I was wondering for those of you that did the ford performance EcoBoost calibration kit, how many miles did you have to drive to notice the calibration to kick in?
Thanks

IMO, it should have been immediate, within 5 miles. I remember back in the day putting a chip in my BMWs and I could tell the difference immediately. The ecoboost tune should have given you enough of a boost that your butt dyno would know it. The trouble with a lot of horsepower add ons like CAI and exhaust is they only yield 5 or 10ish HP and most people can't feel that. I don't know what the claim is for your ecoboost but I assume is that since it a turbo that the claim would be significant like 40+hp and torque. Torque is what you are going to feel.

Calibration features:

• Peak gains of 25 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 70 lb-ft at 2200 rpm
• 40 horsepower and 60 lb-ft average gain from 2500-5000 rpm
• 75 horsepower and 64 lb-ft average gain from 5500-6800 rpm
• 100 horsepower maximum gain at 6000 rpm
• Horsepower and torque gains throughout the powerband
• Exclusive Ford Performance warranty when dealer installed
• Ford Performance calibrations are 50 state legal with CARB EO (D-598-18)
• Allows gear ratio changes up to 4.09:1
• Automatic calibrations feature optimized performance shift schedule
• Powertrain calibrations are developed and supported for U.S. and Canadian vehicles
• Horsepower and torque gains will not be optimized until fuel octane is learned

Does not specify a time period but until you cycle out all the lower octane fuel, it will
kick in once you're on 93 octane, for max performance, continually.

Did this ever get resolved?

I'll bite. What the heck are y'all talkin' about?

Never mind - found it. The stock CAI is more than sufficient, I added an aFe hi-flow filter and I have an AccessPort V3
