Time will tell like it always does, no worries on that end.

You don't have to side with a liar, ESPECIALLY if you know nothing about my company.

Check out my work though, and what actual customers have to say:

Side with a liar is a strong statement. What I want to see are details. The first few posts by others have only partial info, and omitsome stuff that makes them look like shill posts. Your website shows your results, but no info about the truck you put it on. In fact, you said yourself here it's not a RR you tuned but actually a BR that achieved those results. Umm, that's a big red flag right there.

No offense man, but I don't know you or most of the folks here from Adam. When someone posts numbers for something without any real accompanying info my inner skeptic kicks in. And when you, the owner, admits it wasn't even on the truck we have but a similar vehicle, what the hell is someone supposed to think?

So how about we answer some questions. Did the bronco have any aftermarket components installed? What was the prep for the dyno (ice the IC), weather, and correction applied? What kind of dyno are you using? What gear was the truck in for the pull? What does bad 91 mean? It's either 91 octane or it isn't.

Do you have videos of the pulls? Did you install an FRPP tune to see what it did before your tune? What was the time between tune and dyno to allow for the truck to relearn its adaptive strategies? What's the injector duty cycle after your tune?

What did you change for the transmission strategies? How does this tune affect towing and other drive modes?

This is the kind of info a tuner should have readily available to post.

Please expound on what feels off about this. I'm genuinely curious

We can't lament the fact that we don't have enough options for tunes and then crucify another forum member for giving testimony of their experience with a tuner from a different platform.

Also just to be clear I do agree it's expensive, but a lot of the cost is the new ECU. Once/if a crack is found to tune our ECUs directly, the prices will drop significantly
When I see info omitted and claims that are much higher than factory (and a factory approved tune), without any qualifying data to back them back up, I am going to be skeptical.

Btw, I didn't say anything about cost. That's irrelevant to the discussion. I like being an informed consumer, and having been in this game for around 30 years, I've seen a lot of claims that fail to live up to the hype. Nothing more, nothing less.

He lied multiple times (in fact nothing he said was accurate), you said you side with him. So you said it, not me.

The bronco raptor and Ranger raptor have the same drivetrain, so it can be interchangeably spoken about as other tuners have done.

As far as all of your questions, does Ford themselves answer any of those for you since you mentioned they should be readily available? I’d expect you to hold Ford to the same level of detail you hold me to, or do you have issue with their offering as well?

But…to answer all of your questions please watch my video that I put out a couple of weeks ago. Tons and tons of value add in it.

@Goosetuned thanks for your posts and the information about your tunes. I especially enjoyed your info on the limits on using ethanol with the bronco and ranger raptor stock fuel systems. I have a local friend deep into the explorer st race world, and he was warning me, based on their stock fuel systems, to stay around e30 to e40. You confirmed for me the the explorer 3.0 systems are quite similar to the bronco/ranger 3.0. There's most likely a lot for us to learn from those modding explorer 3.0s over the past few years. Like us tho, no one seems to have decrypted the 2025 software yet, so an ecu swap is required.

The fuel system limitations are very similar!

The numbers were from a Bronco Raptor, that is correct. But also being on 91ACN fuel, it's pretty much like tuning 88-89oct.

I'll be testing on proper 91-93 in the coming weeks. Very limited out here.




It's fueling. All we have in this area is 91ACN (88-89oct in other states), so we've pretty limited.



Ford Performance tune will NOT make +77whp +104wtq on 91ACN fuel, please understand that. At best it will make +30whp.

I have a nice update coming soon on the power side of things. :)

You don't lose exhaust functionality with my product, not sure where you heard that because I've never mentioned that with my offerings. And if you're comparing me to what another company is offering please don't, or just ask me first for correct information.

I don't jump directly into platforms immediately, specifically for this reason, lack of functionality/missing tables/etc. If I'm in a platform, I'm in it to do things the right way.
What other reason do you have for having to replace the factory ECU?

And why does Steeda’s dyno results after 1 week of driving prove you wrong?

You have to replace the ECU so you can read/write the trucks ECU. Oem ECU isn’t read/write since it’s locked down

I’m not sure what the steeda comment means, I’m sorry.

The factory ecu is locked. Ford Performance holds the key and the ecu’s will remained locked until companies like GooseTuned (Cobb) and ZFG (HP Tuners) are able to crack it.

Experienced tuners crack the factory coding.
Two different things my dude.

What you meant to say is “experienced security engineers/reverse engineers crack the factory coding”.

Per your logic there are 0 experienced tuners on earth.

Lol.

Then why are there hundreds of other platforms out there where experienced tuners (like Cobb for example) flash the factory ECU?
