tell me about performance chips

for ford f-250's. I see that you can spend 300-1500 or so. Is there really that big a difference in the lower end and upper end ones. I need some better fuel economy, not towing, or more power. I see bully dogs etc.

What is the story in picking one out?

Technically a tuner isn't going to get you much more than 1 mpg. If you saw 2 i would be really supprised. The tuners are usually more for performance enthusiats and usually wind up getting worse mileage because their getting into the pedal more.

I see you have a 08. The item of choice is the SCT tuner with custom tunes. Contact Mike @ 5 Star Tuning | Custom Dynomemeter Chassis Tuning Products and Services

These tuners will alow you to have a performance or economy tune. They cancel out the throttle lag on the Fly-by-wire as well as customize your tranny's shift patterns, change fuel delivery parameters etc..
