SCT tuner will bring you back to the stock feeling. I bought mine a week after 285s because of the same issue

Are you running canned or custom tunes? I want to pick one up also,but I don't want to use the three custom tunes until I get new exhaust and tires.

Here you go before you go drop a **** ton of cash on cops. Someone on here mentioned these and they have great reviews. Even with a very generous discount from ford the whole 8 pack costs maybe $10 more than one oem coil
