With what you're looking at, while it's maybe cheaper, whatever it does ...
... that's pretty much what you are stuck with.

However, whether you go with a "canned" tuner like Superchips (that's the company name, it's not a chip) or another's ...
... or one of the several referenced "custom" tuners with their tunes ...
... either way you'll have the ability to choose between several tunes according to usage planned or fuel choice or back to stock even.

Either SCT or Edge is what you are going to want. Both are good, but the Edge CS and CTS can display lots of real-time info like different temperatures, RPM, instant MPG, MAF, etc, etc. SCT makes one as well, but I believe it is a little more expensive. In my opinion, EDGE is much better if you want that screen. If not, then honestly either is good. I have an Edge so I can vouch for them, but others have SCT which they love as well.

Call Mike at 5Startuning.com. Best bang for the buck is an SCT XCAL3 with custom tunes. You can also PM him at fordmdb.

If you want the real-time display unit, then Gryphon CS with custom tunes from Power Hungry Performance is your best bang for the buck.

If money is no object, SCT LiveWire with custom tunes from 5Startuning.com
