Any real life experience with this?
Can it increase towing
Increase quickness?
Increase MPG?
Likes/dislikes?

Here's some eye candy for helping

I tried one. I found the tunes rough, produced pinging and had harsh transmission shifts. Admittedly that was on my 2011 Eco and I used this tuner in 2012 and sold it in 2013. So they may have updated the tunes since...

Superchips sounds like a canned tune. A custom tune would probably be a little more beneficial.

I have a livewire TS tuned from 5star. Is there anyway I can change the throttle response on my ecoboost when going from a stop when just trying to slowly accelerate? I'm noticing if i slightly give it gas my truck almost goes nowhere until i give it more and more and it eventually kicks in and almost squeels the wheels and goes. Would I have to have this re-tuned to fix or is there a setting I can adjust? I don't recall it doing this before the tune and the couple of times it has happened my wife questions the fact that I even know how to drive LOL. Anybody else notice anything similar?

Have you happened to try to do the throttle adjustment procedure?

Turn key to on position (do not start)
After the 4 dings slowly push petal to floor, once it's all the way down quickly let it back up, turn key off

Repeat above ^^ three times total

no, first I have heard of it. Will try it after work today. Is this a Ford factory setting or something to do with the tuner? Thanks a bunch!

Ya Ford, nothing to do with tuner, before I tuned my truck I would do it once a month
