best programmer for 05 f150?
i have an 05 f150 lariat. ive been looking for a good programmer to get the most out of my truck as far as fuel economy but also im 20 and have a lead foot every once and a while so id like to have alot of power.
i live in fort irwin ca so i have to commute pretty far. theres alot of wide open roads out here (hence lead foot). i dont tow too much but when i do i obviously want my truck to perform well. doing some research i looked at edge, gryphon, and sct seem to be very popular. also i put 87 octane in my truck. what do yall think is the best for me?

The gryphon is a form of the edge. Customizable
I have also seen others pleased with the SCT but can't comment since I haven't used one.
Basically any of them will work well but again I like the monitoring functionality of the edge. No fuel mileage gain for me because I enjoy the power. Definitely helps when towing.
Good luck on your decision.

First, thank you for serving. What's your MOS?
Bad news next... A tuner of your choice is unlikely to improve your trucks gas mileage (regardless of any advertising claims). What it will do is improve throttle response and transmission shifting. Then you will more enjoy the "lead foot" syndrome, and further reduce mpg! Watch out for coyotes and desert tortoises...

I enjoy my php gryphon (edge evolution) with custom tunes. I leave it in #3 all the time and thats where I see my mileage gains. 13.5 pre tune with alot of stopping and goin 15.3 after tune. 17.6 pre tune on the highway driving extremely cautious and 20.2 after tune all hand calculated. Im also running intake and cat back straight pipe (mileage with and without tune had same mods) however it is very hard too keep your foot out of it lol

That's where my custom tunes came from as well.

Is superchips a generic programmer or is each programmer programmed to specific truck? Your friends with 150s, are these trucks basically stock or like me have aftermarket larger gears, wheels, diff, etc. Generic programmers are not tuned to handle my truck.
