehicles. There is NO tuning on dyno days, regular pulls only.  Please contact us for more info.
