Yes, it'll make a difference. Need? No one needs more than 100hp for an everyday car. Want? Definitely.Hi folks, I'm finally getting around to install the Ford Procal tune on my car, from what I'm reading here and elsewhere an intercooler is the next biggest upgrade I can make to a factory car. Will it matter for daily driving? The only other modification I have power wise (if you can call it that) is a catback.
A dealer less than a mile from my house refused to work on my car because it is "modified" (yes, their exact word). Honestly, I don't think anyone on earth would think my car is modified. Dealer less than 15 min from them worked on the car no issue.There’s no legit reason a dealer could deny warranty work for a bigger intercooler unless it's installed incorrectly or you had to make some other mods (like eliminating the shutters on the bigger intercooler, but even that shouldn't hurt anything). Denying warranty work because of an upgraded IC is like denying it due to a catback exhaust.

Unfortunately, there is a level of dumb at some dealership service areas... I don't assume anything is outside of stock cannot be connected to some issue.
I'm simply saying is for people to understand their local Ford dealer. Especially if they only have one or two close to them.
No FUD on my end... if I'd talked to my dealers before working on my car, I'd known where to take it beforehand. That is all I'm saying.
Ha I definitely hear you about the potholes here. I plan on getting coilovers very soon and I'm a little worried about how terrible our roads are right now.Suspension wise I intend to do the BMR lockout kit, already have the Ford Racing strut brace and cowl brace installed, then at some point I will revisit lowering (aka how many new potholes in Buffalo).
Intercooler wise, although I'm doubting I'll go through with it, stock location or go big with the grille shutter delete?
