Hey guys,
I'm looking to get my stock svt tuned, I heard this is the best mod for the svt because the tunes on this car are very conservative. Has anyone had their tune done at DB Performance? Results? Or if you had your tune somewhere else, what were the results?

Well even though most people aren't fond of "turbotom", I have had his predator tune with the mods listed in my sig for over a year and I absolutely love how the car drives. Real good for daily and she screams at full throttle. Almost seems a shame to be thinking of the FSWerks SVT turbo with how well this engine is as N/A.

When tuning foci, can you get rid of the limiter at 108mph?

It's totally worth it, a stock SVT dynos about 140 hp and 128 lb ft at the wheels.

My SVT with nothing more than a tune did 154 hp and 140 lb ft, not to mention fixing a bunch of the stock tuning glitches these things have.

Get a tune, it's worth it, FS Werks or Unique Tuning 8)

i can't speak for focus's, but i can show you this:

on my svt contour 3L. the car ran like a$$ before danny got his hands on it. now it idles perfect, never gets over 205', and has insane throttle response.


blue is before red is after. note the torque increase

On a somewhat related note, I know someone who is looking for a good tune on their svt, and would like to put nitrous on it. Suggestions?
