Ford Racing V6 Cold Air Intake
I just ordered a FR cold air intake kit off summit racing. Im having someone install it once it gets here along with the FR dual exhaust. Is there anything i need to let the people know that are gonna install it with the calibration tool on what to do with the programing process? Also does anyone know how long it takes to get the procal tool? If anyone knows let me know. Thanks.

Its all set -up for plug n play with the ford calibrator.
Its basically a "plug it in and it checks to see if the
tune matches the tune inside it and if not overwrites
the cars tune with its ford custom tune and the light
changes color to indicate it did it." type of install thing....
They are sometimes really slow getting the 'calibrator" out to you.
They need to know your 4 digit code on your PCM to get
you the correct "calibrator"...

I think it's unfortunate that you didn't research new tunes on this forum before your purchase (or maybe you did). The FRPP tune WILL improve your performance somewhat but not as much as tunes from the likes of Bama and Brenspeed. I hope you didn't buy the FR package simply due to the "warranty" bullcrap.
Regardless, good luck with the buy and "so-simple-of-an-install-that-doesn't-require-a-third-party-to-do-that-even-a-caveman-could-do-it".

once i talked to the pro-cal folks it was either overight or second day air. they were quick for me. in my kit there was a work sheet to check if there were any other values to be changed, like gear ratios or tire sizes. if i ever changed either they'll reprogram my unit. i'd rather do it but at least it can be done.

Looks like a nice setup. I'm thinking of getting one myself now that you can buy it($215.00 at CJs)without the procal unit. I'll have to give Justine at VMP a call and see if he can make me a tune for it. I like the way it seals to the hood and seems to block out the engine heat better. Good luck with it!
