- I am thrilled to install the new Ford Performance Calibration for the 2.3L Ford Bronco.
The link to the ProCal 4 can be found here:

The long-awaited Ford Performance Calibration is finally available for the new 2021+ Ford Bronco, and while some systems may have made it to market sooner, it doesn’t mean it’s late to the game. Power is instantly gained by changing parameters within the ECU including ignition timing, boost levels, and fuel delivery.
The Ford Performance Calibration takes the stock 2.3L EcoBoost from 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque to 330 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. Yes, that nearly matches the numbers of the stock 2.7L EcoBoost Bronco that brings 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
If you ordered a 2.3L EcoBoost Ford Bronco because of the constraints that were once on the 2.7L, you may find the calibration a necessity for your wanted power. The only downside I found to the ProCal 4 is that it was not completely plug-and-play. You need a Windows Operating System to download the performance file and get the ProCal 4 registered to your vehicle. However, with the little bit of work needed to get it set up, the power gained is well worth it in the end.
I put the Ford Performance Calibration to the test in my own 2021 Ford Bronco 2.3L Ecoboost, and the initial power felt is a substantial difference from stock. With the help from my dragy, I was able to see that I went from a 2.89 60ft all the way down to a 2.66 60ft and in the ⅛ mile, I went from 10.97 to a 10.36. The data I obtained from my own testing can be found in my video and will show that the Ford Performance Calibration is well worth the investment.

Hey there! LOVE your channel and I just installed this tune on my own Bronco 2.3 2 door Big Bend with Sasquatch and it's AWESOME!!! It was your reaction in this video that cemented me going ahead and buying the tune. THANK YOU!!! :)
Are you still thinking the tune was worth it ?
When I had an Ecoboost Mustang the Ford Performance tune made a big difference. I had the dealership install it for warranty purposes.
A tale of caution here, had the Ford Performance tune and throttle body loaded onto my 5.0 Mustang by the dealership drove it home and put it in the garage. Went to drive it 3 days later and it had all kinds of warning lights and wouldn't run. Because a Ford dealership installed it the tow and all repairs were covered. Hate to think what would have happened if I did it myself. Just something to keep in mind if anyone does decide to get the tune.
Thanks for the word of caution
Great review, especially with the draggy. I’ll be adding this to my 2.7
Same
That’s a nice little unit. Lots of features.
I’m so happy with it! I’m loving the power!
First order from Lethal Performance. Thanks you buckleup! Can not wait to get this tune installed on my 2021 2.3L. Had a Ford Focus RS with Cobb tune and thought it was great. This is more of a torque story, but I'm sure Ford Performance took their time with it.JCG
I’m so happy with it!!
Thank you Buttercup.. This convinced me to but the Procal from Lethal Performance.. Seemed to be best price around.. Your video SOLD the system.. GO BUTTERCUP 🎉
You will love it!!
I like the tune with the manual
Nothing like being an amature tuning a vehicle!
Let me ask with this tune and the (need to use 93 octane premium fuel ? ) what hmm how do i say , what do you do in some or most situations where as you drive to small rual town in wich they( DO NOT provide 93 premium ) only regular at there station ?? Will this harm the vehicle , and is this always a must use ?? In fuel type . And do all other tunes require the same ?? Hope i asked this right
Hey Jim & Krista... as always love the content, you guys are great! But a few questions:
So here's my build - 2.3 7spd manual, blow off, MBRP cat back, K&N, Pedal Commander, 33x12.50, Bilstein 6100 2.4". Oh, and 2 door Base (shorty)
So my main concern (last truck was a 6.2 supercharged F250)... is the engine temp on these Eco boosts a concern? not used to seeing 200+ . So I'm hitting around 190 with what i listed above. Does the Ford tuner lower the temp or should I look at an intercooler/ down pipe? Or should I just do the 5.2 VooDoo swap from HTX and be done?
Just dont want to pop the lil 2.3 before its time.
I say the engine swap, and then bring it here so I can drive it 😀
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV Lol! actually, I ordered the ProCal two days after my original post - thanks for the promo code BTW! I've had it installed for 5 days now, and love it! I also pre-ordered the Mishimoto intercooler kit (MMINT-BR23-21K). It will be here in early March. Says it lowers the temp by about 21 degrees.
Next time you visit Bodyguard, let me know, I'm only 80 miles to the south west of them - I'll let you send it 🙂. My brother and I are doing the TX Off-Rodeo on 11/25, can't wait.
Yes that's normal. Bronco has grill shutters. It keeps temps in 190-200 range because it's more efficient.
What kind of bracket did you have to hold the pro cal and phone?
When programming modules, the "scary" warnings are normal. The regular communication on the CAN bus gets interrupted during the programming session. So the messages for those modules don't get through and the warnings get shown by default. I've done this stuff for work hundreds/thousands of times.
I need this!!! Are you going to do a follow up video about this? Is there one for the 2.7?
Yes I will have a follow up video out tomorrow at 5pm est!
My bronco is stock. And max boost was 24psi. I was going up a mountain. 2.3 7 spd
I have a 22' manual as well but only have seen it as high as 19.
Makes the 2.3 worth looking at now imo.
Thanks
Does that device need to stay plugged in all the time or can you unplug it after you tune?
You can unplug once it’s flashed!
Do you have to keep it constantly plugged in? Or can you just calibrate it then unplug it?
You can unplug and put away!
I’m having trouble getting the performance tune to download into the calibration device from the program on my pc… I keep getting a “device not connected” message.
Same happened to me, just keep trying and it eventually worked.
I just had this installed at the dealership, so it wouldn't void my warranty. I found after I got it back the Auto-Stop is now persistent after the vehicle is off. I know you have the bypass installed, so you probably wouldn't have noticed it, if the Calibration kit did it. Or if my Dealer Tech disabled it somehow. Be interested if anyone else who got this experienced the same.
I think that’s a feature you can turn off with the pro cal, just hook it up and choose the setting.
How long was the waiting for it
What other features can it do? Can it do some forscan changes?
There are other things it can do, they update often. I would check the ford performance website for the latest updates.
Do you have to leave the Ford Performance Calibration w/ ProCal 4 Calibration Delivery Tool (2021-2022 Bronco 2.7L) - M-9603-B27 attached always?
No, once it’s flashed you can unplug and put away
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV Did you void any warrnties?
@@obx512 of course
Has anyone encountered an issue with the ProCal4 not seeing the Bronco's ECU? If so, how did you resolve this?
I have not, have you tried ford performance tech customer service
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV I did but they are not open on the weekends. Will try during the week. Great video BTW.
I was really looking forward to getting a car that I didn’t have to run super in.
If an intake and other parts are installed will it require a retune?
No
If you turn off the auto stop start, does it stay off the next time you start it?
Are you talking about pressing the button on your dash?
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV Yes, I heard that it makes it so you don’t have to push the button every time you start the car.
Does this affect your warranty because I would like to do it to my vehicle.
No
Did you uninstall the panda power pack, or do you plan to use them together?
I uninstalled the panda one for now, I’m going to compare to see which one I’ll keep.
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV Actually, you could probably use both together... It will probably give you even more boost.
@@mpeugeot I guess I will try something out when I am back from SEMA
@@mpeugeot I guess I will try something out when I am back from SEMA
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV I’d say the ford tune will be better because it also adjust your trans shift points the panda module doesn’t. Also if you are a manual bronco owner the tune comes with an option to add auto rev match and it works amazingly
Yeah my Ranger freaked out as well
If you read the fine print on the Ford Performance Calibration, if it is installed by an authorized Ford/Lincoln Dealer, Shelby America, or automotive technician certified by either ASE or RSE it will not void the new car warranty. Sounds like it is not a good idea to do a DIY installation.
Thanks
You only have to get a Ford tech to install the tune if you didn't purchase the tuner from Ford...
0-60 comparison?
What will break first? Driveline,axles,tranny,differential?
Why dont you do a comparison video between the Panda motorsports tune, the ford motorsport and the JB4 tune. Two are piggy backs and of course the Ford performance is ECU. I put on some race wheels adn am trying to get decent gas mileage due to the 2 doors tiny fuel tank. Ford performance told me you have to remove their tune prior to applying another one.
No sense to do Panda Motorworks one, after doing the FP… that one literally stinks!
Next stop Bessemer Alabama to see Mitch 😂
Haha yeah!!!
Can I combine this with the jb4?
I don’t recommend it.
Never knew a Ford canned tune existed 🤔 nice.
BUCKLEUP isn’t working for a discount on the Ford Performance calibration at Lethal Performance.
Let me see why, I’ll contact them!
Thanks
I'm still waiting to see the 150 HP N2O shot... Buttercup is still slower than my stock Bronco.... ;)
I’m waiting for you install it 😂
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV You've got your nitrous fan there... I am sure that he's got a spare kit.
So can you go back to stock?
Yes, you can!
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV I’m in.
You're going to be on a first name basis with all the Florida sheriff's in your county.
Unless they changed the laws you can only take driving school once a year in Florida to avoid insurance surcharges😊
😂😂😂
Henceforth buttercup shall be called “the starship enterprise. “ from the look on your face… You liked it!🐶
😂😂
very interesting video. The tune does seem to help with the numbers. Also, think you both make a cute couple!! Merci
Aw thanks! I liked this one so much I put it on my new one!
Ok I think by now it’s clear you and the IAG guy are dating
Now what makes you say that🤔
She(and he)posted about it on Instagram, so yes, you are correct.
Ya think?!?
Oh yeah, you know it's on like Donkey Kong.
P.S. I’m not with IAG anymore 😉
@@BuckleUpGarage_ fair point... LOL
That tune is trash, lol.
😂 there's always a useless hater I guess
Hii is it possible to switch back and forth between tune and stock on the procal
Yes, you would need the procal each time to do it
