User Manual

Evolution FORD 4.6 and 5.4 Liter

Tow Performance Program (87+ octane fuel)

This setting not only provides improved transmission shifting, but will also

modify the ignition timing and fuel injection strategies to improve the

performance of your vehicle. This level is designed to run with 87 octane

fuel, although you may realize additional benefits by running 89 octane (or

better) fuel. 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 (91+ octane fuel)

This is the highest performance setting for the Evolution. The fuel injection

and ignition 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. Due to the high

performance nature of this setting, you will be required to run 91 octane (or

better) fuel.

Note: At the back of this manual, we have included commonly used acronyms. This

should help while using the Evolution.

PIDs

The Evolution allows the user to view up to 4 PIDs at one time. Below is a

list and description of each PID you can choose to display:

• RPM (revolutions per minute) – Engine speed.

• MPH (miles per hour) – Note: Dash display may be +/-3 MPH off

from the digital display due to mechanical differences in the spring,

etc. used to control the gauge.

• ECT (engine coolant temperature) – Degrees F.

• EOT (engine oil temperature) – Degrees F.

• TFT (transmission fluid temperature) – Degrees F.

• CHT (cylinder head temperature) – Degrees F.

• IAT (intake air temperature) – Degrees F.

• LPD (line pressure desired) – Fuel rail pressure desired by the PCM.
