For personal use, yes. For track use, no.

Put it this way, :like:If it’s locked anywhere near my Mach 1 I’m certain no one will be disappointed in the performance. That’s 4 Sure.

In my experience with multiple remote tuners, they up the power and simultaneously make your car run like shit anyways. People should thank Ford for protecting them from themselves
remote tune? Sheesh. Good luck.
That’s why you take the car to the nearest reputable dyno shop for a tune after installing your mods. Get a baseline then tune for the actual setup. And unless you did something crazy with cams, your car should run stock quality.

It will only be locked to non partner vendors. I guarantee Ford Performance, Roush, possibly LIvernois and other tuners will have access to tuning this vehicle. These tuners already offer CARB tunes for current models. This is the future regardless of brand of manufacture.

We could be yelling fire before anyone's lit a match. Ford has indicated the new S650 ECU will be harder for 3rd party tuners to work with but they haven't said it's locked. What they are doing is joining the 21st century by having the ECU code encrypted so maybe no hackers can get into the car and hijack it or crash it. Remember the white hat hackers that drove a Jeep Cherokee off the road to prove how unsecure their chips were? It could lead to limiting how many tune companies can pony up (LOL) the dollar Ford will want for code access. Maybe the marginal players get left behind, but I expect the big players will be there.
