Super Duty detuned ?
I was reading though information out on the net and ran across this this. Just how did they detune the 6.2L engine? It appears by detuning the engine it reduced its performance by about 26 HP. What would the purpose be for detuning an engine like this? Can it be reversed and at what cost?

Ford 6.2L V-8 Specs and Information
Ford's 6.2L V-8 went into production for the 2010 model year as a high performance option for the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. It was briefly marketed as the "Boss 6.2L", being launched as the latest variant in Ford's Boss engine family. The name is largely misleading and the "Boss" namesake was primarily used internally in the same manner that the latest generation 5.0L finished development with the "Coyote" designation. The 6.2L V-8 replaced the 6.8L Triton V-10 in the Ford Super Duty (F-250, F-350 models) for the 2011 model year. As is normal of trucks with heavier capabilities, the Super Duty version was slightly detuned. The engine was also introduced to the F-150 lineup for 2011, but was ultimately retired following the 2014 model year.
