Really a fraction of it since it's 3 years from purchase date of the _car_. If you purchased your 2018 early, you won't even have a year left.
True, but also I think there is some satisfaction/comfort knowing Ford engineers made this and not some guys in a shop tinkering till they get it right, or something like that. I do believe that Ford generally knows what they are doing, so I would trust this product more long-term.

Absolutely agree - that's why I bought it - consider it relatively safe - Bullit after all is using same engine with different throttle body / intake / tune that is not that much different than this one. I just think the warranty piece of it is little overrated.

The warranty is the only thing I can rationalize paying double for half the performance of a basic e / flex tune.

Not the route I would go nor the route I went just trying to make sense of the hysteria over the kit. :crazy:

Nope. "Preparing Procal4 for use" is not correct.

^^^ yep.. "Preparing Procal 4 Tool For Use" #2 says programmer will display serial number and firmware version..the Programer does not display this. The window in the laptop/PC does. So like me, some people thought it didnt download correctly since thebhandhel.prgrammer does not display anything.

Cobrakit,

Making me crazy man!!

Don't have mine 100% done yet, but will in the next day or 2. Can't wait, that 42 ft. pd. low end hit at 2K is what attracted me to this upgrade. An extra 20 at the top don't hurt none either.

I hear the "E" stuff all the time, we have no "E" anywhere in my region. So not an option.

Does this kit add no lift shift to the manuals like the 15-17 power packs did?

Good question..I was shocked by the amount of torque management is going on with this car even with the manual.

So see lots about this on net and in the forums lots of talk and lots of members saying they bought it. People saying they have installed it. But I am seeing next to nothing on reviews? To those who bought and installed how is it?

So I feel pretty stupid, but after some research and an email to Ford, it appears that 2018+ have NLS in the stock calibration. I've never tried it personally, and there are quite a few differing opinions out there on wether it works or not.

That is good to know. Considering that I have not tried it yet on my 2019.

Honestly I don’t feel a huge difference, but I don’t have a ton of miles on the car and already have a Borla cat-back. Maybe I never got a good feel of what it felt like stock. The shifting does seem more aggressive in Sport mode and my 0-60 time improved by 3/10’s so it’s definitely a little faster. Still playing around with that, trying to get a cleaner launch.

I haven’t got to drive it a ton yet so I will post more thoughts on it at some point.

I installed on my 19 gt a10. I have limited miles on it, but i can safely say that this woke up my car on the low to mid range. Been waiting for rain and cold to pass before i get on it. Again, if your a DD and not going to change anything else on the engine, this is definetly an option worth pursuing.

See dyno pull attached.
