Strippers love pilots too! Trust me!

Like @EMY92 mentioned, that is not the case universally. A bunch of orders were placed by dealers as stock, mine included and like him I didn't get the order under my name until after the fact.

Yes, the listing of the engine didn't change with the Auto Start-Stop delete. That looks to be a canned link to the engine description.

Any indication Ford performance will do a GEN 3 tune? Not one currently for the GEN 2, correct?

As shi-tty as it is, it makes sense Ford would schedule stock before retail orders. Retail orders are already in the books. Stock orders are yet to be sold, so they want them on dealers lots so they too can be sold as fast as possible. Inventory = cost. It's all about the $$$.

I was looking at the vehicle order tracking page on my truck and just realized under accessories "Auto Start-Stop Removal" was listed. The truck was a stock order, so the dealer must have spec it with the option! Blessings upon blessings!

Another consideration is if you plan on tuning the engine most seem to eliminate start/stop as a feature of the tune.

Thanks brother!

Just checked with FP, went from unscheduled to a build week of 9/20 (updated on 7/29) and apparently the VIN has been issued. Checking with the dealer now. Woo hoo! 6/15 stock order, DORA processed 6/22, Leadfoot, 800A, Torsen, Tow, Convenience, Forged wheels

So, what indicates the order was accepted? "Scheduled clean" designation or something else?

Yeah, I went that route with the Cayman. I was confident in the APR tune as it seemed to utilize more of the ECU engine safety functions than the stock tune. Glad to hear warranty claim denials for drive train issues on just a tune are not prevalent and there is a good hardy set-up on the...

Thank you and will do!

Thanks, I'll check them out!

Awesome, thanks for the advice and info! You had me absurdly quick, but I do appreciate the other advantages a tune will offer. I'll probably drive it stock for awhile, at least long enough for the new car excitement to die down, and then drop the tune in. I've perused a few tunes/tuners -...

Congrats on the Bimmer! The MLites are seriously under appreciated for what you get. That is also high praise for the Raptor as BMW does motors and general GT driving characteristics pretty well. I think the likelihood of me tuning the Raptor is pretty good! The payoff in performance for a...

Thank you Sir! The Cayman has really spoiled me and I'm really looking forward to the change of pace with the Raptor!

With the 240i they went to the B58 which is an I-6 with a single twin-scroll turbo. With just a piggy-back tune and an intake its putting out 365whp/400tq. It's about 3,500 lbs, not quite as small as the one series, but it goes! I really have learned to be judicious with the throttle in this car!

Yeah, I'm only capable of basic stuff and fortunately haven't had issues. I'm on the north side of Johns Creek, almost in Forsyth County. How about you?

Thank you! Yes, I've really enjoyed both cars! The 240i has been a great daily and I'm sure I will miss her!

I daily a 2017 BMW M240i. Dinan Elite piggyback tune, springs & midpipe, Wavetrac LSD with 3.08 final drive, BC Forged KL-12 wheels, PPF on front clip and other bits and a few other minor mods. I'll be selling/trading this car when picking up the Raptor on order. My weekend fun car is a 2017...

It's on the exterior options tab after "skid plates (4x4)".

Thanks for posting. The forged wheels also look good.

It does not change engine torque, but is pure mechanical advantage and does change wheel torque and is directly equivalent to the percent change in gear ratio for every gear, but will result in a lower top end in each gear.

Copy. I suppose for a high speed desert runner maintaining the top end speed may be more important to them than the 10% torque gain they'd also see with the shorter set.
