Hey everyone, I picked up a 2016 EcoBoost this morning from a really good guy, unfortunately it was his wife's and she passed away. It's a beautiful magnetic grey one with every options besides Recaro seats, and only had 2700 miles on it.

I was debating this and the GT but ultimately chose this because of the right deal, with the right options, and the gas mileage which is a surprisingly nice perk. I do wish it had just a bit more pickup when you really get on it, and so I was thinking of going with a conservative tune.

Who makes the best tuner for this, and what tune should I use? I'd like to stay at 89 octane if possible.

Looking at one of these...really would like to see some follow up and answers on all these good questions...and why such a low octane tune...at least 91 I would think...

This is a few months old, just noticed it, but thought I agree with bosssho and add, with or without a tune, you're not going to get the most out of the 2.3's performance potential on anything less than premium fuel.

This forum seems pretty dead.

I did end up getting a 15 Magnetic and love it...still in the "figuring out" mods stage, but yep, 93 Octane Tune all the way. Many are actually doing E30 Tunes, but I don't want to become a chemist lol

Are the hi ethanol tunes to take advantage of the cooler running alcohol or anti-knock properties or both? I've seen some E85 tunes advertised.

The best conservative tune comes right from Ford racing. And it's warranty friendly.
