Before you order
What you need to tune your Ford F-150 5.0 / 3.5 EcoBoost
An HP Tuners interface. We recommend the MPVI4. You do the reading and the flashing yourself, on your own car — our step-by-step guide covers buying and setting it up.
HP Tuners credits for the Ford PCM. Reading, logging and editing are free; you only spend credits the first time you write a tune to the car. Check the exact number for your Ford F-150 5.0 / 3.5 EcoBoost on HP Tuners' supported-vehicle list before you buy.
A laptop with VCM Suite. HP Tuners' software is a free download once you have an account.
Your stock file and a datalog. The stock file is what we tune and your backup; the datalog shows us what your engine is actually doing, which is what makes the first file right.
