Here's another tidbit that I hadn't seen before:
•
TracKey is a huge advantage over aftermarket tuning chips and
PCM reprogramming
This is something I've wondered a lot about. Will this car need an after-market tune to get the most out of it, or did Ford tune it so well with TracKey that there's not enough gain to be worth messing with?

You know one other thing that's odd though. Ford sells CAI kits with a ProCal tuner and they sell CAIs with their blower kits. I wonder why they haven't offered a CAI with the TracKey tune? Or maybe they will
It's about time to let the cat out of the bag on TracKey Ford!

That means it is a way better tune than stock and being Ford made it shouldn't hurt the car to use it.

That's not true. If you read all their literature, it's emissions compliant, just like all of their tunes. I've had a few FRPP tunes and they even issue a CARB certificate with them.

Is not the stock engine's intake system considered a closed cold air intake?

There must be a good reason why FRPP doesn't push the edge of the envelope and left some power on the table - cause they know their pistons/rods and don't want to risk any lean condition or detonation, right?
Owner's variables play a role too with different altitude, temps, barometric pressure, fuel quality, etc. To put a tune out on the edge and have any of these variables push it over into engine damage leans me more toward FRPP. I bought my car to keep a long time. Not to turn and burn. Or should I say burn and turn.

I remember that. That's why I was interested in that other thread that Chris Rose posted where he compared and data logged different tunes.
