2004 - 2008 F 150 FX4 performance
Hi All, Congratulations for the site. very interesting and helpfull...
Ok, I just bough a 2006 F 150 FX4 with 25k miles on it and it rund great. (it's the half ton reg. cab) although I feel the engine strong. the car isn't fast... I dont know where to start to modify it, maybe the programmer?, the gears?, the differential?... I want to make it give all what it's cappable of without making it a race or comp car (I dont want to put in any lift kits or NOS or supercharger and big stuff like that...)
Speak Up guys!
Regards.
Luis B.

Start with the basics, do a cold air kit (I Like K&N and green filters), Exhaust (as much as your budget allows, ie cat-back and headers), and lastly a tuner. For tuners, I love my sniper special forces, but I have also had good luck with Superchips and Edge.
Once you have those out of the way, then you can do some fun stuff like gears, torque converter, cams, ect.

OK were to begin. My truck is stock and I loaded level 2 last night had a few beers so didn't get to try it. I made it to work in record time. I can't believe this Gryphon programmer. I can't wait for my custom tunes to come in. I have to say this takes 2nd place to my Line-X only because I use my truck as a truck and didn't want to muck up the bed. The power and the performance that the Gryphon gave to my truck is what I thought I had when I bought her. I am just waiting for Johnny law to come and pull me over for speeding. The gauges alone are amazing. You can see everything that is going on with your truck. I did alot of research about tuners before I bought my Gryphon at Power Hungry Performance - Welcome to the site that is setting the standard for custom Ford tuning! and I am so glad I did. The product works as advertised and is totally customizable by ASEMECHANIC the Gryphon GURU. If you use your truck as a truck then get the Line-X first then get the Gryphon. No way you can go wrong with Bill's custom tunes and the Gryphon. The custom tunes come with the cost of the Gryphon if you act fast. Congrats again and good luck, sorry for ranting

Awesome!, Congrats for the gryphon. I'm thinking in gettin' one of those... I haven't put any programmer before, and I usea my truck in the city most of the time... Only once in a while I take her out to the beach and the dunes. The truck runs good on sand but I felt it a little short not in power ('cause you can hear the triton screaming loud when you go full throttle), but the speedometer doesn't go as fast as the revs do though, so The first thing I thought of was the Programmer, high-flow air filter and maybe some exhaust... I just didn't have enough info on what's out there about programmers... That Gryphon sounds great!
C'mon people, speak out!
Thanks for your coments Joe,

I think a tuner is your best place to start. I had my gears done in my former F150 and had some gear whine. I know another guy did also. I think the hard thing about gears would be finding a shop that can do it right and that will stand behind their work. Start with a tuner and don't worry about the gears.

I just received my custom tunes from Bill at PHP yesterday and Holy Moly I am LOVING my 87 Performance tune. I lit up the reaers pulling out of my drive way this morning without even attempting to. (Wife called me 2 minutes later and chewed my ear off, Oh well it was accident) The performance is truly amazing. I have yet to try others but I would by shocked if they were not quality like the performance tune. After a tank full of smiles I will switch over to the 87 Economy Tune and see how my mileage compares. Thank you once again Bill and Cory for an outstanding product, service and professionalism. I will continue to recommend you to all Ford lovin truckers out here in California !!
