Wow. $825 for that kind of power boost AND covered by the factory warranty??!! Why not?! After break-in, think I'll check that out. Thanks for the tip.

I just called a Ford dealer here in Virginia, they said, it is not covered under warranty I have to purchase the tool kit and pay for the installation.

It’s an upgrade, same as any, eg a new exhaust, from Ford Performance. It is not a defect remediated by Ford, so you’re not getting through your factory warranty. It’s a new product, sold by Ford Performance, and what folks are excited about is that it does not invalidate your original three year/36k mile Ford factory warranty. BUT if you have an aftermarket warranty from Ford, installing this upgrade will invalidate that extended warranty (per my dealer.)

I’ve been trying to order one from ford for a few weeks, but it appears not to be in stock. The 2.3 and 2.7 versions are available.

I had my Ford dealer install this about a month ago and had a noticeable increase in acceleration and I find that the changes to the throttle response make the truck feel more sporty around town. Then I took it offroad and am not quite as happy with the upgrade. I've been rock crawling several times now and am finding that the throttle is more sensitive to small movements which makes it very difficult to be smooth when crawling up and over hard obstacles. I've been out on hard rock trails twice now since the upgrade and am not really able to get back to the smooth and controlled throttle use that I'm used to. It's great for ripping around on dirt trails but I may have to find some other product to allow me to make the throttle less sensitive for the first quarter of throttle travel or so or failing that I may even uninstall it and return to stock. That would kinda suck though since the upgrade has restored the performance I had before I increased my tire size to 39" mud terrains. So, in my opinion, the upgrade does what it promises to do but that change comes at a cost if your into hard and slow crawling.
