is anyone using on a 2012 eco boost engine? What performance gains?

I've been running the cs on my 2012 ecoboost. I haven't tried the 91 tune but I can tell you the 87 has worked pretty good so far. The shifting and throttle response is what I noticed most. Since it had quicker pick up it seemed like it have me more power but it's had to tell. I really like the display though and I bought the ca dash mount and it looks great in the truck. Hope this helps a little.

The cortex is more for trucks that still have factory warranties. they offer other programmers that are cheaper, however I don't have one bad thing to say about the programmer. When it's in performance mode it's all out balls to the wall, mpg mode I gain a few mpgs if I can keep my foot out of It. I don't use the tow mode so I'm no help there but for a plug and play it's worth the money. Change trans pressures shift points del mph gov. Most of the time mine is on 93 performance mode and I also have a lil work done to the motor 2012 5.3 haven't been beet by a hemi yet

I have the 2012 Eco. Works great, with a few minor bugs. Just has to be played with to figure it out, and know how it works for me. FOR YOU if your model car is a LT,LS,or LTZ even idk if it will work for sure.I have to some times roll them all down, then roll them all up. And vice versa for it to work some times.

Worth it, if not for 2-3mpg gain, the performance enhancement (power)!! Of course all other upgrades aid to gains in mpg not just the mini max. Paid FULL price but think it was the best investment so far & I only had the diesel 4 weeks before seeking mini max. Good luck, great buy!

I have them on my 2012 ecoboost and they work great. I'm pretty sure ford hasn't messed with the suspension until the 2015 models, so you should be running the same set up on your 2013 as my 2012.

You may or may not get an increase of horsepower but the engine will breath much better. Net...net, you will feel a difference in performance.

None, after running it for a while, what fealt like a gain was not, dyno showed same results a a drop in performance filter. Also mileage dropped, to 25 mpg from 29 mpg. I recently returned car back to stock, power is the same, fuel economy back up. Only positive thing about this unit is price, and sound. I had the Mopar unit, prior to this, and a K&N; as well, money wise, lesson learned just buy a K&N; replacement filter and save some time and money. On a side note if you are looking for bling and nice tone from engine, then the unit is worth it.

My 95 Integra/Acura had done 200,000km before I replaced mine.Fuel economy was really bad driving normally after a full tune,replacing all filters,leads,plugs etc.Replaced O2 sensor and had vastly improved economy straight away.My RPM"s were normal. Mine had no check engine light come on.Dont forget to reset CPU. Still have car as its so reliable.Best of Luck.

At first I noticed that it dropped from around 40 to 36 or so. But that may have been due to me twisting the throttle harder because of the performance gain. Since then my mpg have come up to average around 37. But the reduced heat and smoother engine operations are worth the small drop in mpg in my opinion.

I live in a Chicago and I don't see any improvement in mpg in the city but on my trips to Detroit on the highway I might get 1 or 2 mpg improvement that I can notice. It was worth it regardless, makes the car sound better. Pair it with a decent exhaust system..even a pair of flow masters 40 or super 44 series and you will pretty good. U have this on a 13 2lt range camaro and I get good compliments.

I have an 09 f150 with the 5.4. I've got the Edge CTS, a K&N; CAI, throttle body spacer, and custom exhaust. If I drive with a light foot I see anywhere from 15-17 city and I've gotten 23 hwy with it set to "economy." On the hwy though, anything above about 70 MPH and you won't see that good. I did tow a 4 place Seadoo trailer from CA to Utah and was getting 19 mpg using the "towing" program. The programmer is compatible with the K&N; intake. When you run the setup you can select between a couple different CAI's and it will configure the tune for it. Overall I'm pretty happy with it and seen 3-4 mpg increase on both city and hwy. Hope that helps. I have an 09 f150 with the 5.4. I've got the Edge CTS, a K&N; CAI, throttle body spacer, and custom exhaust.

I have one in my 2014 Outback. Love it -- adds more passing power, better growl when stomped on, and a small gain in MPG. Better MPG gains with changing to AMSOIL in engine and gear boxes.

I got about 1-2 mpg extra on the performance tune... with a gentle right foot. Heavy right foot... not so much of a gain!

I put mine on a 1600cc engine and did get a good power increase. I have since put on 1641 jugs and runs good. It may be a bit short on fuel delivery with the bigger jugs you have. I looked high and low for comparable priced carbs and found none. They are a good bang for the buck if you don't expect Holley quality.

Overall my mileage dropped about the same amount ~15% that the performance increased according to the run on the dyno after the installation. I put a new higher flowing air cleaner, and exhaust system at the same time. Most of the decrease mileage is caused by me using the extra power. If I cruise gently, I get close to the same mileage. There should be a slight decrease from the fact that H-D runs the engine leaner than what is good practice for keeping the engine from overheating. At least that is the story that I have been told by several people. The Cobra tends to add a bit more fuel to the mix which is probably worse for emissions and mileage, but better for engine life.

I noticed no difference in mpg or any hp changes. The old exhaust tip just was way to ugly for me. However the new exhaust tip looks so much better and gets the look I wanted!

Yes, with egr delete, TS 8, Minimax, DPF delete, 4" exhaust, I get up to 24 mpg and 450 HP.
