What does a tuner do in a F150 2013 5.0
What does a tuner actually do in a non turbo engine? It's been a lot of years (pre electronic) since I've done much with an engine.
1.lean or enrich the fuel
2.change the timing
Trying to figure out if I can tune my current 5.0 (cheapest) to get more HP, put on a turbo charger (expensive) or get a new truck with a 6.2 or a diesel (very expensive)
I could not find anything that actually said what it does except change the shifting
Sorry if I just have poor searching skills

From the link
(adjusting its fuel curves, ignition timing, fan control, and a ton of other variables so that your truck makes huge amounts of horsepower and torque
increasing low-end torque over stock, while adjusting your truck's shift points, pressures, and throttle sensitivity for much more responsive driving)
What I am looking for is more towing ability (pulling a 7000# trailer cross country) don't need fast response to get it up to speed. Can you really adjust the fuel and timing to get huge amounts of HP?
I'm not doubting (well maybe a little) would just like to know how it does it.
I can see getting a quicker response with throttle and shifting, just curious how it makes a huge HP increase at a steady throttle.
Thanks for the response and link

They can make tunes based on your needs, contact them and see what they say!

Trust me they work.
5* does offer a warranty with their tunes. I think it's an additional 500$ but they will cover any damage that their tune caused.
