Harey Member 32 Member For: 16y 1m 29d Posted 18/09/09 05:37 AM Share Posted 18/09/09 05:37 AM Hi Guys,I am about to order an FG XR6T lease car. Are there any tuning options that are completely hidden from Ford? Some way to switch between tunes or something? I have a set of 60lb injectors, so I was thinking I could switch back to the stock tune and change the injectors each time I drop into Ford for a service.Does anyone else do this or know if it can be done?Any help much appreciated!

But I dont think its a silly question.

Harey Member 32 Member For: 16y 1m 29d Posted 22/09/09 01:25 AM Author Share Posted 22/09/09 01:25 AM So basically they will still service it, its just if anything went wrong you wouldnt be covered by warranty?
