V8 Cylinder Deactivation Solutions?

Being that the 14th gen has been out for a minute now, has anybody found a good and safe way to permanently disable the V4 mode??
I freaking hate when it kicks into V4 mode because my truck just sounds like absolute crap.

Can you actually hear it? Or is it so subtle you don’t even notice?

With normal exhaust, you can't tell... or at least I can't. ?‍

I can hear it with the stock exhaust, it kind of sounds like when you back off the throttle on an old 2-stroke and it bogs out

I have the flowmaster outlaw in my truck, im going to test it out in sport mode and see if I can hear the difference.

I can't tell it at all with my stock 5.0. Doesn't bother me since I can't hear a difference.

So tested out Sport Mode, it turns off the auto-start stop. Normally I just jump in and drive, the truck is kept in eco or normal mode, I have to always push the start stop button. When i turned it to sport mode the off light on the start stop button came on. Also noticed waaaaay better throttle response, I normally have my speedform throttle controller at 1.7 had to turn it down to 1.4 was too sensitive for my tastes. Did notice a difference in tone, acceleration sounded the same, deceleration and maintaining speed the tone was more of a v8 rumble in Sport Mode, it definitely turned off the Displacement on Demand crap. Think i'll keep it in sport mode from here on out

I ROUGHLY GET A .2MPG LESS DIFF RUNNING IN SPORT VS NORM IN 4A ALSO. I JUST WISH IT WOULD DEFAULT TO SPORT FULL TIME.

Tow mode also stoos cylinder deactivation and is not as aggressive as sport mode.
