Default MY FRPP TUNE IS SICKKKK!!!!!!

I got the FRPP tune (M-9603-MGTB) installed this morning on my 2013 GT/CS, can't say enough positive things! Anyone looking for that little extra without wanting to risk warranty work this is for you!

Throttle response- check
Added power- check
Improved exhaust tone- check
Better MPG- check

Even the shifting feels more direct and substantial. I love it!

Purchased the M-9603-MGTB from Buyfordracing.com for $289.00
Dealer intall- $111.30 out the door
Retaining my warranty while unleashing the performance- PRICLESS

AGREED- THIS SHOULD BE THE FACTOR TUNE

Manual, yea but it seems to feel more solid.. IDK if its my imagination or what but I'm not complaining. My MGW arrives tomorrow, hope to install this weekend. I saw your looking at one as well.

I was averaging 14.8 around the city. Same commute post install, with a little more aggressive driving mind you, I'm seeing 16.9. Haven't done any highway driving yet. I'm thinking because it is more efficient

Believe it or not, I've noticed improved shifting with different tunes. I think it is just an effect of the throttle response making for smoother downshifts and transitions between upshifts.

Wait, you paid the ford dealer $111.30 to replace the air filter (which you supplied) and load the tune from the tuner? Really?

Retains my warranty - worth it to me. Not chancing a brand new car. To each is their own.

Lol, yeah it's pricey to keep your warranty

Like, really??? The OP just had it installed today and you're asking a question that requires at least 10-20 fill-ups to get an accurate estimate of average fuel mileage.

I wonder how the OP would feel with one of those warranty crushing and more powerful custom tunes from AM or Brenspeed?
