And got told as of last week Fords release new software for the stockECU in the Xr6T Ba.Cut to the chase, basically I got told theres no need for a piggy back system or capa flasher cos now they can unlockthe boost, tuning etc via this new software.Is this true or what?

He told me it software release from Ford last week, is this Flash tuner or Edit from Ford or is he totally off his mark?2. Wat does a Capa Tuner have over a Flash tuner or is it the same thing?

There is also Sniper getting around now which does the same thing but without the need to buy a "flash box" or whatever you want to call it.Regardless of what it is though, I'd bet my left nut it wasn't "released from Ford".
