    welcome to the club! I have a 2011 EB and its a beast especially when towing. I have a couple tunes that really wakes it up. I dont pull too often but when I do its some pretty good size loads and it does it like a champ.

    I am using SCT livewires. I have tunes from two different companies. 5 star tuning and MPT (morepowertuning.com). I have similar tunes from each. Been running them for several years. I've been debating going back to them and getting a different 87 tune. I currently have 87 economy tune and 93 performance/tow tunes. I always run the tow tunes because they have the best mix of mileage and performance. The economy tune sucks. But now I'm tired of filling with 93 all the time and would like to just run 87 with a slight bump in performance over stock. I don't beat on it and just need it to be more economical for my DD.

    Okay thanks. I have a diablosport i2 that was for my wreaked Dodge that I can pay 149 and get a key for the Ford. Cheaper than having to buy a whole tuner. I will check them out. Thanks.

    So I paid the $149 and got the tuner licensed to the truck and put on the 87 tune and turned off the rev limiter. I see a few companies that tune for it using the i2 so will check with them. The real problem is I discovered that AM has a whole site dedicated to F150's and there are all kinds of goodies in the Ecoboost section - intercooler upgrade , BOV's , better turbo's , throttle bodies - I could get in some serous trouble , lol.

    It's a huge aftermarket world for them. I have several sources. I currently have AFE intake, which is nothing more than something cool to look at. Dual turbosmart bovs, and catless downpipe. Also more recently did bilstein leveling struts and rear shows along with new BFG KO2s.

    I was thinking of starting with a tune and a CAI for it then see where it is at and go from there. Thinking exhaust after that like a downpipe or something.
