thinking about a chip

Just wondering if anyone has a chip or programmer for the 2002 Ford f-250? I have one with a 5.4 and want more power and better mileage. If you have any input or which ones are good or bad let me know THANKS

Superchips, Diablo, or SCT are the ones to go with. Being a gasser, dont expect mind blowing results. I had a superchips tuner for my V10 and really liked it. The engine seemd to have more throttle response and what really made all the difference in the world was the tranny tuning. It just made the truck much more drivable. Not the rip the tires off results as diesel guy get but a nice gain. To me, spending $3-400 for a tuner is the best bang for the buck. Don waste money on exhaust, intakes, throttle bodies, or anything else.

Tuners and gears are the best things you can do.

I have an xcal 2 from Troyer Performance (they are a sponsor) with 3 custom tunes and am very happy with it . It really seems to have found a little more from the 5.4.
