Trying out the new Bully Dog tune in the Ecoboost truck. Traction is impossible! I have 33" Goodyear Duratrac tires installed and this truck lights them up like crazy! Traction control kicked in and ruined the fun even though I disabled the first stage of traction control. The 1-2 shift is a bit stiff for normal driving and city driving is difficult because now you can tell it is a turbo v6. It builds up torque and lurches forward, then it shifts early, dumps boost..then turbo lag begins...and it does this for every gear. Enabling Tow/Haul mode fixes this but then holds gears causing poor mileage.
Looks like a good product. Everyone in the f150forum is talking about it. Also looks like you can take the speed limiter off with this tuner. Awesome none the less. I have to do more reading one the forums or maybe you can answer this but does the tuner allow you to adjust it depending on the different CAI's such as Airraid or Ingen and if you have a Aeroturbine or Heartthob exhaust?

@pongdadong Bully Dog's tuner will only allow you to modify the tire size and max speed (stock 99 or 150) There is a premium fuel tune, regular fuel tune, and a tow tune. I like the premium tune for highway driving, but is not very friendly to drive in the city with stop and go. It dumps boost with every gear shift and makes normal acceleration not easy to drive. The 1-2 gear change is very harsh, just drops into gear causing the tires to break loose in 2nd. It drives nice on open highway though
