Programer/chip

I have a 2006 f250 with a 5.4. New exhaust and air intake. Im looking to get more power out of my truck and I don't know if I should go with a chip or programer, and it would be nice to hear what people have in their trucks and what you guys think of them. Thanks guys.

honestly, the "chips" are old stuff


the "programmers" are much easier to use, and easier to updates tunes with








yes, you will experience some gains with the tune, BUT the hot air intake and unknown exahust mods might negate the possible gains from a tune




if you decide to go with a tune, strongly consider a SCT device (XCal3 or Live Wire being the most popular) as there are more shops using them

and fivestartuning or vmp use them and they are the only two reputable shops I know of that are willing to tune a n/a F-150 via email...
