Socaldiablo.com, then go under contact and call the number, which is his cell phone number, this is the best way of communication with him and is the way he prefers it too. I think the device with two tunes is around $450.00. I have a 2013 also and he has got these tunes dialed in, you will absolutely love what his tunes will do for your pick up. You will get a lot better throttle response, gobbs of more power, better shifting and shift strategies, and if you can keep your foot out of it better fuel economy.

Thanks Savage. 450 is pretty reasonable for a device and custom tunes. I drive this truck pretty lightly as in usually keeping an eye on the green bar to see how good the ecoboost can be. I've had a 10 second mustang in the past so I still have that need for more power when I want it. May I ask which octane tune you are running? Is it really that much different than stock?

I am running a 91 perf/tow tune, and yes it is quite a difference compared to stock. In certain parts of the throttle I bet you will gain close to 100 ft/lb torque and 50 horse maybe little more or little less depending on what tunes you get.

Savage, it sounds like the tunes you have for your 2013 is what I am looking for. If I call Shawn I would like to reference you so that I get the tunes you have. Does Shawn know you by your forum name? Thanks, Matt

I agree his tune is really great and lance has done a fantastic job communicating with him and getting it dialed in but to say that's the ultimate tune for an f-150 is bold when you have never drove Livernois.

I think Shawn sent you a new version with a flat boost curve, but he didn't put my toned down shift strategies in it, which took away all the drivability issues for me.
