I searched and didn't see this posted. It seems Cobb has their 2.3 bronco and are digging it to the tune.

Great news! I’ve been running Cobb on 3 Subarus now since 2007. Great products

I can't believe all the folks that think tuning this already over worked engine is a good idea. Kiss your warranty good bye. People, read the Ranger/Focus RS forums if you want to see your future.
Why not just get the 2.7?

Wrong.
Neither Bronco engine is overworked. You have absolutely no evidence to support that claim. And frankly, you’re just talking out of your a**.
The only component that’s at risk of of being “overworked”, is the 10R60 transmission that comes in the Bronco. It’s only rated for 424lb-ft of torque. Which means since the stock 2.7 puts out 400lb-ft, you’ll have to limit the torque if you tune it.
The stock 2.3L on the other hand only puts out 330lb-ft of torque, so it has plenty of room to work with when tuning. The 2.3L also has a proven track record of responding incredibly well to tuning. I personally can’t wait to see what Cobb comes up with.

But adding 100lbs of unsprung weight on each corner with 37s and heavier wheels isn't over working them ?
I don't think you understand tuning

Great news
Two things that really gets me excited, I'm planning on slapping on those wheels too and I too, am getting the 2.3

if you tune any motor, you will probably have a Difficult time with an engine related warranty claim if something happens. There is definitely risk involved, however, many people believe the risk is worth it for the extra 50-100 Hp and torque gained from a tune.
I’ve had Cobb tuned Subarus since 2007 without ANY issues. My 11 STi made +100 WHP and +150 WTQ over stock on flex fuel set up... almost 90k miles before I sold it. There are plenty of of Subaru EJ motor failures as well, so yes there is risk, but well worth it for the additional enjoyment you get from driving a modded vehicle.
”Ecoboom” failures happen too but many more tuned Ecoboost Mustangs, RS out there without issues. Cobb has tuned Raptors and F150s as well as Porsches, GTRs, BMWs , VWs, etc, so I’m going to leave it up to them to find out if this 2.3 is overworked, and how much potential there is for safe gains. They will find the limits and develop the safest product for Bronco owners.

There's a reason Ford won't put the manual box in the Sasquatch. Because it can't handle it. Now you want to tune it? Great formula.
Look's like a lot of folks here have deep pockets so they don't care about their warranty. But I guess all the deep pockets can't afford the 2.7?
37” tires from 35” tires is certainly not an “added 100 pounds” maybe 10 each would be appropriate
