SCT SF3 tunner with custom tunes from Troyer. The custom tunes definitely wake up the truck!! Removes the throttle lag, and the truck just goes (especially with a performance tune). The only thing that I noticed is even with slight throttle it shifts hard, harder than I think it should. I do understand that the tune is meant to remove the lag in shifting, but being the nerd I am I dont think its supposed to slam into gear and lerch forward like it does. Under WOT I can understand, but not under civilized city driving. What ever tuner you go for I suggest going to a shop to get custom tunes. Troyer has excellent history with Ford's and especially the trucks with their tunes, but going to a shop to have it tuned can weed out some of the personal preference problems you might get from a tune you ordered from a specialist that you didn't visit. Now mind you I wasn't able to travel to Troyer in VA to have them dyno tune my truck, man I wish I could though.

B.T.W. I am running Troyers 87 Tow tune with a magnaflow exhaust and AirAid Intake.

How long did it take you to get your tunes from Troyer? I talked to them a few months back and they said 2+ months.

I think Im going with MPT when Im ready.

We have a down pipe, cai, tune file all going on at the same time. 2013'f150 eco boost. All the one's so far are 4x4 crew cab. I am trying for a 2wd ext. Cab. 1-2 weeks. I'll post up the dyno results. Then quarter mile times.
Then trans is a tough one. One of our customers has driven with many different products and calibrator files. Ours ,is said to be the best. As we are still in the R&D phase, i can not say more.

Get ahold of Edge and explain your situation. I think they have a charge for unlocking their programmers. I think?

Look at it this way, its $75 to learn to set your vehicle back to stock with your programmer. I bet that is $75 you WONT EVER HAVE TO SPEND AGAIN!!!!

I learned a long time ago about that from a friend who forgot about that on his truck. It was still at the dealership when I got there with the programmer, but it was set to sell to someone the next morning.

Well, my friend still had an ignition key but no door key. Thankfully they left the door unlocked. I had it programmed back to stock and made $100 in 10 minutes!!
