Hi Kevbol. If by "Performance Chip Tuning" you are referring to a plug-in "chip", then the answer is no. That is because no reputable auto specialty parts manufacturer makes "Performance Tuning Chips" for modern vehicles. They are worthless.

On the other hand, you can look for companies that supply custom and/or canned tunes for hand held tuners. These tuners reprogram the PCM/TCM etc.. You use a hand held tuner, along with their loaded tunes, an OBDII USB cable and a laptop computer. More expensive than those snake oil "chips" from the 90's and 00's, but they can actually present results.

However, if you care about your warranty coverage, there are some things to keep in mind though: Using either may/will result in warranty claims issues if you have engine and/or transmission issues later.

Therefore, assuming your 2023 is still within the 4 year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Warranty and 6 year/70,000 mile Powertrain Warranty, you will want to think long and hard before performing this type of modification. Using them can result in denied warranty claims later, especially for major engine/transmission issues.

And yes, despite what the tuner/chip manufacturers may state in their advertising and marketing brochures, the auto manufacturer is well within their rights to deny warranty claims on vehicle with modified engine/transmission programming. In fact, they look for modifications when vehicles have issues/warranty claims. And they can find them easily, even when the "Chip" or tune has been removed.

I am not telling anyone not to modify their vehicle if they would like to, only making the possible warranty ramifications known, so owners can make informed decisions.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

What's going on here? The Corsair GT already has an outrageous amount of power for what it is. If possible I'd sure like to detune for improved EV range, improved mpg.

That’s weird you ask that and look at the advertisement that comes up lol. It has one for Lincoln Corsair. I wouldn’t do it though. It’s “good enough” not a race car lol

That is crazy! I was just curious about the performance mod. I don’t have the Corsair yet. 3 months if I’m lucky.
 
If you are really intrested go read the Maverick Truck Forums. Mavericks share the same 2.0L engine. Numerous members there have added the canned tunes if you will. Some with amazing results.
Members posting their performance gains in 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers.

Lots of talk also about impact on possible warranty issues.

Like I said before. It’s good enough. I laugh at people that do that. Unless your name is Carol Shelby or Enzo Ferrari your tuner don’t know more than the people that made the car. Where I live I laugh because all the rich parents have pickup trucks with exhausts and tunes. It’s a pickup truck not a nascar lmao

@olderbudweiser didnt mean you. Was just speaking in general of putting tunes on cars. Nothing worse than seeing like a 100k car that sounds like a lawnmower and backfires lol

Some of the members have their Mavericks running in the 12 sec bracket for a 1/4 mile. Without the fart can sound......🤣.

One member has a performance shop and is selling kits for the 2.0L Maverick with the 2.3 L Corsair Turbo, different boost possibilities.

I'm past that. Once the auto companies went away from Carburetors and point/condenser systems I was out. If I could not do it with my hands. I'm not turning it over to a computer. Thats like buying a pre written term paper for school. IMO
 
There are people that are knowledgeable. I think though we get the Corsair for the gas mileage, quiet and comfortable ride. When things are pushed past their normal limits I would suspect the longevity goes down.

4 years 50 k miles
Then gone 😊

Ford Motor Company does not gear performance towards Lincoln vehicles.
Ford builds models targeted at markets. For the performance market the company builds Mustang.

With the Corsair 2.0l coming in at 250 hp and the 2.3l engine pushing 300hp on a vehicle less than 4000 pounds.
That is pretty similar to a base non-GT Mustang.

Ford Motorsport is now called Ford Performance. You can go there and not much applies to a Lincoln
