Bronco Ford Performance Power Packs on the way for more HP and Torque

[Laminar]

Dude, you can't make up a bunch of drivel and pretend it's valid...and then claim that "People still believe that"...apparently because you wrote a silly un-sourced paragraph. I'll source it directly FROM FORD...from the BRONCO BRAND MANAGER,

I guess you maybe don't understand what marketing is? Care to share a theory on how the GT350s aren't shredding their transmissions?

A spec is a spec dude...I'm sorry you don't understand that simple thing...go ahead and write another worthless page long diatribe that not one single person believes and offers zero insight.

Me waiting for your brilliant explanation:

What does that have to do with Bronco and Ford's own published spec on the transmission? I now realize I'm discussing big boy topics with a simpleton....

Everyone is using a graph for the 2.3L Ranger tune.
The 2.3L Ranger stock gives you 270 HP no matter what octane you use.

From the Ranger owner's manual:

For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions, for example when towing a trailer.

It may make 270 on 87 octane in ideal conditions, but as soon as intake temps start to creep up, you bet your ass the ECU is pulling power on 87.

I said what I said and I want what I want.

They did it. It’s in the bronco DR

Yes, and that's why I now want one in a street legal every day average consumer Bronco.

I thought the 2.7L was the Power Pack option for the 2.3L?

Dude, you can't make up a bunch of drivel and pretend it's valid...and then claim that "People still believe that"...apparently because you wrote a silly un-sourced paragraph. I'll source it directly FROM FORD...from the BRONCO BRAND MANAGER, Estaban Plaza-Jennings:

Plaza-Jennings offered a robust argument in favor of the 10R60, stating that the unit is rated at a max output of 406 pound-feet of torque when paired with the Ford 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 and 424 pound-feet of max torque when paired with the Ford 2.7L EcoBoost V6. Both maximum ratings beat out the torque figures of both Bronco powerplants, which are rated at 310 pound-feet and 400 pound-feet, respectively.

24 ft. lbs. of TQ isn't a lot of cushion for the 2.7L, especially considering that Panda Motorworks states their plug-n-play tuner adds a peak 83 ft. lbs. to the 2.7L. Interesting too that the Ford Performance pack for the 2.3L Bronco seems nerfed from the Ranger, I'm assuming due to the 10R60 vs the 10R80 transmissions.

Yea, I caught myself after the fact and updated my original post

I’ve got under 200 miles on my 2dr. 2.7 with 33” tire badlands and auto. It’s already got gobs of power. I’m taking it easy on the break in period.

This seems interesting. Has anyone used the Power Packs for the other vehicles?

Ford Bronco To Gain Horsepower, Torque Via Upcoming Power Packs

Now, sources familiar with the matter have told Ford Authority that the Ford Bronco will be getting two different Power Pack calibrations from Ford Performance as well.

Both of these calibrations will be available in 2022 – one for the Ford 2.3L EcoBoost I-4, and one for the 2.7L EcoBoost V6. The 2.7 Power Pack will launch first with the part number M9603-B27, followed by the 2.3 calibration later on, which will be listed in the Ford Performance catalog with the part number M9603-B23. No additional details are available for the 2.7 calibration as of this writing, but the 2.3 tune is expected to be similar to what is currently offered for the Ford Ranger, though the focus with the Bronco calibration is on torque – not peak horsepower – to aid in off-road conditions.

Sources tell Ford Authority that the Ford Bronco 2.3 Power Pack could net gains of around 25 horsepower and 30-40 pound-feet of torque for Ford’s I-4. The Ranger’s Power Pack provides an extra 45 horsepower and 60 pound-feet of torque from the same powerplant and optimizes the shift schedule for Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission, but also comes with a Ford Performance high-flow K&N air filter.

Ford’s existing performance calibrations are emissions legal in all 50 states, and also come with a warranty. If the calibration causes an issue on a vehicle within 3 years or 36,000 miles, Ford will fix the vehicle under warranty. If the performance calibration did not cause the issue, the base Ford warranty still applies. The kit needs to be installed by an A.S.E. certified shop or Ford dealer to qualify for this coverage, however.

The article kinda contradicts itself a bit. Saying Bronco's would be more focused on torque (which presumably would mean more torque than the Ranger's upgrade, but less hp), and then both "sources" figures are lower than Ranger's power pack.

Tire size wouldn't be compatible with Sasquatch?

That's for Ranger, so I wouldn't hold something like that as gospel.
