New 6.4L Power options

I know SCT and other tuners haven't touched these trucks yet (atleast to my knowledge), but when could I expect some tunes coming from these new rigs? Also some exhaust. I understand the particulate filter has to stay on, but the nasty tail pipe just needs to get dumped.
I'm really considering one of these rigs and want to know how long before I'll be throwing some power onto this and also how soon I would expect an engine light to come on after it.

Thumbs down

I was told by the salesman at ford that these motors can be chipped. But, even if it's set back to "STOCK" the PCM will remember that it has had modifications and FORD will NOT honnor the warranty!!!

Now keep in mind a "SALESMAN told me this so who knows if its true!!


Just my 2 cents
