4.6 5star question

OK. first off I don`t have an F150 with a 4.6. I have a 97 Grand Marquis. I`m planning on a tuner from 5star. has anyone tuned their 4.6 and if so what tune did you go with? My Grand Marquis has dual exhaust w/Borla ATAK mufflers, and a cold air intake. it will have a 3.73 installed by me along with having the Jmod done by me. just wondering what people have thought about the 4.6 after the tune? power, economy, performance?


I have their 3 tunes for my V-10 X and they are excellent. now I want to wake up my Mercury!

I sold my SF3 to a guy with a 4.6L F150 and he was happy with the canned 91 tune so the 5* should be even better.
My brother got the 5* for his 4.6 and is happy with it.

Thanks good to hear. I just don't know if I want the 87 or 89? I'll have to ask mike how much of a HP difference there is between the 2!

Two close, I would get the 87 and 91 for some real difference.
