Procal in Louisiana

[Heavyfoot]

I've been debating weather to go with the pro cal or not. I've read the horror stories of pinging, but then I've read others who haven't had any problems. I really don't want to void the warranty just yet with an aftermarket tune, but I cant stand the horrible throttle response on the stock tune and Everyone I talk to says they don't install frpp parts.
So my question is has anyone gotten one installed here in Louisiana? I'm from the baton rouge area!
Thanks for the help

I'm afraid to install a Tuner, don't need my car dead in the drive way ?

 

[Heavyfoot]

Well I was just reading on another forum about sct having an update for the tuners that is "suppose" to have the issues fixed. I don't know if anyone has had any failures after installing this new firmware. I think it's only been out for a day or so...(correct me if I'm wrong). But the procal isn't really the same as the sct tuner so it shouldn't have the same problems others are experiencing with the sct.

I'm selling a procal tuner with filter. Never had pinging issues.

Just a note to op, if it wasn't installed when you took delivery, I don think you can keep your warranty.

You can take it to the dealer for install and keep your warranty.

Yeah, I had it installed in Mandeville...in my driveway. LOL.

I was a ping victim, and mine was on the car in the dead of winter.

Not going to say whether you should buy it or not, that is your choice. However, my experience began as positive and quickly became negative.

Why negative? Just from the pinging issues, or...??

What part of BR r u in? I know a guy just got his 5.0 two weeks ago and he has a procal o it and he's I'm BR and it's running just fine

 

[truebluedevil02]

for the amount of power and over all improvement you get VS the risk of hurting the motor, and the annoying "ping" sound. Its not worth it IMO. Keep it stock until your ready to do it right.

side note: I dont get people complaining about the throttle response. My bone stock 2013 is just fine. Throttle response in my car is very close to instant.

i have installed mine on my 2011... at the beginning it did ping but slowly went away till no more ping even in the hot humid south Florida weather also do a crank sensor relearn once you have the Procal installed... it helps.

What's all involved in that!? Dealer required, or can it be done in a driveway?

Mike, I've actually read through your procal thread and that's the one thing that makes me worry about it. I hear a lot about the pinging.

Mine would ping in the heat. Back when it was cold it wouldnt. It was worth .2 at the track fyi.

I'm actually more toward walker. I just say baton rouge because others know where that is lol.
I'd be interested in checking out this procal car to see if it's worth the money.

Well the 2013 mustang throttle response must be amazing cause mine is lacking. I also have an auto. Idk if u may have a manual and that may make a difference in response.

I've got no throttle lag on my 13 auto, actually very pleased with it.

To keep the FRPP warranty a dealer must install it.

Crank sensor relearn can be done in your driveway. Just follow the instructions, press a few buttons, rev about 3k rpms IIRC and you're done. Results vary, just depends on your car. Procal is worth it if you can keep it from causing detonation. Definitely not worth it if it does ping. So it's a risk you'll have to take. If your PCM code is ZFK1, send me a PM.

Yeah, I had a pinger. The tune was pretty decent, but I could never rid myself of the ping. I went with AED for my tune, and I am a very satisfied customer.
