Anyone have an auto and frpp pro cal?
I'm getting the pro cal to be able to keep the warranty. I was wondering if any auto guys have tried it? I've read it doesn't change shift firmness but does it change shift points?

I have this. As far as I can tell the car has more power @ lower RPM than stock. And I believe this is how FRPP advertises it. I have heard they did not change the shift points but to me they do feel slightly firmer.

Ford Racing FR1 Power and FR3 Handling Packs are warranted for factory-supplied material or workmanship, when installed by an authorized Ford/Lincoln dealer, beginning upon dealer installation and registration of the part(s) with Ford Racing for the balance of 3 years or 36,000 miles / 60,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first, from the start date of the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Automatic transmission calibration is an area where Ford Racing sets itself apart from other "tuners." We generally make extensive calibration changes to not only improve shift quality and give the transmission a more performance-oriented feel, but take great care to ensure that durability is not compromised to levels we feel would be unacceptable to a customer. In development we monitor things like clutch slip times, slip energies, band temperatures and other variables to make calibration changes as appropriate so that the customer can be sure of a quality product that will continue to deliver improved performance in the long-term. As mentioned before, these changes are performed by the same engineers who designed and developed the vehicles in the first place, and who are more familiar than anyone with their performance and durability envelopes.
Many of our competitors develop their calibrations exclusively on a chassis dyno and go straight from there to the end customer. While dyno work is a critical part of the development process, it is only one piece of a very complex puzzle. Calibrating for wide open throttle (WOT) is generally simple, but the bulk of the calibration effort is getting the part (and closed) throttle drivability correct. Our calibrations are developed not only on the dyno, but also on the street for production (or better) quality drivability, and across many vehicles to allow for manufacturing tolerances. Varied driving conditions, constant data monitoring and long-term testing ensure consistent drivability and exceptional durability.
In recent years, cars and trucks have shifted toward electronic throttle control (ETC) or "drive-by-wire" systems for packaging, cost and enhanced calibration functions. Ford Racing calibrations for ETC vehicles take advantage of some of the increased functionality offered by these systems by changing the relationship between the pedal and the throttle for improved "performance feel." This allows us to provide substantial improvements in "performance feel" even on the kits where the peak horsepower increase might be considered modest by some. The peak power numbers do not always tell the whole story.
