Custom Tuning

American MotorSport offers customized programmming for most Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.  All of our programs are made-to-order.

Given our expansive database and experience, we can usually get it there or 90-95% there on the first burn - no matter how complex or unique your combo is.

If it is not right the first time, we will make changes at no charge until it is.  This includes making changes based on a dyno graph with a/f (if needed), at the customer's option.
