Can your V8 with tune only run 11s in 1/4 mile???
I love the sound of a V8 as much as the next guy... But come on... Hard to ignore the performance of an Ecoboost with a $500 tune...
I'll stick to my quiet, goofy sounding, V8 killer
Sport mode does not make more power.. it also does not make the vehicle any faster in the 1/4... On my tuned 15' f150 it ran the exact same time in normal and sport.. sport mode only adjusts shift points in the trans and throttle sensitivity.. when flat out it doesn't do anything for performance
This is not an important subject for a stock tuned truck....
These trucks are tuned to run on 87... Sure you might gain 5-10hp on 91-93...
Someone needs to hurry up and figure out how to tune these trucks... My truck is in need of some E50
Good discussion guys.... I enjoy reading civilized debates and learning some things in the process...
I for one, cannot wait for custom tunes to become available for the 21s.. I ran an E30 tune on my 15' 3.5 Ecoboost for 100k miles and made alot of mustang and Camaro owners really mad
Has anyone confirmed it performs better??? On my 15' Ecoboost it was actually slower in the 1/4 mile in sport mode... In my experience it just holds gears longer and makes the throttle stupid touchy... Custom Tuning is the only true "sport mode"
Turbos are nothing new.. old technology....turbo failures are very rare... For me it's all about performance... This is my Second 3.5 I've owned... First one (2015 F150) was tuned for ethanol (E30) since it was new... 100k miles later not a single problem... And was over 100hp above stock... I...
Zero power increase,, sport mode actually made my 2015 tuned Ecoboost slower in the 1/4 mile.... I think it holds gears too long with an Ecoboost... Might be a good thing with a 5.0
