I would prefer to go with a Tuner. Is there any thing a chip offers over a tuner?

Im gonna put a leveling kit on the truck, and put 35x12.5 on 20" rims. This is a daily driver. I wont be pulling any loads with it. Just looking to get a little extra power and fuel economy that I will loose with new tires.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

 

Call Mike at 5-star he sponsors the V10 section on this board!!
Also i would suggest to change out the stock y pipe and upgrade u can also get that from Mike at 5 star and as far as I know that should be the most u can do

I heard CAI's don't do too much for u but if u do I hear that volants are good

 

You will get the extra power and the throttle lag taken care of. The fuel economy and as a daily driver, if you haven't read much of the v10 section it might shock you. Economy and V10 really don't go hand in hand.

 

Check out the V10 forum here, you'll hear lots about Mike at 5-star. Money-back guarantee, and custom tunes which if there's anything you don't like Mike will change for you and email the updated tune to you.


The 3-valve V10 doesn't need the y-pipe modification the earlier 2-valvers do...

 

Wow money back guarantee huh thats whats up right there.

why do only the 2 valves need the Y pipe? and also whats a 3 valve and a 2 valve?

 

Ford switched to 3 valve per cylinder heads in both engines. The 05+ had much more power then previous 5.4's and 6.8's with 2 valves. Also in 05 ford redesigned the y pipe without the previous restrictions.

 

ok thanks!!!

 

I would say star with a SCT tuner from mike @ 5 star

sorry to hijack.. but i was looking at the y-pipes myself, are they only in aluminized steel??
