Programmers

I have a stock 2000 Ford Expedition with a factory tow package and a 4.6 triton engine that I use for pleasure and occasional camper towing.

I tow around 4500 pounds.

I have installed a K&N air filiter and I want to look into a programmer. I am interested the best bang for my buck and so I have been looking at several name brand programmers.

Can any of you share your experiences and let us know if you are happy or unhappy with your programmer choice.

Thanks
James

From: Enjoying the real world.
Diablo doesn't make one for your application. Granetelli dealers have been listing a part number since May but it doesn't exist. The Superchips has the advantage of having a diagnostic code reader and it tunes at all throttle positions. Hypertech tunes at wide open throttle only. Buy it for performance, its not designed for economy, any mileage gain is offset by the fact that you must run it in premium fuel mode to gain any real horsepower.
