Hopefully for those that go 2.3l, it will be in the Ford Performance catalog day 1. It seems to get harder and harder to justify the 2.3 unless you have to have the manual. Assuming the Ford tune is $800 (probably more) and the catch can is $200 (probably more) you are only about $600 less than the 2.7 and you give up 50 lb. ft. of additional torque. If you go higher hp tune, it requires higher octane fuel and your cost savings completely disappears. The 2.7 also has a much higher potential for tuning in the future as well. I am still curious about how the handling and off road performance varies with the lighter weight and better packaging of the 2.3. We won’t get those answers prior to oredering ??If Ford adds it to the B&P and warranties it, I'll put one on no problem. If not, it won't see one. The 6.4 in my avatar will never see a catch can.
