That makes perfect sense to me Mark.08 Shifter said:If I may offer a little insight here.Once upon a time I owned an 07' Shelby GT,Great car not unlike the Bullitt.CAI from the factory and a Ford racing tune.Performance is very close to the Bullitt so I feel that this info might be helpful.Off idle or tip in throttle response was wimpy,Not unlike the Bullitt.The tune that I ordered from Brenspeed was to specifically work with the factory CAI and stock parts.The tune really gave very little on the top of the rpm's as far as power increase(7-10)on a dyno,But the throttle response was INCREDIBLE.Now the only problem i saw with that was inexperienced drivers would have trouble with an OVERresponsive pedal.It made the car a lot more fun in the lower revs for sure!I wish I still had a graph with the difference.You would be amazed.I feel it was worth the money,But,if you don't know Ford can actually count the computer reflashes in the event of a warranty concern if they need to.I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that the tune ws definately an improvement,But I'm not so sure it was worth pitching the warranty out the window.I'm a mod it till your happy type of person,But if you value your warranty and like the dual octane strategy,You might want to think before you do it.I'm not trying to start a battle,Just making sure you folks are aware of the fact that flashing tunes back and forth can be seen by Ford,If they feel the need to look for it in the event of a catastrophic failure.BE CAUTIOUS.
That's why Brenspeed calls that one a full race tune i guess.08 Shifter said:If I may offer a little insight here.Once upon a time I owned an 07' Shelby GT,Great car not unlike the Bullitt.CAI from the factory and a Ford racing tune.Performance is very close to the Bullitt so I feel that this info might be helpful.Off idle or tip in throttle response was wimpy,Not unlike the Bullitt.The tune that I ordered from Brenspeed was to specifically work with the factory CAI and stock parts.The tune really gave very little on the top of the rpm's as far as power increase(7-10)on a dyno,But the throttle response was INCREDIBLE.Now the only problem i saw with that was inexperienced drivers would have trouble with an OVERresponsive pedal.It made the car a lot more fun in the lower revs for sure!I wish I still had a graph with the difference.You would be amazed.I feel it was worth the money,But,if you don't know Ford can actually count the computer reflashes in the event of a warranty concern if they need to.I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that the tune ws definately an improvement,But I'm not so sure it was worth pitching the warranty out the window.I'm a mod it till your happy type of person,But if you value your warranty and like the dual octane strategy,You might want to think before you do it.I'm not trying to start a battle,Just making sure you folks are aware of the fact that flashing tunes back and forth can be seen by Ford,If they feel the need to look for it in the event of a catastrophic failure.BE CAUTIOUS.
Well, he no longer has CATs, and no longer has the 'modified' H-pipe which is part of the Bullitt sound.Whammer said:Big Daddy,
Did your mods to the exhaust affect the "Bullitt" sound? I really enjoy the rumble and burping the exhaust system makes, and I wouldn't want to lose that and just have a louder exhaust sound.
I too like the sound that the Bullitt exhaust has… that straight pipe, glass pack sound of a 60s muscle car. I did not want to lose that 'Bullitt tone', but I also thought it would sound even better being a little louder.Whammer said:Big Daddy,

There is something called the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act and legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle.08 Shifter said:...I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that the tune ws definately an improvement,But I'm not so sure it was worth pitching the warranty out the window.I'm a mod it till your happy type of person,But if you value your warranty and like the dual octane strategy,You might want to think before you do it.I'm not trying to start a battle,Just making sure you folks are aware of the fact that flashing tunes back and forth can be seen by Ford,If they feel the need to look for it in the event of a catastrophic failure.BE CAUTIOUS.
