Good question. I bet it COULD add to that effect but realistically what you are looking for is more exhaust related.

For example, I have a MBRP street and its like a bowl of rice crispies.

Just paid for mine. Better be good... because that was the money I was going to spend on presents for my parents for the holidays :doh:
Take them for a ride in your PP2'ed car. Gave your ride some more power and got them a present in one expenditure.

Will I be able to install LT headers with this? Or will I run into an issue throwing codes?
I think you need an aftermarket tune specifically for LT Headers (edit: for the headers and anything else you might have on there). The tune from the Power-packs is specific to the parts it's installed with.

Okay so I thought I read somewhere on the forum that LT's can for the most part be run safely on a normal 91 tune. If that is correct, why would it not be possible to run them on the PP3 tune? Or is it because the PP3 is tuned in such a way that it can't handle the additional air/fuel, not enough/too little timing etc? I personally would get a specific tune...but can someone educate me?

2016 GT Premium Package
The tune is designed for what exactly ford is putting into the package. No more, no less. You start adding things to it, it may more than likely throw it off. If you are putting LT on, go with a different tune that has free updates to include items you put on your car. It makes no sense to get this set up, then start adding more to it without being able to adjust the tune to take advantage or properly dial in on additional add ons.

Not to mention, if you're adding LT Headers, then there's likely no reason to go with the Power-Pack tunes as you're shtupping your warranty and might as well add on whatever you want and then have Lund/Beef/Livernois etc. make you a tune specific to what you have on there.

Ordered mine Aug. 31 and no email yet. No big deal, getting cold in the northeast.

Strange I called my dealer I bought the car from for an install quote and he said $260 which seemed reasonable but when I mentioned the procal tune download they backed off and said I would need to go to another dealer 45 min up the road?

Is ot because they dont have a ford racing tech?

Update: called the other dealer and got a quote for $462. Said the tune was a flat hour rate of $132.

Why is everyone calling the stealerships for install? Or did they change the warranty so it can no longer be ANY ASE certified installer?

My local dealership said about 1.5 hours at $136 per hour for the install.
