Help me with "Tuning for Dummies" on my 2023 Maverick Ecoboost.

I’ll jump in here as I’ve got an incredible amount of experience tuning eco boost. First I’m not a fan of piggy back. Simply not the correct way to go. In my opinion just upping boost and not any other changes is less safe then a good ecu tune.

For instance I have had Livernois do 5 ecoboost and my gt500. Out of those 3 went over 200k tuned miles and 2 over 350k tuned miles. As for warranty almost nothing is undetectable if they want to find it. I’ve know a few that even got stuff covered while having a tune.
I would have to disagree with a previous poster about a local tuner. Ecoboost are a different animal and local tuners can have issues making them correct. Few stand above all others
I prefer Livernois. If they were not around the next best is Randy from tune works. He used to be lead tuner at montune.
Livernois just has better software to write tunes with than Cobb or hp. They are the only ones to have a true flex fuel for a lot of the ecoboost and mustang world. They have more access to the ecu calibration than Cobb.
One thread on here stated tune plus. That is one guy I would stay very far away from. I could go into details of why but it would be a long write up.

I just got my maverick Thursday and I’m waiting for my tuner from Livernois I ordered yesterday.

The transmission tuning with my Livernois makes the biggest improvement to overall drivability. Had it for over a year, no regrets.

Trans and the tip in are what does it for me. Plus that amazing diesel feel in lower gears.

I'm curious about this and know little. I corresponded with Livernois Motorsports about a tuner for my 100% stock Mav XLT 4wd with tow package. They said this:

"On 93 octane you will get peak vs. peak gains of 50+WHP and mid range
> gains of 100WHP+."

I asked with stock air and exhaust? They said yes. At $600 seems like a bargain. Is there a downside to this?

I searched here and found another brand tuner with similar claims. I saw a dyno chart and was really pleased to see most of the gains were in the low end and midrange. Seems like a win win.

What kind of place should I look to for the install? How much? Location is S W NH if there are specific recommendations. Thanks all!

I have a Livernois tuner on my Maverick and I love it! Night and day difference.

I went with 5 Star Tuning. Warranty concerns were a big issue for me. I plan on driving my Tremor until the wheels fall off. Bought it new. Installed tuner @ 1500 miles. Not only is 5 Star a Ford dealership, relatively local to me, they specialize in Ford tuning. The thing that sold me on them was the ability to purchase an extended warranty with their tune in the event FOMOCO refuses to cover a repair.
