The 3.7 vs the Turbo 3.5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSMOuCSP1zU Take a look at this video, when we are done with the tune for the standard 3.7NA explorer its really close to a NON-TUNED Ecoboost explorer. Its night an day difference. We have been tuning these for a couple years now. Very impressive- Livernois

You may be reading about the 1-2 no shift condition. There is a well known and documented 1st - 2nd gear no shift condition on some of the Xsport models mainly when under hard acceleration and traction control off. The vehicles can get to the top of 1st and get some wheel hop or wheel spin...- Livernois

Livernois motorsports first to tune 2013+ Ford Escape 2.0 EcoBoost
Our Mycal tuners do not have a display that monitors pids such as those you mentioned. IMO they are basically just for looks as we have found the gauges on the touch screen tuners are very inaccurate. Best way to monitor boost is to install an actual boost gauge instead of relying on the ECU...- Livernois

I appreciate the being more careful but I'm 6'3 and the position of the paddle in relation of my leg/hand :eek: while turning has caused me to hit it several times. I'm only offering it if someone wants it. Kind of a user preference. The 2010-2012 SHO had this feature off for this exact reason.- Livernois
