Don't see it in your post history, or any related profiles; care to mention or link to what you did, here or offthread? (I'm @shortstuffsushi everywhere) I also own a 2020 Ford and would be potentially interested in this.

Forscan (Ford and Mazda) is a software you could try, assuming you have a cable like that one[1]. The free version is be able to read, reset and run diagnostic but it cannot change the car configuration. The full version can change the car configuration but you can't buy licenses for because it come from Russia.

There are some boutique companies, and even some oems [2] that provide software to retune your engine but I have no experience, nor desire, to do that kind of tinkering.

I went through this company: https://www.livernoismotorsports.com/computer-and-tuning

I don't have the expertise to set up all the parameters on my own, but I'm very happy with the tune they provided.

They've reverse engineered everything for you already, and provide firmware that accepts adjustment, and something to install that firmware.

You can't do that with a generic OBD-II compliant tool and Ford's OEM firmware.
