(Help) what is the best Programmer
I have a 2003 Ford F150 FX4 with the 4.6L motor. I added a Volant cold air intake system and a cat back gibson 3in stainless exhaust. I currently have a Super chip installed to. I want to replace the chip with a programmer what would be the best programmer to use?
1st. Super Chips Micro tuner
2nd. Hypertech 3 programmer
3rd. Evolution (Edge Products)
4th. Predator Tuner
And should i install a new thermostat for lower engine temps. Which tuner creates power faster as in low RPM's.
Thanks fellow Ford Clan for any advise on this subject.

I'd leave the stock t-stat in.
Going with a colder one is really hard on the motor as it forces the motor into a cold start mode, which supplys more fuel to the cylinder. Sure, you get more power, but you get much worse milage, higher cylinder wash, and poorer oil performance (never gets hot enough to burn off moisture and has higher fuel content), and degraded engine life (due to poor oil performance).
