I am Spartanized...
I finally got my AFE stage II installed yesterday. I started off with the 275 but now am running the 210. I like the shifting running the 210 better.
Anyway…good story...my boss who is a Dodge guy has been telling me that whatever you do, don't chip it. He drove my F-250 today and now aware of the information I have learned regarding Spartan Technologies and tuning...he wants to buy an F-250. Good timing for him since we are getting ready to build a new service center for a local Ford Dealer.

ahh man. i just loaded the 150 tune with dpf on since I havent got the exhaust and intake yet and man was i blown away. the speed from 35mph to 65mph just hauls *** haha. is the speed govenor disabled when the tunes are loaded?
when i put the stock file back on the truck i noticed that now when the truck regens, the message stays on the message center throughout the whole process. i never have seen the message at all... note ive only had the truck for about 1600 miles but im sure it would have regened between that time.

All Ford safety parameters are still there until you go to the 250hp & up race tunes. I have an older job #1 truck with the older flash, so I never saw a message for regen. I remember when I did what you just did. Big improvement over stock. Wait till ( maybe ) you do the DOC/DPF delete. Whole nother ball game....! Totally different truck.

Spartan is working on a new 275 HP tune that apparently is going to be a smoother shifting version but still the 275 HP?? I can't wait.
Congrats on getting the Spartan, it is sooo awesome how the trucks perform with that setup.

Oh please say it's so! I've been waiting for this forever! I always say, I wish they would make a high HP tune that would shift smoothly like the 210. The only reason I don't like the 210 is that the TC doesn't lockup fast enough in my opinion. On the 275... as soon as it locks up you're gone!
And to the new guys on the block... Congrats! You will not be disappointed!

We had a good 3 car lengths at just 65mph, then I let off. I don't race in general though. Will never drive my truck without a spartan tune

Do you have the DPF/Cat delete as well ? im starting to get sick of this clean exhaust business especially since my work lately has me driving all over the city, my truck is missing the open road drive to work every morning
