Default A little help please!

Hello,

I've had my car for about 3 weeks and love it. It's a 2009 GT. Well, it had a few parts installed already. What I need to know is if anyone has ever seen this sticker, and can tell me more about it? I'm in the process of trying to tune it with my intune, and I'm having some issues. Then I noticed this sticker and it has keywords in it the the guys over at diablosport were asking me about. Thanks a lot guys. I did a photo search on Google and all I got was info on Ford racing stickers.

It's on the shroud over the radiator. Right in front of the hood latch.

Ok, so I talked to the guys at FR, and they told me what I needed to know. I didn't know you could do that lol. Very helpful I must say. The question I have now is: how bad is it for a car to run lean? Damage wise? Basically I have to go to the dealership remove the ford tune before I can use my intune. With the CAI I have, I was told the car will run lean.

If you are running lean you could burn up some valves or catalytic converters ($ thousands to fix). Put the other CAI back on until you have Ford remove the Ford Racing calibration.

That sticker is meant to show you already have a performance tune on the car (through Ford Racing), not the stock tune. You either need to have a new tune from Ford Racing, or put the car back to the stock tune (through the dealer) like you are already planning on, before putting your InTune on.

How much is the dealership charging to remove the tune?

I haven't been able to take it yet. I'm in NC, and we've been having horrible weather lately. It'll probably be around $100 I would think.

$100 isn't bad at all, especially to play it smart. Good luck.
