Hey guys I have had my 06 for about a year now and ive done some mods... but im runnin out of ideas. I did a 75mm throttle body, a custom intake, 19" axis wheels and, and this month im workin on getting custom dual side exhaust. what are some new mods i could do that will increase my performance, but not sacrifice my warrantee... could I do a tuner and set it back to stock if i had a problem??? thanks for the help...

Yes, you can get a tuner... like you said just put the car back to stock for service...

Performancewise I would say an limited slip differntial and gears!

Not hating or anything, but if you're worried about performance my recamendation is to ditch the 19's.

If you flash the car back to stock, all they can tell is that the computer has been reset... A dead battery or a disconnected battery shows the same reset... so no, they can't void your warranty...

I posted this a while back... it's the 4.0 FAQ:

If you flash your car can the dealership tell? Yes, they can... No, they can't.... The debate has raged on long enough!!!

Here is the answer I got back from my sources inside of Ford engineering... I even had multiple sources confirm this... I'm sure someone is going to disagree with me... however I basically went to the horse's mouth on this one...

As it stands TODAY, all the dealership can tell is the last time the computer has been reset. Notice I said reset, not reflashed. Yes, reflashing does set this reset "date". But guess what... so does disconnecting the battery! LOL! So the dealership has no way of know what caused the reset... Simply tell them you left your lights on! LOL! Or in my case the bottle heaters! Ok, so maybe not the bottle heaters! LOL!

Now Ford does have a way to download the programming in the computer... if you did not reflash the car to stock then they will obviously see the differences and no you reflashed the car... however if you put the computer back to stock then all they will be able to tell is that the comptuer was reset... again... oops... i killed my battery... LOL!
