Somehow the "experts" who swear by "chip tuning" never seem to connect future failed emission tests, broken exhaust manifold studs/bolts, cracked exhaust manifolds, premature catalytic converter failures, burned exhaust valves, cracked cylinder heads, excessive oil consumption (because of burned valve guide seals) with their economic "magic" of chip tuning.
Aaaaawwww. Such an inconvenient truth. Yeah, . . . . . the engineers at Ford have no idea what they are doing.

All your little failures happen without tuning anything,
I also can’t remember the last time someone had an issue with a failed valve seal.
Cracked cylinder head? Seriously?
Catalytic converter failures? Happens all the time on stock vehicles.
Oil consumption because of a tune? That one doesn’t add up!
And yes, driving an F53 with the stock generic tune I can tell you there is a lot to be desired from it.
As far as the engineers/designers go……don’t get me started on what I have to repair/replace because of what an engineer thought was a great idea! 3 threads per spark plug hole on a V-10 is one of them! Too small of exhaust studs is yet another great engineering design! Need I go on!
