Two issues right off the bat.

It is staying in torque control throughout your pulls. Looking closer it is using driver demand.

It is commanding 40 degrees of spark advance. ( this is too much even on straight alcohol)
You didn't log knock so I don't know if it is pulling enough spark to stay
out of detonation. I would not go WOT with this tune.

My advice is to find a new tuner.

5 star is known for truck tuning and they are reasonable in price. 5 star won't blow your engine.

Let us know how the new tune feels.

5Star has EcoBoost trucks down to perfection !
I’m unsure if they have the 5.0 GT350/87mm TB combo perfected.

GT350 TB ain't worth it IMO. Go with the stocker/adaptor .

FYI, if you need the MAF sensor Transfer Function info. for your tuner to get you dialed in, you can get it off of the PMAS website.

Report back, it’ll be interesting to hear how the 5Star 87mm TB tune responds.
I’m a fan of all my buddies 5Star EcoBoost F-150’s tunes, they have the 10 speed trans dialed in.

Ok so @K4fxd the car runs way better and i did a lil trip to mexico and car is running amazing but right now it backfires and my timing retards to 1 or 0.2 while it backfires. it only happens when i fully let go of throttle other than that works amazing amd very fast right now😂

Probably a vacuum leak. Glad it is running well.

all vaccumes r fine smoke tested n we thought it was throttle body it wasnt so we assume spark plugs went bad since it had all that timing at WOT before so will change and see what happens
