After Market Tuners

Just wanting to know what experiences any of you might have with these items. Are they really worth it ?? Hypertech says 36 more HP on my 2011. For any who have done it, can you really feel a difference ?? And what about gas mileage ??

For me it's a lot of money if I really can't tell much difference.

Feedback appreciated.

to me...its worth it...although you may spend the $400 upfront...throughout the year you will save more is youre wanting gas mileage...i have superchips and love it...my mpg's increased from 17 to about 23-24 mpg's depending on how i drive...HOWEVER...i have a "canned" tune...meaning preset...if you go with SCT...you can get a custom tune built to your specific desires...for the same price...and should have other input options...the advertised readings for programmers are under absolute conditions...91 or 93 octane...and other modifications...you will feel a difference in shift and take off pending your settings...i know i saved money withing the 1st 2 months of having mine

Did you have to change to premium fuel ??

I would only go with the canned tune.

Depends on the tune you get. It can be tuned for 87 or 91.

No complaints here from my HyperTech. Tranny improvement alone is worth it. Slightly better mileage, not drastic...better overall drive ability. The ole butt dyno is able to tell a difference!

Worth it all the way, not too expensive at autoanything.com. Better pick up off the line and on the highway for passing and much better on transmission shifting. Gas mileage maybe a hair better but no loss.

Just got my Livewire TS hooked up and I noticed a big difference in the ride already...smoothed out the ride...

Wow!! 23 or 24 mpg???? Ford needs to change their engine management team STAT! Fords stock price could double if they manage to get the superchips team in there, and FIRE all those overpaid engineers!

Thank you guys so much, especially the ones with the later models like mine. Did all of you go with the premium tune ?? I would have to get considerable better mileage to offset the cost of the premium.
