Bang for buck, a solid tune for the Ecoboost can't be beat.

But don't take my word for it, search the forum around, hundreds and hundreds of posts of folks loving their tuned Ecoboost trucks.

Very bad idea... You will enjoy your truck too much and look for excuses to drive it.

Been tuned since around 5k miles - one of the best truck related decisions I have ever made - cant beat how fun the eb is to drive once tuned.
I have over 62k miles now and my only complaint is that my tires aren't lasting long enough .....

That or an sct x4. If the x4 I recommend a custom tune (which is free if you buy the x4) from 5 star tuning or mpt. There are a couple others as well to consider. Mpg can improve and huge gains in power only a 5.0 owner can dream of.... Lol

I've been tuned since 4K miles when SCT first started supporting the Ecoboost. Even the canned tunes are an improvement, custom tunes even more so. You won't believe it's the same truck. 29K now.

All the cool guys are doing it. You want to be cool, right?

But, seriously, any questions at all or anything you want me to elaborate on?
