Says 2-4 weeks for delivery, but I got mine in 5 days. I got the blue one, so that may be why so quick.
I ordered mine Monday and it shipped yesterday.

One thing I am hoping for is this doesn't hang down much lower than the rest of the car, I clear most speed bumps fine right now. I will find out as soon as I drive it on my road since there is a few to get to my house.

As much as I agree with you, give them a chance. It's only July. They are slow as molasses, but I would at least give them until the end of the year until I get out the pitchforks.

Ford Performance parts are usually warrantied the same as the car if installed by a Ford dealer. I'd imagine any cooler they would produce is the same way.

It's a crap situation and you'd be well within your rights to abandon the brand with a bad taste in your mouth. But you really haven't given them much time (in gigantic company terms) to ship anything especially since it's only been a 2-3 months since they started saying they might produce something at all.
I'm looking for my pitchfork, just in case....

if you wanted more reason, you could also think about that Sync 3 update too.

But has anyone actually seen heat destroy a manual that had proper fluid level and viscosity? Because i have put a tr3550 through some pretty grueling track time with 637 hp 680tq in my old 95 gt. Never a heat problem with it.
Viscosity changes dramatically at temp for the OEM fluid, I had the tech data sheet a while back but it was a significantly lower viscosity at 250-280 degrees versus 180. When you hit limp mode your fluid is nowhere near the viscocity a track / R will be for its lifespan.

Hope the guy that engineered it wasn't the guy making the box labels. ;)

I see included in the box are nuts and bolts. Do you have to drill holes for them or do they match up with existing bolts? On the introduction paragraph the last words are "maintain performance". This would be great if they are suggesting this unit will stop limp mode.

Did you hear from Ford Performance directly? I sent the info in weeks ago but haven't heard anything.

I wouldn't mind one of these on my 2017 in aluminum and blacked out. That blue paint reminds me of a cheaply painted bed set frame.
