$75,000 V8

I see a lot of people talking about tuning the 2.7 and I wonder how viable that option is going to be. It's getting difficult to get diesel tuners due the EPA going after companies selling tunes/tuners. I don't know why they wouldn't do the same for gas engines if the tuning affects the emission controls in any way and it's hard to imagine it won't. So yeah you could tune the 2.7 to compete with the Wrangler 392 but you'd have no warranty and may run afoul of emissions testing if you live in a state where it's required. Not to mention that the extra power you get out of the 2.7 is not likely to play nice with the transmission for long leading to more expenses. In the end if you want raw horsepower the Wrangler 392 is probably the best bet.

Not sure if any of yall saw this yet, but the 392 Wrangler is going to be 75k... YIKES. Yet another reason to stick with Bronco!

Looking forward to seeing the pissed off face of a 392 owner when a tuned 2.7 blows them out of the water!!

And drives by them while they are filling their tank every 200 miles.

Don't laugh too much though, because if Jeep sells a few of those, that'll just give Ford the idea they can raise their prices

But with a v8?

Are you aware of Ford Performance packs? Come with warranty, and take a look at F150 2.7L tunes, the transmissions are built to handle more power than the Bronco will generate.

Can’t wait to see the 10k market adjustment price....

Thanks that's interesting. Looked at the tunes for the Ranger, not a huge boost but not bad. I'm most familiar with diesel tuning and that's getting really hard to do unless its "race only". Even then they're cracking down on the tuners.
