will it come with no lift shift function like ford power pack tune?
and is it possible to make the exhaust pops and crackles more with a little bit worse mpg?
Thank you

On my race e85 tune I average 16.5 mpg mixed driving, 93 octane is 21.6 mpg mixed driving. if anything a tune will get rid of the low rpm shutter off idle when accelerating It almost makes the car feel like it's surging when you feather the pedal to accelerate. Down fall of the snappy shifts going into 2nd and 3rd is that the car can blow the tires off under full throttle with stock tires

I did a Lund flex tune and JLT. A great first step for the money. Terry @ Beefcake took care of me. Great to deal with. Usually have a Christmas sale if you can wait that long. He does give 6g members a better price if you pm him.

Hey guys.
My car only has only K&N filter and Ford Racing catback exhaust, and thinking about tune it without adding other parts.
What Im looking for is only low end torque, betther throttle response and no lift shift if possible, and don't really care about the peak number.

I don't know how much difference it would make, and what brand should I choose? VMP, Lund....

Thanks guys!:clap2:
It ain't cheap, but a Lund flex fuel tune is a NIGHT AND DAY difference.

21mpg is stunning:cheers:. I can say it even has better gas mileage than most ecoboost mustangs.

great info, thanks!

I wasn't going to tune it yet, either, but my buddy just bought a 2016 2SS... /sigh

He'll still destroy me, his was already modded - CAI/IM/tune. At least I have more experience around the track than he does, so I have driver mod going for me, but the front straight at my track is ~3500 ft, so he'll win that drag race (closest I come to a drag strip).

Lund Racing FTW!! You will feel every bit of that custom tune over stock. Let me know if you have any specific questions, as we are Lunds biggest dealer and would be glad to assist!

Definitely beefcake and Lund. If you PM beefcake you will get a deal you can't turn down. The man is on his game and Lund is the best IMO
