New 2018 Owner - Tuning Quesiton
I'm a new 2018 SS owner. Converted from my 2017 Mustang GT I Whipple supercharged and built for light street/drag racing. Trying to learn more about my SS before I start making major mods.
Question:Is the PCM locked on these cars? I want to start with E85, CAI, CAM, and a tune with this car. I will not be boosting it like the Stang. Going for an autocross NA build, already have decided on the 1LE suspension package I will be installing in the next few weeks and already did the tires. |

M6 or A8? A8 TCM is locked on 17+ models. ECM is not locked. You will definitely want to get the TCM tuned to remove TQ management regardless of whether its a M6 or an A8.

Not 100% sure on that, but I believe they do. I have an A8 so I haven’t really looked into it. Regardless, an M6 doesn’t require any unlocking to be tuned by HPtuners

I believe that’s where some of the torque management is at on M6 cars. Again, I’m not 100% sure on this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A8 tcm needs to be sent off the HpTuners for tcm unlock done. Ecm you have to be connected to the internet the first time for the unlock to work.
