Superchips on 5.4L? worth it?
Looking to get a Superchips for my 01 SD CC 4x4 5.4L. Is it worth it? any real gains for power and mpg? primarily looking for mpg gain with some additional power for occasional HD towing, especially WITHOUT stepping up to premium gas!
thanks for any info!

Summit Racing sells several tuners for the F250 5.4L but why would you buy a "canned" tuner (plus shipping charges) when you can buy a SCT X3 or Livewire with custom tunes that you select? Mike at 5 Star Tuning is running a special this month with free shipping...

I purchased my Livewire three weeks ago and was extremely happy with the service and delivery of the product!

I've ran a Superchips on my old Z71 Chevy and will never ever buy another product from them. They are very "generic" tune and really don't have near the benefits of a good custom tune.
I really like my SCT X3 programmer from 5-star. Excellent customer service and Mike is very good to deal with.

i run the superchips on mine and like it alot. sure it wouldn't be my first pick if i was buying new, but i got it used for next to nothing. i run the performance tune, and it has worked real well with mid-grade gas for me. as said there is definitely a small hp gain; i put it back to stock once this summer and haaated driving it that way. but the trans characteristics are definitely much better.

A tuner will make a difference even on 87, mainly in the trans. Don't expect much if any mpg improvement, especially on 87.
For the $$$ the SCT Xcal or the Diablosport Predator are the best bang for the buck with the most adjustability. I prefer SCT over Diablosport but thats my personal preference, I've used and compared both. I feel that SCT offers the best canned tune out there. www.5startuning.com runs specials on tuners and they are a sponsor.
