Ask yerself first - what are yer goals? Be honest aboot this

For just the vast trans algorithm improvements alone, adding a custom-tuned programmer is worth it.

The complication arises from potential warranty denial risks, should something untoward occur.

That would be entirely up to the individual's comfort level.

From a purely technical perspective - indeed.... well worth it.

FWIW Gordy - it would help if ye actually responded this time and stated whether or not we answered ye question, or if'n ye required further clarification. Yeah - you have a rep, lol.

GORDEN,

Here is a customer's thread on here with his personal review of our 2015 F150 5.0L tuning. I was just on here reading threads and stumbled upon your post and his about 10 minutes ago. Sounds like he was impressed enough to post this before sending us any feedback which speaks for it self.

Feel free to give us a call , PM , or email if you would like to discuss this further or to place an order as well.


The 87 octane performance tune is good for maximum gains of over 20hp and 13tq. Our 93 octane tuning sees maximum gains over 30hp and 32tq! In addition to these performance enhancements, we also spent a great deal of time improving throttle response, part throttle shifting, and working to ensure our updates play well in all 3 driving modes. Coupled with the performance upgrade, these drivability changes make the truck feel greatly improved in day to day usage.

Here is a Dyno sheet showing the results tune only on 87 and 93 octane vs. stock tuned.
