Subject pretty much says it all..... does it still change the throttle and transmission mapping to make it more aggressive?

Amen to that. My question though, is it OK to drive around in Sport mode on a regular basis? I have the performance tune as well, and the truck drives sooo much better in sport mode since it's way more responsive. But is there a downside to driving like this (I know, probably lower gas mileage, but anything else?).

Yes lower gas mileage and speeding tickets.

Sport mode just gets better and more useable with the Ford Performance tune.
