If you are tuning or are interested in seeing changes in detail I would recommend it but you don't need it.

No, it's not necessary but some of had have an obsession with shiny lights and figuring out what they mean.... :blink:
Wow! That's awesome! I didn't know DTV was available on the MKZ. That is a huge step up in performance.
Strangely, I see the Drivers Package listed as an available feature on Lincoln.com, but it's not in the build your own section as an option. Do you recall what the package adds to the cost?

Thanks! I see what I was doing wrong. I had not selected AWD. I thought that was mandatory with the 3.0 motor. Can you imagine an MKZ with only FWD and the 3.0? That would have to make for a horrible combination.
Yeah, I get enough more than enough torque steer from a dig, even with the awd because the car is based on the front drive platform. I think it'd be pretty miserable without the awd. Maybe some front drivers will weigh in differently.sholxgt said:BizzyGeek said:Start with a reserve trim 300a awd build and add the 3.0t. You'll get the drivers package option to show up.

The drivers package torque vectoring/sport diff made this car good enough for me that I could compromise on some drivability and not go with a Q50 Red Sport or 340i, both true drivers cars, in exchange for a little more cabin tech and some comfort/livability. I agonized over the decision, but I feel like it's more than enough performance for a daily driver. Five years and a few kids ago, I probably would've made a different choice

Good luck! I will call it a 13.7 or better (maybe even 13.5) depending on how badly torque management screws you over but you should do better than the 13.8-14.0 the 2.7 sees just from the larger displacement giving you more topend pull.
I'd love it if you could record an accurate sea level 0-60 somehow. Nobody has published one anywhere that I've been able to find. My best guess is about five flat, but that's based on nothing but intuition.Zalvern said:Not too worried about the PTU, as I have yet to see any temperature ranges in stock tune that get above standard operating temperature. I'll give it QuantumBlue gear oil to be even more golden in durability terms.
What exactly the 3.0T Engine has going for it is still a mystery. I may see if my Cleveland Engine Plant X-Plan sponser can get any information from the Lima Engine Plant where the 3.0T is made. As in comparison to the 3.5L and 2.7L Ecoboost Engine. There are no articles on the 3.0T's design sadly.
Now this Friday I will be going back to the drag strip at Edgewater Sports Park, as it is test n' tune night. I'll be taking my laptop with me for deeper FORScan logging.
Time to see what slip times I can really get. Old issue was the uncanny charge air temp spike to 170 degrees, nullifying a lot of launch power. I know how to avoid that now. Nearing 4000 miles so experience has been gained.

Zalvern, the last time you ran, the DA was terrible and you didn't have many miles on the car. You also admitted that your launch technique could be improved. Everything should be better now so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 13.5. I hope it is even quicker! I agree with Bizzy on a 5 flat 0-60. There are calculators on line that provide a very accurate 0-60 based on your 1/8 mile ET and speed. Once we see a good timeslip, we can also get a good idea of the 0-60.
We shall refer to it as "The Great Flouncing"...limited02 said:May I ask what happened?

What? I'm assuming I missed some sort of drama. Bummer.
