Just bought Fords 3.0 Ecoboost tune kit for my Raptor. Supposed to get 35 more hp and 50 pounds of torque. A Ford product and covered in warranty by Ford.
Has anyone had this installed? And any thoughts on if they were impressed or did I just waste 700 bucks? Let me know. Thanks

You might want to try the forum for 2021 broncos on this site, this is for the 66-77. But a lot of guys have both

It is… just slow sometimes. You’re in the correct space, just be patient someone should respond. There’s not a lot of raptors, and even fewer with the tune.

Go to the Bronco 6G forum. There is a section devoted to just the Bronco Raptors. The site is not nearly as friendly as this one but there can be good info found there.

The Ford Procal for the Raptor 3.0L has a nice increase in power, but it's the shift points that are much better. Sport mode is the most fun!

I have a 24 Bronco Raptor and installed the Ford Performance ProCal tuner a couple weeks ago. I went to a dealer to have it installed and the key had been previously used. It took me a couple of days and emails with Ford Performance to get a new key. The service tech at the dealership told me to just install it my self and that it was designed to be easy. I have changed chips in the 80's and have a SCT Scan 4 tuner for my Ford F250 diesel. The Ford ProCal tuner is a horrible interface. The app you download on a laptop is also so cheep I thought I was not working with a Ford app.
I think I can feel an improvement. It is so new I have not been flogging it enough to tell a difference now that I am flogging it with a tune installed. It was fun doing a rolling start at 5 MPH with traction control off and in Raptor mode with Baja Exhaust. I chirped the rear 37' tires going to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th before I had to watch my speed.
The only other performance improvement I did was adding a K&N airlifter.

I also made 4 or 5 Forescan changes to the Raptor:
Removed the seatbelt warning
Enabled changing connected cell phone when in motion. It also lets me type in an address while driving. This disables Alexa but I did not want Amazon always recording me.
Set my door lock remote key fob so that I can roll all the windows up with the remote
Set the parking lights to come on all the time as a driving light setting. This way the 3 grill lights are always on with the other headlight amber lights during the day.

Next I am working on disabling the auto engine shut off. You cant do it in Forescan. I may need an aftermarket module from Amazon.

Update. Had mine installed by dealer on the 15th. And yes it makes a difference. Especially in sport mode. Has a good bit more pep in it and exhaust sound better. Fuel mileage also increased by about 1.5 to 2 mpg. So I consider it a win.
