I would go with the idrive($200), exhaust ($600, mbrp dual rear exit), then tuner($600, Livernois). Idrive will make it feel a lot faster, the exhaust will sound and look better than stock. Then if you're still craving power get the tune.
I agree. I drive about 60 mph on the freeway in the slow lane. I'm in everyone's way, all the time. I was getting around 25.5 mph (428 miles per tank) but that was before tires. Now I am getting 24.4 (398ish miles per tank) and I don't know how fast I'm going. Lol. I do like the way the truck accelerates on 91 octane. I prefer premium, especially in the hottest part of the summer. In the cooler months, 87 is just fine.A tune will defiantly help with the low end bog. Drop it in S mode and a tune will wake it up even more than that.
As far as the tire pressure just remember that also having less contact on the road will hurt you if/when you need to stop fast. Also more chances of hydroplaning with less rubber on the ground but that's not much of an issue here as we get about 9" of rain per year. If you like the stiffer ride and realize the downside then I'd keep them where you feel they're the most comfortable. Maybe after you tune it you can play around with the psi and adjust from there.
Ok maybe not a exactly a Civic but very close to every single 4cyl with an aftermarket exhaust. Haha!You can do what you want to these motors in terms of exhaust , unless you add a Fart can, there is no way you can make it sound like a Civic ...

We know and it was a great joke. You got positive traction on that joke from everyone and that is hard to do. Without that joke, we wouldn't have been blessed with the words: Fart Can. I've been walking around for the last day saying fart can in my head and giggling. I can't wait to go back to work and use it in the right moment. Happy Memorial day.
It’s crazy now but was insane about 10 years ago ish. I remember a filling up my 2007 Expedition EL with its 33.5 gallon tank. Felt like they were gonna ask if I wanted to finance it.
I remember that too. I had my F150 and the pumps would stop at $90-$100. So when gas was over $4.00/gal and I was really low I would have to do two transactions.
I missed that part about the Ford Tune (87 vs 89). That is a deal breaker for me. I like options. I also like it when people say, "I did this. It was good. I recommend it."
I have looked at the page and was leaning towards Livernois. I don't really want a pedal commander and a tune. I think that one of the 5 tunes above will remove the sluggish start I don't like. I was hoping to get a skip-shift removal option for "D". I also want to be able to make the adjustment for tire size.
Another one that will give you a custom tune is Unleashed. He has a variety of different tunes and can tweak yours to what you need.
I changed occupation. Thanks for all the info.Another one that will give you a custom tune is Unleashed. He has a variety of different tunes and can tweak yours to what you need.
With the Livernois Mycal you will be able to adjust for tire size. I've been running the 91-93 performance tune since August and really like it. You can see by my Fuelly sig I'm averaging 21.9 mpg which is about 65% city and 35% highway and a few WOT.
BTW I like your new occupation.
