As far as aftermarket tunes go, most f-150 guys elect to keep the whipple tune because its powerful, safe, and emissions legal 50 state (if that matters to you). My supercharged 5.0 passes inspection no problem, whereas my tune-only 2011 eb had to be returned to stock to pass. Anyway, most mustang guys seem to stick with the whipple tune unless they convert to e85 or go crazy with the build. The only tune comparison I could fine was the one below, that shows a mild gain with an aftermarket tune. It's not worth the added risk to me.

Any in the cab heat compromises in the winter?
Got any good heat exchanger mods?

1. The kit comes with a thermostat. I don't know what it is but I assumed 160.
2. What is winter?
3. For the heat exchanger, I recommend getting an ecoboost lower grill and also do the fan upgrade from whipple. My iat's are maybe 10 deg over ambient and the water stays close to ambient temp.

I had an Mp112 on my Avalanche for 75k miles becore I got rid of it for my eco. Loved it, and never touched it after install. If I was doing the same for a 5.0 it would be a Whipple. You can have an easy 700 hp, and more is as easy as a pulley-down and minor retune, just like with a Magnacharger
