Comprehensive Transmission Tuning:

Unlike other tuning options on the market Calibrated Power's custom tuning doesn’t just stop at engine tuning. Often overlooked by consumers and manufactures alike, transmission tuning plays a crucial role in not only enhancing the power output of your 2015-2020 Ford Transit, but also offering enhanced durability, crucial for when additional power is added. By optimizing shift timing, speed and pressure, tuning provides firmer and more positive shifts under load, ensuring that the vehicle responds promptly and accurately to your commands, whether you're accelerating rapidly or towing heavy loads.

These shift timing adjustments also allow us to capture more of the additional power by extending your usable RPM range of each gear. Additionally, the refined torque converter lock-up strategy allows for smooth and efficient gear transitions across the entire rev range, enhancing overall drivability. This results in quicker, smoother shifting in any driving conditions, ultimately delivering a more responsive and less stressful driving experience. Custom transmission tuning ensures that your Transit not only performs at its best but also maintains durability and reliability across various driving scenarios.

Smart Features and Flexibility:

Calibrated Power takes their custom engine tuning to a whole new level with their included smart features that have the ability to enhance both performance and flexibility. Their SMART Octane Sensing feature will allow your vehicle to automatically adjust calibration parameters for different octane levels, seamlessly adapting to fuels ranging from 87 to 93+ octane. This feature ensures optimal performance by advancing ignition timing based on the fuel used, which not only maximizes power and torque but also helps in preventing engine knock. Additionally, the Flex Fuel Capability detects the ethanol content in the fuel and adjusts the air-fuel ratio accordingly, enabling the engine to run on a blend of up to 40% ethanol (E40). This flexibility allows for enhanced power output and efficiency without requiring additional hardware modifications. Together, these smart features provide a versatile and adaptive tuning solution that improves performance across various fuel types and blends, catering to both daily driving and high-performance needs.
