Chip for a 460??
well to start off i better introduce myself, names travis.. from here in canada.. just recently baught myself a ford in the signature.. after messing with chevys for a while.. no complaints with the new wheels.. and already starting to do mods to it.. my question is i got the big block 460.. runs awsome.. has *****! but i as usual i want more power.. but after lookin a bit at some post's.. not much on these motors? or i didnt look hard enough.. just curois if anyone know's of chips or programmers for my motor and experiences with each. I have a HPP3 in my car.. claims a 20 hp gain.. but personaly i don't think it had gains that big.. if any.

Sorry, don't know if you've seen any of my notices about this but I'm right in the middle of moving both my home and the business to new locations so my time is short. Please be patient with replies, I have to sleep sometime!

We can program any Ford. If you click on the Frequently Asked Questions link on that page it has a note about that. 
Its all dependant on the PCM code (Ford has thousands of them). The 1, 2 and 3 stage chips work for it. Look on the computer box and tell me the 4 digit code (it will be 3 letters followed by 1 number) and I'll see if its in the database.
