I get a cloud of black smoke when I stomp on the gas. If I do a second pull. it doesn't do it again. Bama said it was normal and my datalog looked fine, so they didn't need to send me a tune revision. I know everyone here hates on Bama but they have been ok with me, they got back to me and answered any of my questions quickly.
I am considering getting a tune from JPC soon, I'm curious to see if the car feels better with it.
I don't beat on my car all that much (maybe that's the problem lol). The car runs strong, idles and drives perfectly and gets 26mpg at 70. I burn about a quart of oil every 3k miles though, even though I have 20k on the car now. I'm switching away from Mobil One to Amsoil so i hope that will help out with the consumption.

It's called an Italian tuneup.

Mine has been an oil burner from day one...it was actually worse when I first got it. There's a million threads on oil consumption.....I questioned it at the dealer and Ford said it's normal LOL

Been thinking of trading it for a 14 anyway.....
