I actually thought it was pretty good.

Me too I found the article helpful in making decisions

yeah but these articles point you to the products they want you to buy.

youll learn 1000 times more by browsing through this forum than you will an article based on a particular brand/ tuner. no offence to nizpro.

A suggestion for the loss of power after time, check the boost solenoid is lubed nicely? I read it's doable in FGs like the B series (WD40 into the solenoid, leave for 5 mins and put hose back on).

See if it helps? Shouldn't need doing too often though.

Fgs are alot more sensitively set-up than the BA BFs were, there is more mapping tables dedicated to reducing timing (power) all can be altered by flash tuning but they will pull back timing very fast in stock tune... a lower octane batch of fuel is enough for it to pull timing and keep it down, as its a slight boost spike on a cold night, or a good flog on a summers day raising eng oil temp.

I spose ford doesnt want any warranty issues, or less anyway, so have implemented so very serious ways to stock the car from working outside the stock settings, which is good in a way, as the old days of modding a stock car turned into broken motors ect, FGs just go limp mode or retard.

There's also some major timing changes for emmisions, so any changes to the cat will pull timing and reduce power, but on a standard car the cat shouldnt be an issue until its done a decent amount of kays.

These are all things we've found from tuning my g6et, and other customers FGs, but could be different with other cars, as there seems to be alot of differences between FGs, they rarely come out with the exact same results from the same mods ect, so takes a different approach to tuning them.
