Why is every one so hell bent on adding more power to an engine that will out power the traction and the rest of the truck just as it left the factery. This at added cost and reduced relyability and loss of warrenty coverage. Bubbabud

Read what you quoted bubba....

Because a little bit more just isn't enough! Seriously though, if I have to explain it to you, you won't understand.......

Just tuning the stft's and ltft's would be worth it, disregard the performance gain. Look at your tail pipe, that black soot has dollar bills written all over it. And the amount of fuel dump they're using to quench the cylinders is ****in ridiculous.

Every other truck I have ever owned I had the urge....and the need to get more out of it.
The EB is exactly the opposite,has the power and pulling ability,not to mention fun factor that no V8 before it can compare to.
When I need to replace the exhaust something with more flow will go on but don't ever plan on messing with programming!
To each their own!

I wondering what you were looking for I pumped up my old 5.4 with a intake and exhaust and superchip tunner. It needed the help towing my new larger trailer. But my New truck with a 3.5 Ecoboost dose'nt.
Even with 3:31 gears I have way more power than I need. I towed my 6600lb trailer up a steep 11 mile 6% grade pass at 70mph at only 2800rpm, with lots of power left.
And when I tested My 0-60mph with the turbos spun up holding my foot on the brake with out spining the tires My truck did it in 6.38sec.
So what are you looking to get, over what your stock truck can do ??

3.5 twin Turbo Ecoboost, What a HOT ROD !

Come up here with some wide open spaces, go to pass somebody at highway speed, and then feel it stuttering about halfway around them when it hits the speed limiter. Stock, you've got a 365hp truck that a 1971 Maverick, with a 200ci 6 cylinder will outrun. (I know - because Dad's Maverick would do 100mph flat out)

The tune on my truck improves throttle response, lets me up the speed limiter, and the transmission isn't hunting around for shifts.

I had to take the tune off the other day, so I could have my dealer reflash the computer to use the integrated brake controller, and I could really tell the difference. I was happy to get home and reflash it.

For all you EB owners, I hope 5STAR comes up with a good tune for you.

I had innovative custom tune through the XCT 3 programmer on my 6.0 powerstroke, WOW. Loved that truck. pissed I had to sell it, now I got an ecoboost but its just not the same...had more fun with the powerstroke, but i already signed the dotted line so I'm sure it will grow on me, espically with a tune and louder exhaust.

Put mine back to stock also, Hard shifts and seemed like the waste gates were getting confused on hold and releasing boost pressure. I call Bullydog tech support and the guy said He has never heard of this before and said I was his first complaint call for the eco boost.....yeah right!!!
