Let me pour some cold water on this thread.
Ford is highly unlikely to release a tune for the 2.3 that has it stepping all over the toes of its 2.7. They are fine with it for the Ranger because there is no engine upgrade path for the consumer.
They are also unlikely to release any factory tune for the 2.7. We already know the trans is about maxed at standard torque output as is. If they do release one, it will probably deliver a bit of additional power but artificially limit torque output. Hint: the disappointing test times and criticism of the Bronco feeling ‘soft’ off the line are because the factory tune is limiting torque in the low gears.
As to whether or not the dealer will ‘beat you up’ over the tune, do you mean in pricing or in warranty coverage? Not sure what you are asking here.
