[QUOTE="mjchip, post: 119143, member: 3114"] Just something to keep in mind: Ford uses some of the very best tuners out there BUT they need to take into account many more variables than if they were doing it aftermarket vs. OEM. Just off the top of my head there are: 1. emissions 2. fuel economy 3. longevity 4. internal politics 5. performance ( and leaving overhead for the aftermarket tuners) 6. time-to-market The aftermarket tuners need to worry about numbers 3 and 5 at the very worst. The Ford tuners (some of which are consultants....hint, hint) were not "asleep at the wheel" when tuning this car. They had a tough job to do and I'm sure that they did the best they could given all of the constraints. My $0.02 FWIW. Mark [/QUOTE]
