Default Performance Adjustments

I know modern on-board CPU's are pretty hard to mess with other than maybe a performance chip. However, I'm in a group with a bunch of computer nerds who find it challenging to re-write code and crack/hack software. It seems to me that I could plug my laptop into my F150's CPU adapter and run a certain software that will display all the factory settings. Then, I can re-program the factory settings to work for what I want to do. Example, increase the ignition timing curve or adjust EGR settings....etc. Anything out there that will do something like what I just described or we just handcuffed to the factory settings?

Thx,
Glenn

Ignition timing curve, shift points, RPM's, etc. can all be changed with a tuner. I'd look into that before you start 'hacking' into your PCM. Tuners can save the factory default settings in case you change something you shouldn't have.
