You have to understand, ford could care less if you can tune your truck! They build it to stay stock, can't bash ford for this

Is there really an MPG difference going from the recommended 87 octane vs. 91 vs. 93 octane??? Is the amount you gain in MPG worth the added cost at the pump. This question applies to both the stock tune and the upcoming Livernois tune which I will want it proves financially beneficial. I think the current 3.5 Ecoboost has plenty of power for my needs. Only interested in improving mileage. Thanks.

on a stock tune, it will gain some economy, bt usually not enough to offset the increased cost per fill up. With our tuner, we have done the math time and time again and depending on how you drive it, you might ultimately save money vs. regular, or you might not. But the "might not" is usually like .50-$1.00 per fill up vs. stock and 87 octane. So well worth it for some serious power upgrades!

Does this seem to be the same engine as the 11-14s (besides sensor/fuel pump) or do they have some of the gen 2 components that the raptor will have?

It is annoying, isn't it? The issue is that is handled in a completely different computer, so it's not likely we will be able to do so. But that doesn't mean we won't try

It appears to only have those two changes so far.

The MAP should be an easy upgrade, and we will be testing that out soon! As for the fuel system, truthfully it won't be easy, nor cheap, but might be possible.
