About this remap

Ford Mustang 5.2L V8 32V 526 hp Stage 1 — what changes

The Ford Mustang 5.2L V8 32V 526 hp (2018–) leaves the factory at 526 BHP and 582 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.

Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the 5.2L V8 32V 526 hp powertrain (petrol). The result is 540 BHP and 599 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
