Yup you can adjust for tire size, any regearing you might do, you can remove the speed limiter, and tons of other things that I don't remember cause I didn't need to do any of them lol

Best advice is to research the different tuners for the vehicle and buy through the one you want. You will get an SCTX4 and a tune from that vendor. One nice feature is that you can use the SCTX4 to read trouble codes and also do KAN reseys when you want. I find myself doing a KAM reset once a month just to keep the drivability at it's peak performance.

I have not tuned my truck. So there's my disclaimer.

But.. I have tuned a few Ford V8 vehicles and in my opinion you may be a little let down. This is especially true with the 2011+ Ford engines because the engineers have already squeezed almost everything there is out of the new engine lineup.

The tuner will alter shift points and converter lockup. Some people like that, some don't. It'll feel different. Results will vary. Engine power will be minimally different on a dyno and imperceptible to feel. Fuel economy isn't going to magically increase either. You're basically paying $400 for somebody to screw with your transmission and give you 6 horsepower. Whether that's worth it or not is up to the user.

The reason I run a tuner on my Mustang is because I have gears and mods that needed the tuner to support them. Otherwise I wouldn't waste my money on it.

I ended up getting a used SCT 3015 from another forum member for $200. Best money spent on my truck so far and only on a canned tune. I like being able to adjust for my tire size as well (285/65/20)

Dido on this and if you buy from stage3motorsports you get free lifetime tunes if you want to upgrade to and intake or supercharger later... but you have to purchase your parts from 5 star vendors only or else your lifetime tune are warranted

For the record - MPT provides the same free service if you buy upgrades from them.

I'm all for forum sponsors (MPT used to be one as well). But if I'm paying the same money, I'd prefer a product that provides demonstrably superior gains, but that's just me, lol.

Fellers are all extremely happy with their personal custom tuning shops - be it MPT, 5*, Unleashed, LET, etc, so no worries.

Lol.

I dunno what tuner you've been using (canned Hypercrap or Jet, perhaps?, lol) but that is not even remotely accurate.

Examples ( MPT, tuning only ):

6.2L: 50 rwhp / 50 rwtq gains

5.0L: 47 rwhp / 47 rwtq gains ( pre-Fideen)

3.5L EB: 109 rwhp / 158 rwtq gains (Fideen)

All fully documented, with dyno results. And many, many hugely satisfied customers who certainly CAN discern the efficacy of the results.

Pre-fideen, fideen? What do you mean by that?
