I was surprised in town I can feel the difference in the throttle response on my 2010 Suburban I don’t know about fuel milage I only had it a couple weeks so far
Installed the level 3 chip in my 2014 MKZ 3.7 V6 . I never noticed a big change in mileage maybe 2 more MPG. But it leveled my response in acceleration was amazing it feels smoother . It pulls very strong. On city roads it seems to pull stronger at lower RPM’s. Put the car in Sport mode with the Sport suspension selected and paddle shift. Blew my mind how quick from zero to 60 MPH. My buddy stopped watched me riding in the car and and did 4 speed tests. My car ran consistent
between 5.6 to 5.7 sec at 60 MPH . We un hooked the factory Governor and put a RPM shut off @ 6500 RPM . Top speed was GPS @ 159 MPH one pass and 163MPH second pass. Factory rated top is 149 MPH. I am very impressed. That is 14 more MPH on Top Speed WOW !! Bring on the BMW’s and the Lexus !!
Yes this is everything I have been wanting that’s not to expensive,I have the Lincoln MKT 2019 eco – twin turbo that is already pretty powerful with 365 horsepower this thorton performance chip gave me faster acceleration, more power and speed that’s very smooth, I even gained more mpg 7 bringing it to 15-22 mpg. Highly recommend to any and all people!!

Just installed the stage 3 today on a 2014 Lincoln MKZ 2.0 turbo. I was averaging consistently between 24 to 24.5 without the chip. I refilled the tank and drove it 115 miles. I averaged 29.7 mpg I was blown away. The car was already quick before with 240hp, I am just guessing but I think it took a full second off of my 0-60 acceleration, it flat out flies in sport mode now.
