I appreciate your feedback/honesty.. As I continue to research the possibilities I haven't read anything that truly fact checks or signs off on what you're saying. Surely there has to be some benefits to any mod as long as you're being cautious and/or getting expert assistance. Of course I am no expert by any means, but that just seems illogical to me. I am however open minded and willing to read and educate myself if you have something for me.
As I understand it It boils down to piggy back versus flash and each have their pros and cons. Since I am a complete newbie I'm going with a safe easy way to increase the power on my 2.3 "ecoboost" aka daddy mobile. I bought and a K&N open air intake and looking to get a tune, custom mufflers that make it at least sound better. As mentioned I'm 40 with kids and unless I go valved I don't want too much drone, and of course an upgraded audio system bc this shit is pathetic to listen to.
So in short, please by all means I'm open for convo and willing to hear you out if you have a distinctive list on why its not beneficial. Sure the Maps are canned but for a newbie like me I it sounds like a great place to start.
After the several days/nights and long hours of reading this is the source i used for my decision.

Appreciate the feedback Unbroken..
I'm also still looking to get schooled on the map sensor locations for the harness if anyone is willing to share.
