Default EcoBoost programmers, chips, etc?

Has anybody know of and/or used any chips or programmers on the ecoboost motor? If so, what were your results in terms of mpg or hp improvement?

If paid extra for the extended warranty you may wanna hold off.

I held off on that because it ran parallel with the factory warranty, not in addition to, which seemed like a waste. I'll revisit that before factory expires. Thanks.

I think you have to sign up before 12,000 miles or the rate goes up - not totally sure on it

I sent a message to Livernois Motorsports about this and they said they have an EcoBoost truck and are working on it. Ford encrypted the computers more than previous vehicles so it is taking a little longer to break in.

I found an older post on another forum where they posted that they got 43hp/64trq on a Ford Flex EcoBoost with only a tune.

If we could get that safely and reliably on the F150, I'd definitely buy a tuner!

They must be getting emails up the ***. I sent one about a month ago, and a friend of mine stopped into the shop about 2 weeks ago. They seem to be giddy about the eco 150, when it was brought up at their shop a couple differant guys came up to the counter and started talking about it like a bunch of kids at christmas. I guess a bunch of them that work their just bought eco's, and their working now to crack the computer.
