If you call them they have a stage 2 for the Super Duty.

The Tricumulator setup is great, can easly be done in under a hour, you will get much firmer\quicker shifts, makes tranny last a lot longer! I made my own setup, read the post abover yours, it's (modded my tranny)

Don't get the firm valve, I got the hard valve and it could be a little harder.
