If you do get a tune and go with a ngauge make sure you get the version 2 if you ever want to monitor boost. I didn't know that going in. I'm sure you can use any number of sending units because the gauge will allow for a few anolog setups but I wanted the lund boost box.
Thanks for info. I really floored it at about 30mph and I was not all that impressed. I mean it ran better than my 2010 FX4 with 5.4. But I really thought it would hit harder for a claimed 650hp. Maybe after it breaks in.

You turn off advance track? Even on the stock Roush tune I'd have traction control interference up to 60mph or more with stock tires and 2wd. It should leave any 5.4 for dead, and if it doesn't then something is wrong.

you can hold the tc button down for about 10 seconds and it should turn off most of the nanny's. I don't want to trash talk the truck but yeah there not what you'd think it would be.

I put it in sport mode and shut off traction control. And, well this truck took off. I mean it rolls. Wow, I was zipping thru traffic. Partial throttle acceleration is awesome.
