If the Ford Tech knows what to look for the tuner's leave a trace, depends on the mood they tech is in as to whether or not he says or notes anything about it.

As far as the best solution for your rig....I'd go with a hand held programmer like the Diablo Predator on the tow (lowest) setting. Once the performance tune is set back to stock it leaves no traces.

This is the route that I took with my truck. It's past warrenty now, but I wanted to make sure that it would last for many years to come. The Diablo Predator tow setting is perfect for me. Lot's of extra power and no smoke at all.
