Official Ecoboost tuner/programmer thread

I'm in the same boat. I've been running the 5Star tune with both the 87 and 91 eco tune and I haven't seen a single amount of MPG improvement. In fact, I'd say its less than stock. Have you had any luck finding improvement?

I am looking at getting one of the sct x4 tuners with 5 star tunes this week since they are $100 off.
What tunes should I get?
I was thinking of:
91 performance/tow
91 performance
87 performance/tow
93 performance/tow
Maybe 93 performance too as they are $10 extra at time of purchase.
I was going with 91 as I've been looking at gas stations and most have 91 where I live, very few have 93.
Opinions?

87 perf/tow if gas prices are crazy, 91 perf/tow for my daily driver and 91 perf for fun or if I maybe had a good highway trip

Nice. Earlier today I jumped on the deal through stage3 and got these three tunes. I'm pumped. Just gotta get new plugs

It didnt seem very nice to do to my motor so I went back to the stock tune. Now I have changed jobs and work in the city so it is easier to wait till the motor gets to operating temps before honking on it. The 87 tune, for my truck, was horrid for this and less so for the 91 but still pretty obvious. Tried to work with 5* but they just kept dialing it down. Now I run their canned 91 perf/tow tune and go easy on it till it warms up.

I ordered from 5star today and ordered the sct x4 and the following tunes:
87 per/tow
91 per/tow
93 per/tow
91 per
93 per
and just for fun 87 economy to try it if I don't like power......said no one ever ....but it was only $10 so why not.

I ordered the tuner and 5 tunes as well. It will probably be left on 93 perf/tow. I just hope it doesn’t suck to drive while I’m not towing. I’ve read that it shifts later which to me would result in lower mpg when daily driving unloaded.

Having run LMS, SSi, 5-Star and MPT, I never had an MPT tune work like I wanted. When I asked that the harsh shifting be fixed, they just reduced power and it ran like crap. With LMS, the tow tune was so weak that I couldn't tell whether it was loaded or not, but the performance tune was scary fast. I ended up running SSi for daily driving (really fast with smooth shifting) and 5-Star for towing. This was about 3-5 years ago so things may have changed.
