    I have looked at the boost-max , pedal-max and the pedal commander . would the p/c work with the boost-max. I know you should try to stay with the same brand but the pedal commander looks to be better overall if it works with the boost-max

    It will. It's simply changing the pedals actual position to a decreased/increased state. Many people have used it with different tunes on their G1's.

    I called 5Star Tuning last week, they indicated they will have a nice product out soon. Apparently, if I understand what they said correctly, they already have the tuning on their computers in their shop so they can already tune a vehicle locally but if you are not local (in my case) then I have to wait for the first "tuner box" to release the ability for them to load onto tuner and ship out to everyone. They said that should be coming within another month or so, I am looking forward to it. Also, they confirmed auto start/top will be deleted in their tunes.

    has anyone heard any more about the rumored ford performance tune that was supposedly coming out? I don't want to void my warranty

    I spoke to them today. They will be at the Texas raptor run next month. They can flash your truck with their tune. $500

    What kind of performance gains are these tunes going to deliver? Any estimates?

    That's impressive! Any word about optional transmission files that come with the tuner?

    5Star had a warranty You could purchase for this reason on the older ecoboost. I'm guessing they will offer it on this one as well.

    Am I the only one that thinks those HP numbers are a tad exaggerated? And what are supporting mods for this? What exactly are they doing to create this HP? What about the TCM?

    That's a significant jump for $500. Well worth the money.

    My thoughts exactly.. why I said they "claim" 477/525 at the wheels. I have my doubts. I am looking into another option. A local guy to the the dfw area. Adamstuning.com. He comes highly recommended
