Not really.... For the last 13 yrs or more thats what i did, I had a lawn and landscape buisness if Fl. A mini mag would be good and a sugar maple is a good choice too. In Fl we had sugar figs which is in the same family, Small root system and grew tall however your gonna have to top them every few years after they reach 30 feet or so.
BTW your not a man till ya can sew..........Don't ask.

Mike,
I got a superchip tuner question for ya.
for the last 2 years Ive been averaging 11.3-11.5 mpg with my 04 F250 V10 and 35" tires using premium gas and a Superchip custom tuner with a tow/haul program. The other day I uninstalled the programmer and started back using regular gas and for the past 2 tanks Ive averaged 13.2mpg.
my driving hasnt changed from week to week. Have you ever heard of this?

Good choice, Not a real fast grower, Big leaves=easy cleanup in winter. When you go looking for the mini mags if your budget allows get one at least 6' to 8' tall. Also when you plant it build a little berm around the trunk preferably out as far as the root ball is then go just a little bit more.

Slow I've been working around here too much lately trying to get the shop addition ready and doing some more clearing. I'm gonna try and order the gas tank and brake booster setup next week if time allows.

This is a SCT. I got it from AVT performance in Conway.
Thinking back Ive had it for 3 years and not 2. When I bought it I still had factory tires and was getting right around 14.8-15mpg with the tuner(13 mpg without). Then I put some 35s on my truck and gas mileage dropped to around 11.2-11.5 and has never varied for 3 years. I was expecting the drop. Then when I uninstall it I go back to getting 13 mpg. I thought that was odd too.
Ill run this tank and one more without the tuner on reg gas then reinstall and run 2 or 3 tanks through it. Ill let you know what I come up with.

My dad has the 5.4 in a 05 250 (and no offense) but that thing is a dog compared to mine. Hes getting like 14mpg with factory 255 or 265s. Im not sure which. Well worth the $600 upgrade.
Mike,
The box it came is says "SCT Xcalibrator" or something very similar. The guy I bought it from hooked the box up to his laptop and downloaded the same program for towing from a 04 V10 he recently dyno'd.
on my box I cant adjust any parameters. Its more or less on/off. All the tweekin' was all done off his laptop. Top speed limiter is set at 249 but Ive yet to hit it. Maybe I need a slightly longer road.
