Hello gentlemen and ladies. I have a 2012 f150 with the ecoboost. So far I have gapped the plugs to .28, got an sct tuner(running canned 87 tune), aem filter, and 4 inch mbrp. What other mods are out there that will help me see some gains and not hurt the pocket book? Is a custom tune really worth it? What about bovs? Worth it? Any other mods roughly in the same price range?

I have the sct and the canned tunes are worthless. Go custom tune and you will never look at your truck the same way. Yes it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!

EDIT: I have used both 5* and MPT and they are equally impressive with MPT being a bit more aggressive. Currently running an MPT race tune as DD.

yeah man, why even bother with SCT tunes...go with MPT or unleashed

Pretty much aside from tuning, there isn't really a lot of power adders, aside from maybe a rear end swap. The ecos hit a ceiling pretty fast after tuning, but you'll be running in the 12s on just a tune so who cares

Any engine will benefit from a custom tune. A forced induction engine will REALLY benefit from a custom tune especially when coupled with an intake and exhaust.

Blow off valve won't give you more power. Just a cool sound...

Custom tune meets your specs for sure.

I'm a big fan of my MPT tunes. stepping up to 91 or 93 octane is well worth it, as well.

I had the 4" MBRP on my truck and it almost felt slower, like the low-end power suffered quite a bit. I never would have thought a catback would make so much of a difference but when I went back to stock I noticed immediately that it spooled up and moved out quicker.

Emailed tune with datalogs is the way to go as others have said. Makes the canned tune seem like stock.

As others have said there is no performance benefit to a catback except sound. The restriction is at the downpipes. If you do the downpipes you might as well go the extra step and swap out the turbos.
