3.0L EcoBoost Performance Calibration

There is a separate Ford Performance parts 3.0L EcoBoost Performance Calibration for the Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor. Both cost $825 for the parts. They can be purchased online (Bronco Raptor Calibration, Ranger Raptor Calibration) or at your local Ford dealer.
