Default Dyno tune prep

Hi all.


I've pulled the trigger and booked my car in for a tune next month.

Just wondering if there's anything I should be doing before the tune?

Plugs are OEM Ford ones and gapped to 1.1mm about 5k km ago.

Engine oil changed about 1500km ago.
Power steering fluid (through a failure) is brand new.
Trans fluid (ZF auto) changed around 10k km ago.
Air filter is K&N and will be cleaned closer to date.


Anything I should do in preparation for it?

Are you changing any parts. How much boost you aiming for. If above 10psi fit a set of bf lpg plugs from Ford. They are gapped factory at 0.7 and cost $60 for 6

Yeah I was going to say gap the plugs to 0.7mm.

Also fuel filter?

Yeh fuel filter if it's more than 50k old. Gapping from 1.1 to 0.7 leaves a bad angle for the electrode. Plugs have to come out so may as well replace with new ones
