Took a look. Didn't see it.

Just got a shipping quote and a note that I'll be getting an ordering link within a couple of days. $494 shipped to my door.
That's a deal.

What are you getting for the $494 ?

 

[gotboost?]

I pre-paid Levittown a week ago. My question is after announcing July 30th, August 30th September 30th release dates, when is Ford Performance actually going to release for shipment and if so, can anyone provide 100% confirmable verification.

I tried Levvittown and they wanted to charge me $80 for shipping. I guess it depends on the area

That's the complete kit. Intake, tune, whatever else is supposed to be in it.
That is not installed, obviously.
The $10.00 shipping is included in that price.

Price aside, unless someone knows differently, Ford Performance is still saying next month, then next month, followed by next month..........

Hence why even though I was going to wait on the FP tune when I first started modding I ended up going with LMS...I followed the supposed releases all the way back to 2015 and realized it was next month and next month and next month...rinse and repeat again and again.

Maybe it's a stall tactic so the 2015's will all hit 36k before they release their tune...:doh:

Could be. Especially since the 2016 engine is revised and stronger after the failures they had on the 2015s.

See Levittown post in the vendors section.

I am interested though in how it stacks up to other OTS type tunes and it still is a good option I think for new cars or low mileage cars looking for a tune, if anything, or as an improved variation on an otherwise lightly modified car, it should still be a big improvement overall when combined with an inter cooler.

Just chatted with FPP

Here's a transcript of the live online "chat" I just had with an FPP rep, regarding the EB "Calibration." I added the "bold" to some of the type for emphasis. The rest is verbatim. His name is "Mike," as well:


Please wait. An operator will be with you shortly.

Mike says:
Hello Michael. My name is Mike. We have not released an updated date. We're a bit behind working on some calibration delivery issues.

Mike says:
I believe we should have something out in the next 2-3 weeks for download/shipping

Michael says:
So it's all still "up in the air?
Michael says:

sorry, typed that before your 2/3 week estimate

Mike says:
That's okay. Sorry for the news. We're as eager as you to get this out

Michael says:
Can I ask you another question about the same product?

Mike says:
Sure thing!

Michael says:
I already have a CARB-approved CAI on my car (Airaid), and don't like the one that comes with the kit. Will the dealer still install the calibration, if I purchase it?

Mike says:
Unfortunately they are going to sell the calibration with the cold air kit only

Michael says:
So the only way I can maintain 3 years of my power train warranty and have the calibration, is to have that CAI kit sold with it, on my car as well?

Mike says:
Right, I wouldn't expect you'd have any issues with your cold air as it is, but if you did that cold air kit you have wouldn't be applicable to your warranty anyway

Michael says:
Thank you for your time, Mike

Mike says:
You bet! Take care

Sounds less and less appealing unless you have a newer bone stock car...

Stall tactic? You mean they are purposely missing out on sales from competitors?

The car and this model will be out in the next 2 years minimum, and people who bought it this year or the next will still be under 10k.

Makes no sense to me why its delayed other than they are having mechanical or co2 issues with it.
