But as we all know, some are all about horsepower and torque no matter the consequences.

Just a question, not trying to start anything.

They are the exact same programmer; they just use different tunes.

I actually asked SCT that question, here's their response:

******************************
All you need to do is return the F150 to stock, then get tunes built for the 6.0. once they are built you load them to your tuner and then to the truck. To get the computer code needed to tune the truck, go to Vehicle Info and then Vehicle Info again. You'll see the strategy number you need there.

Subject: My X3

I have a SCT X3 Ford [X3101107011AC] that was programmed with custom tunes for my 2003 F-150 by an after market company. Now I have a 2006 F-250 6.0 diesel. Can I get tunes for this vehicle and use the X3 I have now? I seem to remember a computer code was required by the company that programmed it. What are my options?

I agree. I didn't want to do more damage in the long run so I just went ahead and did arps, been great ever since.

unless he already has them done, id say go for it.

The thinking has been to improve the engines ability to tolerate those increases first, before spending the money on the performance toys.

Also, guys who have to go deep into the engine for certain maintenance and repairs choose to take advantage of the situation and swap the studs while they have the chance.

elite also sells head studs, they are a little more pricey though... riff raff sells both arp's and elite studs (give clay a call)

Another vote for the SCT as well, but H&S and The Spartan Phalanx are also very good choices as they can have custom tunes as well (even an EDGE can be custom tuned (by php)) so My vote is for anything with custom tunes

We will probably have a sale soon on ARP studs as well.
