How long have other members been waiting for their Ford Performance Tune?

Ordered mine on 5/17/2020. I am ok with the wait. Preserving my warranty and knowing the tune is approved by Ford were significant factors in my purchase decision.
I am not planning on installing it until I have 3,000 miles on the odometer anyway. That should occur about the middle of July.

I ordered mine towards the end of April, and was told it was backordered and would be available first week of June. When I followed up last week, I was told it would not be until July, so I cancelled my order and now have a Livernois tune on the way.

Well they charged my pay pal account and the order was upgraded from new to in process and as a rule they usually do not charge your credit card until they're ready to ship. We shall see I will keep everyone posted.

they charged my PayPal 12 May and it still says in process......

Lol. They charged mine. I called 2 weeks later to see when I could expect it. Seems like the date just kept moving out ...

Does anybody know why Ford has such a small tire size limitation? Seems like there wouldn't be an issue with a tune on this front. The literature says max 265, I have 285s so is that a deal breaker with Ford? I realize this may have been discussed, I made it through page 12 of 29, lol and ran out of time. Thank you in advance.

33" was no problem according to this post.

Has anyone read the full warranty requirements? I just saw this article by Four Wheeler that states you can't run a tire larger than 265/70R17 in order to stay in warranty compliance.

I'm with RangerPride. Double the cost of other tuner boxes and locked to premium fuel only? Seems a real expensive long term commitment. And begging for additional performance expenditure$.

Been using 93 Octane from the start, not a problem for me, other than the Roush which also has it, the warranty is worth the added cost....IMO.

It was mentioned earlier in this thread by tivct that you don't have to use 91 or 93 octane. You can still use 87 or 89 you just won't get the full benefits of the tune.

Zero reason to spend twice as much on a tune that isn't available yet then. Like I said, I got an optimized tune for mid grade. I CAN use higher Octane if I want with no damage. I suspect (in my case) the Unleashed tune will be superior. The SCT warning is that lower-than specified octane 'might' damage the engine. I'd suspect the Ford tune would have some compromise to accommodate the range of fuel.

I only see one person saying you can use lower. The original cut-and-paste from Ford said Premium Only.
