I've done a lot of talking and research, and with what I've found, the same tune I used on my 5.0, will do wonders for this little engine as well.
Also, something totally different for me, I'm not lifting it, and going no taller than 33" tires on it, those are BFG KO2's on the '12, 34.4" tall, and the stock 32" on the '17. That alone will help with launching, right along with the 10 speed trans. In fact, if I don't run out of time, I might remove the rear block today. Also looking at either Borla, or Ford Performance, SI/DO, with black duals under the bumper. I have to be careful here, I know the sound is going to be different, but the last thing I want is the "fart can" sound. I would like to hear the turbos as well.
