Ordered a tune from 5star!
Just spent $400 on a tune from 5Star! Got the X4 and 1 tune, 87 daily/tow.
Sure hope it helps with the throttle response. I'm taking my camper to Iowa on a 2000 mile round trip in a few weeks, so I'll find out how much it helps and report back.
That's all, folks!

I do 0-60 runs on a flat area near my work, which is at 10,000' elevation (Gillette Flats). My truck consistently gets 12.5 secs with a stop watch. That's my baseline for performance to see how much the tune helps. My tuned '13 SHO consistently does it in 5.5 secs.

Sorry you wont avg 16 mpg with or without a tune in these trucks. With a diesel maybe, but not with a gasser.

Not trying to hijack the thread but while you guys are talking about mph I got a weird one.... Normaly i set the cruise control at the speed limit, 65 on the highway and I get around 12.5mpg on the computer but today I ran 75 and the computer jumped up to 14-14.5mpg. Truck is a 15' 4x4 with 3.73 gears and about 1800 miles on the odemeter. Dont really understand why it would do better driving faster.....

<p></p><p>My completely stock '13 SHO (with PP and 3.16:1 final drive) does 5.5 for a 0-60 - measured with an SCT X3 grabbing data. And that's without power-braking to get the turbos going. I would double check that time <img alt="Evil Grin" src="https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/images/smilies2/evilgrin0007.gif" style="height:19px; width:21px" title="Evil Grin" /></p>
