I don't have the link but you can go to Fordracing.com. What I am getting is part of the FP1 kit, which is the cold air intake and tuner*, that kit also comes with up graded exhausts and an oil filter (?). I am opting out on that exhaust and going with another set I believe is made by Borla, but don't quote me on that, just info i've picked up on the threads. It is also listed as FRPP.

*As for the 07's and the tuners, What I am getting from my dealer is that Ford has changed the chip and is not giving out the codes, even to themselves

, Dealer said it may be a few weeks for that mod but it is in the works. He has been in contact with Ford Racing on this matter. Will keep you informed when I find something out.

Up graded exhaust over stock for more HP, yes depending on type of exhaust and how your car is set up, everything I've read says between 2 and 12 HP. Less back pressure and more flow = more HP. I'am doing it for the sound, but will take the extra HP to boot.

I didn't get the exhaust system, cause no one at the dealer could tell me if it increases HP at all. Anyone know, or am I better with aftermarket exhaust?

Any other easy HP increasing tricks for these cars? Am only familiar with the older Ford stuff. FE's, etc.

That is interesting....I wonder if it's just programming changes to the ECU (probably) or something more major? Wonder if KC could shed some light on this or Doug at BamaChips - since he's probably alrerady been asked to put together a tune for an '07

Update: well Kevin is not a FRPP dealer and has no info. My dealer also has not found out anything yet.

Took possession of my GT/CT today. The dealer still doesn't have the chip for the tuner. Hopes to have it by Friday. Also waiting on some custom striping I wanted done.

Hotlap, what you describe is very similar to what the dealer tried explaining today.
