SCT Custom tunes

Hi,
I just made the switch from a diesel to a gas truck. I had a 2006 F250 PSD which was heavily modified. I just traded that truck in for a 2008 F250. I still have my SCT X3 that I was using on my diesel and I am looking for some custom tunes to load up on it. I had a very good custom tune writer for my diesel, and because I am new to gas trucks, I'm coming to you guys for advice. I tried loading up some of the canned tunes, but because the truck is a 2008, it doesn't have support for its strat.

Thanks again!

I did the same tippann87, I traded in my 1993 F-250 7.3L diesel 4x4 (no power stroke) ex-cab for an 08' gas 5.4L F-150, and love it much. I can actually get a u-turn performed with the shorter wheel base. With the F-250 I needed 40 acres to whip her around. Out-board shocks are quite a nice improvement by Ford.
