In the original article they said by EOY. It was probably fudged, but still a ways away.

Meaning this is the 85th thread about this and there is still no information.

I called frpp a few weeks back and the only thing they told me is there hoping for the first quarter of this year but could not say 100 percent.

Anyone have a FRPP tune on any other vehicles.

Nope, but it pinged really bad for some people on the 2011 5.0's when it released for those. I imagine they fixed it down the road but still sad. I remember reading that FRPP just contracts out to other companies for the tune anyway.

Get it if you want, but I wouldn't be the first.

Educate a novice/ noob non car guy until this one. What is pinged?

It caused predetonation. It means the mixture in the cylinder exploded before it was supposed to, its really bad for the engine and is one of the easiest ways to destroy a motor.

The big question is who got the contract for the tune. GForce builds the FRPP half shafts and they are one of the best in the business. Hopefully they cared that much about their EB tune and got some reputable company.

Had one on my Focus ST and it is hands down one of the best mods you can do on an ST. Added 90 ft/lbs of torque. Made it fun as heck. No issues at all. As soon as it becomes available for the ecoboost I will be getting it.

Also have a GT500 with an upgraded supercharger from FRPP with the procal tune and have had zero issues with it. FRPP is the way to go. They know more about Fords than anybody.

Ford racing engineers do the tuning. They do outsource the emissions testing though.
Good info about FRPP tunes.

I want to keep my warranty so I am waiting on the FRPP tuner. FRPP has already proven that they can get a lot out of a tune-Focus ST 90 hp improvement I believe. Even if some other tune adds a few more ponies, the peace of mind of warranty outweighs the possible extra horsepower for me.

I'll be keeping an eye on how this tune does (in comparison to the already excellent looking tunes being developed by 3rd parties) for sure. I'm not in a rush to do anything just yet, and if I can get more power along with a warranty, then all the better!
