PARDON? I'M SIGHT IMPAIRED SORRY IF YOU ARE A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON POOR BABY
If YOU need bigger text than maybe make things bigger on YOUR screen. Zoom in a bit perhaps... Writing everything in all caps makes it harder to follow and significantly more unpleasant to read. Not easier. And, zooming out on our end does not change the all caps issue. If you insist on writing in all caps, or in some other obnoxious format, that's just fine. However, don't expect many readers and expect those that do read it will say something about it.

As for your posts, the numbers advertised by Ford for the FPP are crank numbers based on testing everages and do not correlate to what your actual truck will put out after the tune. Also, the numbers you get at your rear wheels on a dyno, if you ever get one, will be much lower than those crank HP numbers advertised by Ford. The HP/TQ numbers you see most folks on this forum talk about or on dyno pics, are rear wheel numbers as measured on their specific truck on a calibrated dyno. Many things can negatively or positively impact power output from the engine. Things like altitude (turbo has to work harder) weather (temperature can have a fairly big impact on turbo performance) fuel quality, and anti knock performance of your fuel. That's just a few factors. I can say with high confidence that virtually every custom performamce tune (from the experienced successful tuners like Livernois and Unleashed) out there will put down more power and torque to the road than any of the canned tunes, including the Ford PP tune in your truck.

Could this become anymore of a cliche example of "ok Boomer" ?

Let's wait and find out.

Or we could all have just an ounce of compassion and patience?

Shit could happen to any of us. Minor inconvenience for us is likely a daily struggle for him.

I know internet forums aren't known for tolerance, but teasing a disability seems pretty shitty.

I chuckle inside when some young punk calls me a boomer.

You know why?

Because I know my pre-internet, pre-cellphone, real music, real instruments, nature loving, asphalt basketball, horse riding, Future Farmers of America, cruising, bellbottoms, muscle cars, Saturday morning cartoons, cookouts and jamming Boston on my 8-track tape in my jacked up Nova with Cragar mags… was 100% a million times better than your brain-dead, sterile, boring AF, whiny iPhone childhood.

Hey John, good to see you popping in once in a while. Jacked up Nova? Very nice. I sure hope you haven’t stopped jamming Boston! :D
