Custom tunes
I think these are all unanswered questions. And it isn't that I don't think old laws are applicable, I just don't think it is safe to assume they are until a court somewhere decides it or a new law is passed ensuring it. Tuners are sticking their necks out when they make the claim that they do not void warranties. And frankly, I don't think it would hold up in court.
Custom tunes are certainly capable of exceeding design margins and in the worst cases can definitely blow a motor. It is also not a fight that the tuner manufacturers want since their tunes are probably not street legal.
I always find it amusing. Most everybody admits if you add a blower to a motor for more power and it grenades, it isn't the manufacturers problem (though some may still try to hide it). But some are OK with adding more power through software and feel justified in hiding it if it blows.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a tuner question hopefuly someone can answer it for me. I recently got a hold of a livernois tuner, my borther had it on his 2011 f150 ecoboost and said it worked great. He put his truck back to stock before selling her and gave me the tuner. My question is can I install this on my 2013 f150 ecoboost? Will it be plug and play? On the back of the tuner it says for 2011-13 f150 ecoboost.
