Has anybody towed with these tunes, at altitude? By that I mean over 5,000lbs and over 5,000ft in elevation.
In my experience a lot of these tuners are great for street and racing use however I use my truck to tow and where I'm at its not uncommon to find my self at high elevation where sometimes they can act funny. To be fair I've been running a 5* tune with great towing success except a 2500rpm bog/misfire which I cannot diagnose (I did re-gap and change plugs) and don't think is a 5* problem. Just with all the reviews would like to give these a try, I just don't want to borrow trouble.

About your miss: I had a miss with my previous tune, and with the SCT 87 tune while towing, but my Southern Speed tune is pretty smooth. Southern Speed has pretty well taken care of the Ecoboost quirks for me.

Well Gentlemen great news for us Ecoboost F150 owners. Another Southern Speed Inc. first. We have aligned ourselves with a company. That will be offering Turbo upgrades for our Ecoboost F150. These are not you ordinary turbos. We will be offering the FIRST and ONLY Ball Bearing turbo upgrades for the Ecoboost F150 in the country!!!! Made in the USA!!! Guys this is the only way to go no other company offers ball bearing turbos upgrades for our trucks period. You want the best we give you the best. In one week we will tell you more until then start saving up. We will be testing these exclusively at the companies facility. We will be offering 3 stages of turbo upgrades. We will be posting dyno sheets Stock run, Stage 1 run, Stage 2 run and Stage 3 run on the turbos. I does not get better than this. And Southern Speed Inc. will be the only tunes sold with these kits. Stay tuned. Thank you.
I understand your excitement but thats a bold claim when FR has had a ball bearing turbo on there truck for almost a year and has had twin ball bearing turbos on and off the truck many times
In the end we all win and things are just about to get interesting

Fyi your statement about the first and only ball bearing turbos is not accurate information. Full Race uses only efr turbos they are also ceramic ball bering and will be out about the same time. You will be testing them? Full race has been doing that for some time. Just don't get ahead of yourself boosted you tend to do that quite often I understand your excitement but thats a bold claim when FR has had a ball bearing turbo on there truck for almost a year and has had twin ball bearing turbos on and off the truck many times In the end we all win and things are just about to get interesting

Call it what you want but "First and only" is false

I remember following the Full Race single turbo news before I even had my truck. The development stage has been...lengthy, to say the least. Don't get me wrong, FR has a terrific track record in the forced induction arena, but I gotta figure with Shawn's inexhaustible drive and talent, the SSI system will beat more *** than an old English nanny.
