Looks like we'll have a boosted option very early on

Just saw StangMode's latest YouTube video where his "sources" are telling him that Ford will allow preferred supercharger manufactors (i.e. Whipple, Roush, etc.) to have access to the locked PCM. Which means canned tunes from Ford's select manufactorers. The PCM will be essentially locked with the availabilty of over-the-air updates. So your local tuner will be SOL tuning the S650 until there is a workaround or the locked PCM is cracked.I presume they're going to tune it via piggy-back, since the PCM is locked?
Ehem Ferrari*AKA "Until our ECU is hacked you can only run the mods we approve."
Ford could be heading for very murky legal waters here. If they “approve” certain canned tunes, is that a tacit admission Ford *guarantees*, and therefore warranties them?AKA "Until our ECU is hacked you can only run the mods we approve."
Not if they aren't sold via Ford. No. If Ford sold/installed it then that confusion would exist.Ford could be heading for very murky legal waters here. If they “approve” certain canned tunes, is that a tacit admission Ford *guarantees*, and therefore warranties them?
I wonder what will happen the first time they push an over-the-air update and forget to exempt the supercharger versions...Just saw StangMode's latest YouTube video where his "sources" are telling him that Ford will allow preferred supercharger manufactors (i.e. Whipple, Roush, etc.) to have access to the locked PCM.

Here's where he states this starting at 2:31 in this video:
just give the hptunners community time... Dodge and GM said both our ECUs and TCMs are locked and then, comunnity tuned them like nothing...AKA "Until our ECU is hacked you can only run the mods we approve."
C8 and Z4/Supra ECUs are still locked...just give the hptunners community time... Dodge and GM said both our ECUs and TCMs are locked and then, comunnity tuned them like nothing...
I just wish there will be an "oficial tune" TT option for the gen 4 coyote as here, where I live at 8500+ feets over sea level... NA engines lost about 30% of their power so a random kid on a GOLF, BMW 235i, etc will destroy any mustang, camaro and vette naturally aspirated on straight line
