I have the Diablosport Predator on my 2005 5.4L 3V and it has improved my performance. Lots of tunable perameters to play with. I now run premium fuel 100% of the time. Provides better results with an intake and an exhaust.

Also are very good reviews here for SCT XCal tuners.

I would think these two would be about the best, but for real gains, the truck needs to breathe better, so plan on an intake and a better exhaust to go with the tuner.
