Custom tuner for 5.4?
Just looking for a tuner for my 00 F250 with the 5.4L gasser, wondering what kind of custom tuners are available for it. I've done business with Wester's Garage when I had my 96 Chevy 1/2 ton and had excellent results with it. Just wondering who specializes in late model Fords. Thanks.

I currently get 12 1/2 - 13 mpg around town with 4.10 gears 4X4 and 15 - 16 highway and that is with 35 in. tires. Don't know what it would get without the programmed settings.
I'll do some more research and see what I can find.

I'm hearing good things about the Edge Evolution. Haven't gotten one yet but hope to when the tax refund comes in.

I run 87 Tow and 87 Performance often and my truck runs GREAT! People really dog on the 5.4l but mine has plenty of power...

I got my XCAL2 from Troyer performance and would reccomend them to everyone. Really pleased with performance when I'm towing cattle trailer on my 93 towing tune. Everyday driving I run 87 oct tune and still runs good.

Your much better of going with an SCT or Diablosport over other brands like hypertech, superchips, edge and etc. The SCT and diablosport are much more verstile. They can accept custom tunes, datalog and can adjust more parameters than others mentioned.
Go on SCT or Diablosports site and find a dealer in your area. Getting a custom dyno tune is best.
