Any one running a tune on their Tremor? How do you like it?

Been looking into an adjustable octane performance tune from Gearhead Tuning. I have their AO tune on my F150 2.7 and am impressed how smooth the power delivery is and the transmission tuning. The Tremor has me itching to mod a bit, tune, exhaust, intercooler.

I would love to jump on that if I didn't need to keep my warranty completely intact right now. I had my old F-150s tuned in the past and it was always a blast.

My stock 2026 Tremor is perfect as Is.
I’ve yet to need or want anything more outside of the stock performance setup.

But I can imagine there’s a sleeping giant inside that little engine.

I was lucky enough to win a Cobb AccessPort at the MTC Roundup this year. I recently started running MonsterTuned's Adapt-X tune. I'm admittedly running the tune mostly for the transmission tuning, simply because my Wife has a hard time putting 93 octane in it; I've convinced her to run at least Top Tier 91 in it versus her usual "crap" 87. I think I've got her convinced to jump up to 93 if fuel prices ever straighten out--more power and better mileage.

EVH5150, how is the transmission after the tune? Been breaking in our Tremor mostly in sport mode with manual shifting (paddles) to vary RPM. The GH AO tune I'm using now is very smooth at delivering power, about 100 HP more and over that in torque from my 2.7, and I requested 10% more shifting pressures for 1-2 2-3 3-4 shifts. The 6R80 now shifts very firm and somewhat quicker. The GH tune lists a 45 HP increase and 44 torque. This looks quite comparable to the COBB tune.

Shifting is definitely better. Monster doesn't give all of the transmission options that Cobb OTS does; he just uses one, probably "Sport", Cobb OTS has 3 options. I have a 2024, so no shift paddles, but they would surely help, but as far as I know, nobody has unlocked the ECU on '25+ Mavericks.

GH does list tunes, AO street, and an E50 tune, for 2025 2.0 EBs'
