Im hoping my ford tune with ic is a good pair for long haul. Im hoping for 150k-200k out of my engine. 34k so far and sheās been great. I tuned at 1k milesI First got my Eco in 16 because I wanted to get out of a high strung Audi and the GT was 10k more with a daughter in college. All it had was an intercooler. Then 2 years later and of course wanting a GT I sold my motorcycles and saved a bit and started the GT search to trade the Eco in. It was the most disappointing search I have had searching for an expensive sports car. I was disappointed with the Gt's I drove. I just wasn't ready for the lack of torque down low during everyday driving compared to the eco. All the GT's were stock though. All Gt's were 10-12k more then my eco and didn't impress. I went and bought a whole another car for the price. Got a nice 05 GT that is FBO and tuned and runs pretty good for 10k.
But last year I finally found a reasonable deal on a 16 GT. I still miss the torque. I still say the Ecoboost is the most underappriciated car out there and really MUST by run on 93 OCT. And in some ways the GT is the most overrated. Its fun in the higher RPM's but a bit lack luster down low during everyday driving for me. The tuning and has helped some and I'm content for now but I sure miss the torque that my previous turbo cars had. If I could trust an Eco to not Ecoboom, I would love the power of a tuned Eco more then a GT as a daily.
