Default Computer "pursuit" programming?

sounds kinda like what a chip can do for you... maybe a performance tune?

I had an early version Edge Evo(?) years ago that made my truck shift quick and clean. As I recall there were three canned tunes , towing, 87oct,91oct. Surf over to the Edge site or look up Power Hungry Performance.

At some point you have to pay for brain power.

Most likely a reflash was available for the Crown Vics for Police interceptor option used by police but you can obtain much better results (power and performance) from a hand held flasher (SCT or Edge)
