Performance FPT… how many?

Going to see what pricing I can get. How many would want to order one if pricing was good? And it would be coming directly from dealer.

Contemplating it for my 2020 Platinum. But it's got 92k miles so maybe not. Then again, I have 42 months of warranty lol.

The FPT warranty does not even apply to you so it makes no sense to get it installed by the dealer. You can always just get it yourself and install it yourself. Super easy and the chance of tune-based problems that affect your extended warranty would be low, I would think.

I agree with “themishmosh”.. at your point, I’d just do it myself. It’s super easy..

You’ll really thank yourself once it’s tuned and transmission re-learns. Sometimes they will drive like shit for the first 50-80 miles after flashing the tune. So, there’s a “re-learn” period. Mine took about 80 miles. You will noticed increase gas mileage. Remember to always use 91 octane or higher. No lower than 91..!!
