tuners..... advice needed

well first off, recently got a 03 f150 with the 5.4.... lookin to get a tuner but know very little about them..... what is a good one for my application..... i will prolly run 87octane most of the time unless i decide to run 93 for a week for a performance tune... but ive seen superchip tuners on a few sites for 280 with free shipping and then ive seen edges for 340-400 various places.... what are you guys running? am i better off stock?

I prefer the BamaChips custom tuner, it makes great gains on 87 octane, buts its easy to flash over to a high octane if you want to run one for a tank. You can get towing, race, performance, economy tunes, etc.

Check it out here, or ask me if you have any more questons!

Keep an eye on our site, we often have used tuners as well for a little cheaper, only difference is, someone else pushed the buttons first

An SCT dealer can sell you and X-cal2 with up to three programs: 87 fuel saver, 87 performance and 93 performance tunes. The X-cal also datalogs and displays real time engine data on a laptop. It can also scan, display and clear fault codes.

Right, i forgot to mention that BamaChips is an SCT Xcalibrator 2 tuner!

They are some of the most advanced devices on the market, and while they may not have all the doo-dads of the Edge, they are able to access many more areas of the PCM to make the best tuning!
