The additional $325 buys you a warranty, but also gets you a 50 state-legal calibration. This means Ford has done a full emissions assessment (i.e. re-ran most of the emissions testing that the base truck went through) and worked with CARB to get legal emissions certification via CARB Executive Order. This is lengthy and (very) expensive.Earlier than they told me - great. Thanks for posting. Pricing is interesting. The ProCal itself is only $450 and the K/N is only about $50. So what do you get for the additional $325, certainly that isn’t the labor to install the air filter. Is that the cost of the dealer doing the “calibration”? The ProCal instruction sheet seems to indicate that one could have it is mountable in the truck and features active monitoring. Personally I would want to set it and forget it most likely. Another factor is that the warranty is “when installed by a Ford dealer or ASE/Red Seal certified technician”
You forgot to mention that the power is at sea level. For someone like myself here in the Rockies at 10,000 ft elevation wont see that much unfortunately.So it states a 45hp gain.
It is supposedly shown that the Ranger will actually make around 300 if you only run premium.
This tune requires premium.
So is the FPP tune good for 345hp or only 315hp?
If only 315, I'd say definitely not worth it.
We need to see a dyno.
Ford's software compensates for altitude, up to the hardware limit (typically turbo speed.) They will increase turbo speed to deliver the same MAP/torque that you'd get at sea level.You forgot to mention that the power is at sea level.

Interesting to know. Seeing that you are out there in Dearborn is it safe to assume that you work in the more technical department with Ford?Ford's software compensates for altitude, up to the hardware limit (typically turbo speed.)

Then why not buy the ProCal and filter separately, install filter yourself and take it to dealer to run the software?The additional $325 buys you a warranty, but also gets you a 50 state-legal calibration.

This is lengthy and (very) expensive.
In addition, this calibration has been fully vetted to Ford's standards (wind-tunnel testing, durability fatigue cycles, etc.)
Joe's dyno shop may give you better gains, but you won't get any of the above.
You aren't buying the calibration that way. You're just getting a filter and the flash tool, which will be blank. The dealer won't flash it for free, you need a registered code/calibration from Ford Performance.Then why not buy the ProCal and filter separately, install filter yourself and take it to dealer to run the software?
So i have a noob (girl) question, I have my 2019 xlt sport I bought 2 months ago and so far still breaking it in, I only have 800 miles on it as of today. Should I break it in more before a tune? Like wait till 1000 miles? Also I have a magnaflow catback exhaust system, will that help get a better tune? Are the tune numbers for stock rangers?The additional $325 buys you a warranty, but also gets you a 50 state-legal calibration.
