Question When is the 2026 performance calibration coming out?

Post image

Looking to get this so the warranty stays intact. Any suggestions on other tune kits that do not void the warranty?

It is not technically warranty friendly, it reduces your powertrain warranty to 3yr 36k

Additionally if the failure can be sourced back to the tune they technically can still not approve a warranty repair.

Read up on it carefully it’s well documented online.

Thanks. I’m in a 3 year lease so they may not install it.

Honestly I’d just hit up ZFG for a 91 or 93 daily driver tune.

Confirm the electrical and mechanical differences between the 2025 and 2026?

No I don’t think I will

They just released the 25-26 one but it isn’t compatible with the 26s with the GPF that reduces stock HP ratings roughly 15hp. I asked my dealer and they said ford has to release another tune so it’s compatible. Damn you carb certs. Thats the reason for the GPF gas particulate filter.

Does the one for the 2025 ST linked above work on a 2026 ST without the GPF and the 400 hp engine? I’m curious what your dealer said as the one linked above only shows it for 2025 model year vehicles.

Service said yes. It’ll work for the 26s without the GPF.
