Awesome man! This may be my next purchase. My only concern now is if the 5.0 can handle this long term. I worried about it on my 2014 mustang, but didn't drive it that much. But I do know that the F150 has the updated connecting rods for 2015, so I'd think it should handle everything ok. I'm sure the whipple tune isn't super aggressive either.

The tune is brilliant. Written by the same person who writes the factory Ford tunes so it is super safe and I am sure longevity is no issue.

Could you please explain what this JMS PedalMax is?

Also did you datalog the dyno pull? What gear was the pull done in? Do you have gears?

Curious what your timing and A/F is @ WOT. From past experiences I noticed that tunes that come with the blowers the A/F isn't very smooth. I know you said its great but im curious how much better it be with a live hands on dyno tune.

The Pedal Max is a plug & play device that plugs inline with the gas pedal and takes the lag out of the drive by wire and makes it feel more like a live wire cable like the good ole days.

We did not data log and I am not sure if it was in 4'th or 5'th gear. I have stock 3.73 gears.

I didn't ask the air/fuel ratio but I can tell you it is spot on. Research the new Shelby F150 this is the exact same kit that comes in this truck.

Can the Pedal Max be "stacked" with a tune that already adjust DBW delay?

Well I would say yes because all it does is up the voltage so when you push the pedal it's like you were pushing it harder but not pushing it harder if you know what I mean.

You did not datalog? Hmm...Regardless of who may have tuned it or what car it came from, engines behave differently. I would surely want to see logs before I jumped to any conclusion about how great it is.

Nice work though. I would have loved to get a blower when I had my Coyote.

When I say how great it is I'm talking about start up, drivability, shifting, performance and the like. Data logging has zero to do with my impression.

I know with certainty this tune is written by the same person who wrote the factory tune that comes in the truck from Ford. Good enough for me, I'm not racing my truck it's an everyday driver so data logging is not a big deal for me.

If it was not a Whipple tune written by who wrote it I could see your point.

I would still data log it. I don't care who tuned it. And you may not drag race your truck but going WOT is WOT regardless if you are on a back dirt road or on a drag strip.
