Looks good, nice start to the endless list of things you need to spend money on (I mean things you need)

The list is indeed always endless. Haha

Im not to impressed with the ford performance calibration on my 2.7
It definitely shifts better but power difference is not noticeable to me. I only have maybe 30 miles on the tune in a week and a half though.

That's good to know. Though I do remember that when I did the tune on my 2019 Ranger, it took about 500 to 1,000 miles before I felt like it had sort of "figured everything out" and gave me the performance I was expecting, which makes sense since it's an adaptive tune that has to relearn a bunch if things post calibration. Hopefully, that'll be the case for the 2.7L as well.

Honestly, if it does nothing more than tighten up the throttle response, I’ll be happy, especially since I’m paying for most of it with Ford Reward Points. Right now, it feels like there’s a delay between when I put my foot down and when the engine even begins to build revs. It doesn’t really feel like turbo lag; it feels more like a delay programmed into the drive by wire throttle system, which I’m not a fan of.

Id say it helps with the feel you are mentioning for sure. Its a better driving experience at the least.

That's good to hear. At least the 2.7L Nano isn't an underpowered engine to begin with.
