Agree with this. I have the Firestone Indy500's and they are an older Bridgestone Re003 design. Great budget tire. Very good in the wet. Aggressive design and good performance at the dragstrip. They are a noisy tire, though.
The NT555's are almost an ancient design at this point. I had them on...
The Ford Performance tune is the only off the shelf tune I would go for as Ford remains involved to some degree and can take care of things if you still have warranty concerns. Anything else and you'll be back asking questions like, "Why does my power delivery feel choppy? Why does my tune feel...
Check the classifieds first. A used one will save you some cash and there's little downside to buying used as intercoolers are pretty much a lifetime part.
Sounds pretty normal honestly and this is one of the reasons I don't like off the shelf tunes. Could be anything. Plugs, bad gas, hot weather + stock intercooler. Datalog a pull and send it in, then stop boosting it until you get it sorted out. As good as Cobb is (I have their AP) I would never...
The springs don't contact the spacer. The top of the rear springs have a rubber seat that goes on top. The spacer goes between that rubber seat and the body perch.

Are there even any pro tuners out there who tune for that thing?
The Cobb Accessport and the Lund N-Guage have way more tuner support and are more expensive for that reason. Those are better options, in my opinion.
If the price tag is what attracted you, you really shouldn't cheap out on tuning.
There is. Most general discussion occurs in the bolt-on sub-
City driving is a death sentence for MPG's in the Ecoboost. Your driving mode is also killing it. If the performance pack Eco's still come with the 3.55's, that doesn't help fuel economy either. The Auto should theoretically increase...
Its going to require hooking up to the OBD2 port either way. I'm not sure what hardware you will need, like if it can be done with a regular scan tool at autozone or what. I would either contact Cobb or a pro-tuner like Adam Brunson or PDTuning and shoot them your question. Its been so long...
I'm not sure to be honest. If you bought it from a dealer, chances are the ECU is still oem. Have you ever ridden in a stock eco? If you have, the difference between the two is pretty apparent.
Its been a while since then so you might have to go back and search for threads from '15-'17 with keywords like 'Valencia' or 'Cleveland'. I think there was some stamping on the block somewhere that identified where it was built but I could be wrong.
Protune is always the best bet. Always.
But if, as you say, you NEVER plan on swapping out the down pipe, you could live happily with the Ford or Cobb tune...but much like an indoor cat whose never experienced anything else.
