for about $1000 any old 3.5L eco can make those numbers, *with* a supplemental warranty that kicks in if your dealer denies a claim because of the tune.

no, not voided warranty. the warranty stays perfectly intact. They might deny an individual claim because of the tune, but anything unrelated is still 100% covered. Any warranty company, Ford included, will "bail quick if given the right circumstances". That's what they do. It's a calculated risk. For my money, the $500 spent on the supplemental warranty is good insurance against the very slight chance I'll need to make a warranty claim that Ford will end up denying.

Be very interesting to hear if the plain-jane F150 version gets similar numbers, or a more moderate tune . . . .
Then you start wondering if you could reflash "up" to the raptor tune.

plain-jane 2nd gen 3.5L eco is going up to 375 hp / 470 tq for 2017. the raptor tune will probably not be available from Ford, but I would bet that the 2nd gen will be capable of 450/500+ before there are any real concerns with driveline or engine internals. i am pretty sure the raptor engine is just getting exhaust/intake/tune versus the regular one. everything else should be the same.
