you wont find any that give max power and better MPG...if anyone claims that at the same time they are just trying to sell you something..

the SCT is the site favorite here for good reason, mike at 5-star is a standup guy selling a great unit..

my suggestion is to contact him and get his feedback about what a SCT tuner will do for your truck. he wont feed you anything except facts.

I'm most interested in MPG gains. What have people seen with programmers on a precentage basis?

From my research, you will not find any tuners with significant MPG gains. Maybe one or two(extreme). But with the right tuner, your truck may become a different animal.

0% for me. Peformance and other aspects were greatly improved. I run peformance and tow tunes only. If your after better mpg get an F-150 with the 6 speed trans. I have experience with both Diabolsport and SCT with canned tunes. The Diablosport's tunes were worthless and couldn't be used in the V10 it was on.(Big time detonation) The SCT canned tunes are far better however they still can't hold a candle to a good custom tune from a good shop. One of those good shops IMO is 5 Star.
