Ford Bronco The Panda Power Module is HERE! Bronco Raptor 3.0L Tuning Solution by Panda Motorworks! PrintTest_To


We are excited to introduce our Panda Power Module tuning device for the Ford Bronco Raptor! This small, plug n play module packs a HUGE punch and is a performance upgrade that every Bronco Raptor owner should consider. Backed by our years of EcoBoost calibration knowledge and dyno-proven results, your Bronco Raptor will see gains up to 12% while maintaining OEM Reliability. This device is super simple and installs in minutes. To make operation even easier, a dedicated app allows map switching via Bluetooth.

We codeveloped this device with the user in mind, that’s why we retained all OEM failsafes to keep reliability in check! Another point of reliability we wanted to focus on was the transmission. For this reason, we made sure the increased power delivery was safe for all driving conditions. The best part about this device is the fact that it keeps your factory warranty in tact! If you need to take your Bronco Raptor to the dealership for any warranty claims, simply uninstall the device completely and no trace is left behind.

This device isn’t just for those who want their Bronco Raptor to be faster. If you added a heavier wheel and tire package or if you plan to take your Raptor off road, this device is for you! Let’s be real, tires are HEAVY! If you add larger tires, you may notice a bit of power loss. This is because the engine must work that much harder to turn the wheels. With the Panda Power Module, you will recoup that power loss and then some! Plus, who doesn’t want a little extra power and torque?!


To help keep this added horsepower and torque in check, we added a set of NGK 1 Step Colder Spark Plugs to each Panda Power Module kit! When increasing the boost pressure on any EcoBoost vehicle, the stock spark plugs will experience what’s called Spark Blowout. This is because the stock plugs are too hot and do not experience a complete burn. By going to a 1 step colder spark plug, you experience a more complete burn which results in consistent power delivery. This combined with the greater knock prevention that these plugs provide results in increased reliability.

Ford Raptor 3.0 EcoBoost
Stock: 392 HP 430 TQ
Optimized: 436 HP 488 TQ

I’ll go ahead and answer what we anticipate will be some of the most frequently asked questions:

What exactly is a Plug-n-play module and how does it work?

A plug-n-play module checks the OEM sensor data and configures the signal safely and reports back to the sensor. In turn, this is how we are increasing the power and torque of your Bronco Raptor! From the outside looking in it seems very simple, and it really is! We put a lot of time and effort into making sure the user experience is very simple and rewarding. This leads me to another question:


How exactly did you develop this device to make power safely?

We used our years of EcoBoost calibration knowledge to safely configure the signals in a way that won’t upset your Bronco Raptor! All changes were made within the limits of the factory ECU so that your Raptor will receive these reconfigured signals in a way that it can safely react to. This will prevent any damage to any drivetrain components and prevent your Raptor from entering Limp Mode or displaying a Check Engine Light. We utilized our OEM data-logging capabilities during R&D to ensure that the Bronco Raptor retained factory drivability. We made sure that Air/Fuel ratio remained within a safe limit, as well as timing advance to deliver an OEM+ driving experience! For more on our tuning, check out our Blog by clicking HERE!

I'm new to turbo tuned vehicles. I'm interested to hear feedback from the community on the need and or advantages of these plugs.

Also - @Panda your website only lists the 2.3 and 2.7 options for the plugs.

All engines use the same plugs.

Step colder plugs are a very good idea for tuned turbo engines. They dissipate heat quicker helping to avoid pre-ignition when you’re making more power/have higher cylinder temperatures.

Personally I wouldn’t use these iridium plus. The 95605 ruthenium plugs are better and last longer according to leading Ecoboost tuners, but that’s a personal preference I guess.

For the ruthenium plugs in a tuned engine and all the turbo/exhaust bolt ons, would the gap be the same for the other 1-step colder NGK plugs (.026)? I see up to 20 psi boost, with limit set to 25.

Yeah .026 should be fine for that amount of boost

We just happen to be one of the leading tuners and are on the other side of Ruthenium. We have had over 5 sets fail and break in 100 sets and only 2 in 500 sets 6510 so we stuck to the 6510 and still sell more 6510s and recommend them based on our experience and testing

oops they must not have made the 3.0 listing live when they were suppose to. I shot a message to the data team to do so :)

Didn't mean any disrespect towards you guys. I can see how it may have came off poorly.
Just my personal preference like I mentioned.

Oh for sure. Everyone has them! As a business we try to keep as much data forward for customers to make a decision on their purchase and wanted to share why we have stuck to the trusty 6510 in the long run.

@Caleb@PandaMotorworks, the plugs you mention are good for a Raptor with the Ford Performance Tune on 91, 93 and sometimes 95 octane? That's a fairly wide power range.

I bet lots of people did since there are so few replies. I don't check every day so i missed out as well.

I'd love to see some numbers on where the power/torque increase happens.

Shoot @Caleb@PandaMotorworks a message! I will have the dyno sheet up in the AM when I get back to my desk! Forgot to include that! Sorry guys. Rookie mistake I know
