I have an "04 F-250 4x4 with the 5.4L gasoline engine and 21k miles. I'm looking for a recommendation of a Tuner to give me the most bang for the $$. I rarely tow with the truck and don't off-road. It's purely for highway use and hopefully some better gas mileage now that I am running oversized tires. The following mods have been done: 6.5" Pro Comp lift with dual MX6-Reservoir shocks, 37x13.5x17 Pro Comp XTerrain tires on 17x10 Diamo wheels, custom mandrel bent 2.75" Y-pipes, Gibson performance headers and full 3" Cat-back exhaust. Air Raid throttle body spacer, K&N air intake, and lots of audio & cosmetic goodies.

Some of the chats warn against the use of particular tuners. I would like to hear recommendations on which to buy and what to expect in terms of performance gains actually achieved by folks.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael. Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!

You'll get more help with your question up in the Superduty forum, so I'll move it up there.

My uncle uses a SCMT in his 5.4 powered F-250, seems to like it.
