Anyone towing with a tuned/modified Ecoboost?

Tuning a gas engined 1/2 ton seems like a waste of time and money. Diesels seem to benefit from tunes much easier and readily than gas engines.

Some people have too much time, too much money and not enough common sense.

Actually, because the EcoBoost is very similar in the way it works (direct injection, turbocharged) to a diesel that runs on unleaded, it gets some pretty good gains when tuned.

Traditional gassers (like yours and mine) are likely to gain very little power when tuned, and, because they aren't direct injected, premium fuel would be required for any noticeable power improvement. I plan on leaving mine bone stock.
