Are you sure the 2017 pcm is encrypted? I heard that Ford wasn't going to start encrypting until the 2018 model year.

What are they claiming? 477whp on the files they sent you.
Just my hunch... if those numbers are accurate I can't imagine you'd have any trouble noticing. That's a head snapping difference. It wouldn't be a subtle increase considering the stock WHP is around 370.
I'm very interested in a tune as well from them.
I made 353/397rw hp/tq on a local dynacom. That specific dyno does read lower than most dynojets ive been on, but on par with the more common 365/422rw other sources have made. I will be on that same machine later this week with the 93oct tune. If we see significantly larger numbers, I may put back to stock to see if there in fact was a factory de-tune during early miles (>3000), but unlikely.
As for the 93tune, power seems to keep increase with each WOT blast as it adapts. Been eyeballing IATs on nGuage, and got a nice data log after half a dozen heatsoaked 1/8mi+ hits. Surprisingly, the factory intercooler is doing a good job.

All good info! Looks like they are not pushing the boost.

How else are they gonna get close to 100 more hp at the wheels without some more boost?

Lots of timing. Lean out the fuel mixture a bit. I assume it runs a bit rich from the factory.

If you can get there by doing those that would imply there is more with the addition of boost. Time will tell and all was good info!

For that kinda hp claim timing won't do it. Lean is not always mean too. More timing= more fuel.

Ford Performance? Would this imply that they put their stamp of approval on it, and that there would not be a chance of denying warranty work if something cratered?
