Ford tune with other mods questions

[Antman450]

Same here……

Same for me.

So, I ordered the same CAI, the Ford tune, a Warner IC, and Boomba BOV do far. I am picking up my truck in two days. I had a Lariat that I got rear ended in and it is totaled now. Can't wait for the Raptor.

Going to put my 35x12.5 Falcon AT4s from my Lariat onto this truck. Pictures and updates to come once I get it all handled.

Do you have a link? Is it the one for the 22-24 Bronco Raptor? They still don't have a dedicated Ranger/Ranger Raptor selector.

I bought my UPR oil catch can from them and was happy with price and speed of delivery.

EDIT:
The aFe website has the following part numbers for their CAI:

My sincere apologies, my mistake...it was the OP, Antman.

On a side note, I'm not the only one who has recommended against the FP Tune with downpipes. Even the guy who is selling them recommended a custom tune.

I talk to him and he ment you won't be getting max gains.

I hope it works out for you...

I believe that it’s already been said, but I will reiterate, buy parts based on the specific needs / expectations of your vehicle. I have a 24 RR, and I wanted a little more performance, so I had the FP tune installed. The next limitation to be addressed was the stock intercooler. The factory unit is a small IC with plastic end caps, that is subject to heat soak with higher ambient temperatures, or hard driving. Since high IAT = less power, I swapped out the factory intercooler for the COBB unit. The next thing to address was airflow, so I purchased an AFE intake. There were several really nice aluminum models available before AFE released their intake, but then you’re dealing with the heat soak of your intake. I’m probably going to stop there, because any additional modifications that would add substantial HP would require a custom tune to maximize those benefits. This vehicle is my daily, so the first priority is reliability, and I know from experience that custom tunes are often more trouble than they’re worth.

I just got a Ranger Raptor and I want to get the Ford tune. My question relates to what happens when you add other parts that would theoretically add power with the Ford tune?

For example, adding an intercooler, down pipes, etc. adds more power and a tune is needed to get the highest gains. However, with the Ford tune, it is a canned tune. So, if you can't adjust the tune at all, what power gains could you really expect from the other bolt ons? Would they be worth it, or would you just be getting the same gains as if you just had a stock tune?

I am not too keen on buying another ECU (and it needs to be a new one to retain the exhaust mode functionality) for $$$$ with a tune from ZFG for example.

I have used many different tunes on many vehicles.

My 2007 GMC has cam and 2.4 liter supercharger. Unless I have a real-time O2 sensor and other electronic sensors I can't properly tune that set-up.

I installed the FordPro cal on my 2025 Ranger Raptor.

That engine and electronics have immensely more capacity maintain optimal airtime fuel ratios than older systems.

With the gages of the ProCal tune you can monitor air/fuel and graph it.

My opinion is the existing systems will easily adjust for other mods.

If you exceed the capacity of the stock injectors bu putting too much air in the engine that's where a lean condition can destroy the engine.

This mirrors what I've done, and where I will stop for the same reasons; just waiting for my aFe intake to ship

Do you see this as an issue with a CAI and downpipes only?

Dude, you need to seriously check your shit before replying. YES YOU NEED A NEW ECU.

Moreover, your answers are mostly bullshit on every single post I have ever seen from you. I don't understand why you are trying to be argumentative on a forum that is here for people to collaborate on. It seems counterproductive. No wonder everybody is blocking you, as I am setting you to ignore as well.

WOW Antman you sure are full of it...Mr. Know it all...if you are typical here, I'm not wasting my time reading what people think. I don't need or want you acting like you ar some fink Einstein.

What the hell are you talking about? I pointed out the truth is all. I did not act like I am a know it all. And who the F pissed in your soup, that comment had nothing to do with you. And learn how to spell, type, and use punctuation you simpleton.

? Did you combine this with the Ford tune?

No, I used them alone and I’m really impressed.
