Oh good...it'd been a couple of weeks since we had a good knock-down-drag-out forum brawl about tuning. I wonder if anyone will get banned this time.

lol but before you do that go over to the EcoBoost forum and read their blown engine thread...all those guys with blown low mile motors seem to be running those crazy 5* tunes end up with rods blowing holes through the block and get no warranty coverage.
Valid question. Drove a Limited and a Platinum and felt they both needed a little more umph to suit me. Right before I test drove them, I tested a Durango SRT which is crazy quick and that probably didnt help my impression. Durango is just a bit small inside though. I have a 2012 Shelby GT500 as well with some fun bits added that dynoed at 683 rwhp...more power is sort of my thing I guess
The Platinum and non Platinum use the same engine, they will see the same results from the tune. The Expedition engine actually makes MORE TUNED HP than the Raptor engine does after its been tuned. I'm not exactly certain on all the details, but 5 star has shown the dyne graphs and it indeed does. The Raptor engine has higher compression and such, so I'm sure they can feed more air to the lower compression engine.....
The Platinum engine is no different than the "base" engine, just tuned a little hotter out of the box. If you're going to tune the piss out of it don't waste your money on the Platinum thinking you'll get more ponies out of it.
But wouldn't a tuned Navi/Raptor have power than a tuned Expedition?
