Which programmer to use?

I've got about 12k miles on my '11 FX4 S'crew and lovin' it, but looking for a bit more power & better economy. I've already installed a K&N drop in filter & a Magnaflow muffler, but really haven't affected much. Any advise would be appreciated.

5.0L or ecoboost?

5.0L --> Mike at 5Star Tuning (pm fordmdb) or 5startuning.com

Ecoboost---> Diablo and BullyDog both have programmers, but I personally wouldn't recommend either one, especially not the BullyCrap.

I have 5.4L with an Edge programmer. Can't say I get better MPGs (maybe 1/2 to 1 mile) but it does smooth out the transmission a bunch. Chris

The truck is a 5.0, I've used Edge in the past with good results, but didn't know if that 'd be my best bet for the new truck.

Does Edge even have a programmer for the 5.0L?
