Where o where are the factory tunes and support? Why is it that Ford is, and has been, ahead in this game? I have been watching this unfold since the debut of the camaro in 2010, GM is ALWAYS BEHIND!!!!

No it is not.

On a side note, I don't see anything about maintaining powertrain warranty. But think I saw before the tunes were covered by a separate one. All this is just new parts bin packaging. The prices will be the big question compared to aftermarket options already out there.

Sorry, I disagree..Folks that want additional performance are THRILLED when the factory supports it

The tune voids the warranty. Even if you remove the tune, Ford can still find evidence of the tune and void the warranty.

Not disagreeing with that. I'm disagreeing with the idea that "factory mods" are making it sell better. Ford offered them last generation too. Didn't help then did it? The fact is modding is only done by a small percentage of the small percentage who get V8. Granted the mod market has always been stronger in the Ford camp (course they need them too lol).

Not these ones, they are backed by a "separate" warranty. Not sure if that really is a good thing in today's world of "Limited warranties".

Not 100% positive, but appears that non supercharger power packs installed by the dealer have a 36 month 36,000 mile warranty:

That is a lie, quit spreading misinformation. If you don't know, you don't know. But no need to spread lies.

Go buy the ford racing supercharger, have it installed by Ford dealership and tell me If your factory warranty covers it. Also keep your ford fanboy attitude to yourself.

Good for Ford, the 5.0 can sure use it. I had a 2013 5.0 so I know the car well. The problem with the most power pack yields the lowest torque.

Power Pack 3 only adds 5 lbs/ft
37hp and 5lbs/ft peak gains over stock

The tunes not enough to beat an SS but it will def. make it more competitive. Also, the real reason why the Camaro's aren't selling is that the dealers are selling loaded ones.. 2SS's for an average price of 46-47k.

The less 6th Gens, the more exclusive so I'm not complaining!

GM isn't behind its Ford that's behind. They have to add performance parts to their cars to keep up with the 6th Gen Camaro! Lol. I guess they can't do it right after it leaves the factory.
