Ecoboost Tune

[Phelix]

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know what I was told last week:
I went and test drove an '11 GT500 with "700" hp as i was told. Thing was super fast, loud and awesome. I told my Ford guy though that it might be too much car for my first sports car. He told me he'd give me a call when the '15 Mustangs show up and make me drive both the Ecoboost and GT's. He loved the Ecoboost, having just came back from a training session with one. He said he was told that Ford will be releasing a warranty approved tune to give it "400 plus horsepower, don't ask about the torque".

TL;DR Ford Racing Tune for Ecoboost bringing it up to 400+ hp.

I'mmmmm thinking 400 is gomna be a stretch.

Even 400hp at the flywheel is going to be a bit of a stretch. I do believe FRPP will release a warranty approved tune, but it will then be an FRPP drivetrain warranty, and not the original Ford warranty

Salesman tell you that?

Sorry, sometimes you just gotta break out the Billy

400hp ? thats not happening without a bigger turbo.

I'm sceptical too. I think he was just telling me shit to try and get me to buy new Haha. I can see the time pumping about 400 torque. With a time on the 3.5 ecoboost it jumps it up a hundred torque.

Yeah, I agree on the tq. Even the freakin' 1.6L ecoboost in the Fiesta ST is a TORQUE MONSTER with a tune. Hp? Eh, it's there. But it's no monster.
