I see that COBB is tuning some Ford EB engines... but not the 2.7 yet. I had a COBB accessport/tune on my BMW 335i and it was amazing! I originally had a plug in chip or basically a boost tricker that plugs into the MAP and it was ok, but having a full tune is so much smoother and the gains are better. Plus you can specify actual tunes for which other mods you may have, like exhaust or intake. Granted, I doubt I mod this one anywhere near the level of the 335i, I still wouldn't mind about 50 or so more HP/TQ to the wheels. Some exhaust sound would be nice too... you can hear the engine has a nice sound, just needs straight pipes to let it out! Seriously, I think a K&N filter (or similar) with a nice axle-back for sound and a solid tune is really all I would need with this vehicle.
Can't wait to take the journey. Remember, friends don't let friends drive STOCK
