Microtuner & superchips
How much does the average microtuner or superchip actually do for your truck? I've been thinking about gettin one for mine but i dont know all that much about them. What kind of gains are about average and MPG gain/loss. Anyone have one on a 97 f150? Are they worth it?

I purchased one from Motorhaven, and I do not regret it one bit! The switch from stock to the premium tune is great. Not only does my truck run better, it pulls harder, shifts better, and I gained 1mpg on my 2004 5.4. My father had similar results, but he managed to wring 2mpg out of his V10. I give it two thumbs up.

You just have to plug the unit into the OBD port under your dash (or under your hood I think on some vehicles), and start pressing buttons. It takes all of 5 seconds to install it. The best price I found on the net was at our very own FTE store, www.motorhaven.com
