Question About Ford Racing Tune

stageron said:

Ok so here's my question. Does anyone know (perhaps based on the Focus ST tune) if the tune that Ford is going to offer is just a flash of the ECU that will up the HP and torque, or will they be selling a handheld tuner where I would have to do it myself and have a couple of tunes to choose from. I'm very new to this whole car modding thing and know very little about it but I'm very interested in the warranty friendly Ford tune. Don't really want to deal with a hand held tuner but if Ford is just gonna flash the ECU that sounds great to me. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It'll look something like that.

I suggest you go on ford racing performance part's website and read about the warranty since that's your main concern. It's not "warranty friendly" in the sense that you keep your warranty. You get a new 3/36 powertrain warranty so your regular 5/60 one is gone.

So it looks like it's something I have to do myself. 5/60 warranty on the powertrain is replaced by a 3/36 powertrain warranty. I assume the regular 3/36 warranty on the rest of the car is still intact? This works for me because the car in a 3 year lease.

Me neither my buddy is leasing a Ford focus st and he is modding it and he is freaking out because he has to go to the dealer for his oil changes and such.
