Service manual

Ford 7.3 Liter Evolution
6
Stock Program
The Evolution automatically makes a backup of your stock program from your PCM
before writing a new program onto your PCM. This assures that you will have the stock
program if/when you desire to reprogram your vehicle to its original stock program.
It is strongly recommended prior to returning your vehicle to a service center or emissions
check that you return your vehicle’s computer to the stock program. In the event that the
service center re-flashes your vehicle’s computer (a common practice) and you have NOT
returned it to stock, your Evolution programmer will be rendered useless. If this happens,
call our technical support at (888) 360-EDGE and they can help you recover your
Evolution for a small fee. Follow the steps included in this manual for returning your
program to stock.
Transmission Only Program
This setting is the lowest level setting. It will provide firmer transmission shifts which
helps to increase the transmission life. It does not provide any engine performance
increase.
Tow Performance Program
This setting not only provides improved transmission shifting, but will also modify the
fuel timing and fuel injection strategies to improve the performance of your vehicle. You
should see an improvement in fuel economy as well as added horsepower and torque.
When towing a heavy load such as a boat or camper, we recommend you using this
setting.
High Performance Program
This is the highest performance setting for the Evolution. The fuel injection and fuel
timing strategies are aggressively tuned to extract the maximum performance from your
vehicle without sacrificing drivability or durability. The transmission strategy is modified
to take advantage of the increased engine performance by providing quicker, firmer shifts.
