Hey guys sorry this is actually my first post but I have been lurking for a while ever since I bought my ST on July 4th!

I haven't seen anybody post a bone stock 2025 with just a ZFG 93 tune. I am on stock airbox, stock exhaust, stock intercooler, no diff brace, not lowered, literally nothing done but a tune.

Full weight, 1/2 tank of gas, launched around 2600 rpm

Best 0-60 4.45s
Best 1/4 mile 13.01 @ 103

No tune best:
0-60 5.44
1/4 mile 13.9 @ 99

Nice to see what the difference is with no mods.
correct me if I’m wrong- don’t they fine tune it over a bit of time as you send back the logs?
is this the first or final version?

any plan for more mods? Curious to see what really helps the most.
Thanks

How did you get a ZFG tune for a 2025? As far as I know, no one has cracked the encryption yet. :unsure:

OK, my bad, I missed it! That's great they finally cracked it! It was just a matter of time.

Livernois and HPTuners cracked it about a month ago.

That’s about the time I was away and wasn’t on here much. I knew they would crack it. I disagreed when they said it was gonna be a long, long time before they cracked it.

Yes so it is actually really cool - they send you a baseline 93 octane tune and then you do some data logs for your tuner and he goes over them and sends you revisions to customize and fully dial in your tune. After we were on the 3rd revision my tuner said everything was good to go! So these numbers are all from my final version.

And yes I already ordered an intercooler and all the charge pipes - I have come to believe if you are going to do a tune you have to do the intercooler too. The IATs are really high and are robbing power. Might do exhaust next mostly for looks!

Ford gave them the code after the Big Beautiful Bill passed.
I thought it was a leak.
