I doubt we'll be seeing the same sort of tune-only gains with this engine vs an Ecoboast. The purpose of Ecoboast is, supposedly, fuel economy. The purpose of this engine is performance -which is why it makes so much more power and torque from the factory. GM already gave it a fairly hot tune to begin with. There will still be gains to be made, but I wouldn't expect to see 500 hp from changing just a few 1s and 0s
