New tremor owner

Just picked up a brand new Tremor in December 2015 (actually on my birthday lol). All I can say is it is by far the nicest and quickest truck I have ever driven. I just sold my Lincoln Mark LT and my Bullitt Mustang and I don't miss either of them with this truck! I got sick of driving around in that bigass Mark LT and the Bullitt with only 5K miles was driving me nuts worrying about getting a scratch or chip on it.
Anyway the Tremor 4X4 is soooo much fun to drive! I have been thinking of installing a Roush Ford F-150 EcoBoost Phase 1 Power Pack or a custom tune but have not decided for sure. It is quite satisfying as it is.
Roush claims that for $650 you bump the HP up 50 and get an extra 86 lb.-ft. Torque. This includes a ROUSH 3 Year/36,000 Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty. I asked my local Ford dealer who is also a Rosh dealer about the warranty and they said it will be maintained with Ford as well. Either way you are covered on the warranty from what I have been told. So you end up with a Tremor with 415 HP and 506 lb-ft of Torque. Not too bad if they work.
The 04 Lightning that people want to compare this truck with was rated at 380 hp @ 4750 rpm and 450 lb-ft of Torque @ 3250 rpm.
So if the Roush tune works then the Tremor would have the Lightning beat by 25 HP and 56 lb-ft of Torque. The weight difference is (2WD/4WD) 5123/5361 lb for the Tremor VS. 4670 lb for the Lightning. So the HP would probably be a wash with the weight difference but the Torque range of the Tremor really blows the Lightning away. My guess is the Tremor would come out on top with a new tune. These trucks are so nice that I will gladly take the extra weight over the Lightning especially to have a truck that has four wheel drive and is so comfortable to drive.
So have any of you guys used the Roush Ford F-150 EcoBoost Phase 1 Power Pack on a Tremor. I am interested to see if it is worth it. One of the custom tune shop owners told me they are junk tunes and mess up the shift points too. Who knows?

I always liked that deeper color red . . . . The RACE RED is a bit TOO bright.
People ask me every day "why did you trade your Tremor...it was unqiue".

A chip & filtered Lightning would still beat the chip & filtered Tremor. My 2000 L ran 13.07 with just a chip & filter. Best time I've seen on a stock Tremor is 14.3. Best Lighting stock time was 13.37. Even my 5.0 RCSB 5.0 runs 14.3X bone stock with 3.55's and little 265/60/18 factory tires. Tremors are very nice, but not as fast as Ford led eveyrone to believe.
3.5/Tremor on the other forum ran a 14.2 in a stock Tremor.,The 4.10s hurt the Tremor in the 1/4. That's why the fastest Tremor has 3.55's.

The Tremor had a 3.55 ratio?
You should post your time in this thread > https://www.f150forum.com/f70/5-0-qu...s-mods-190134/ because you have the fastest stock 5.0 RCSB.
