Regardless which does what, they both trick the computer to do different things whether that be throttle response or more boost. A tune can do both of these things SAFELY and add more power. Idk about anyone else but Id rather spend a couple more hundred bucks and actually go faster than feel like I'm going faster because I have better throttle response.
I mean it only "preserves" your warranty if u take it out prior to bringing it in. And if u do this, ur playing the system which is unethical. It doesnt add power, it just gives it more throttle without having to press on the peddle as much. If I go WOT and u go WOT, we will both be putting out the same throttle response. But if u go 60% throttle, I have to push more on the pedal to get the same feeling. But in terms of the power curve its all the same. But lets not hijack this thread anymore LOL.
Which intercooler did you have in mind? I was thinking CP-E since the delivery pressure is just about the same as stock and would not affect performance.
I haven't decided yet. My primary concern at the moment is getting a Steeda shifter bushing and trans bushing so this stock shifter doesn't suck donkeyballs anymore. A Barton or Tri-Ax shifter aren't in the cards for probably at least a year and I CANNOT live with the stock shifter like this for that long, lol.
It's an open box so I'm guessing it will increase the noise but if you don't like it, you can always put the stock box back on. That's what I'd do anyways, just upgrade the drop in filter. The only issue would be, does Ford Performance still honor their warranty if you put the stock box back on? :lol:
Maybe a tiny bit louder. I had a mishimoto on before and it was way louder. I dont hear the blow off valve sound nearly as much now. It pretty sounds stock to me lol
I read that they won't honor the warranty. But on this site, it is hard to believe anything you read... so who knows for sure.
I meant that more as a joke. It would be Ford Performance that would need to honor the warranty and I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with the stock air box being in there.
