Performance Question

Sorry if this has already been discussed to death. I have a '04 F150 5.4 FX4 and want to improve the performance in both the motor and transmission shift response and points. Performance is good, but hesitation on transmission shifts. What can you recommend that will be easy and no hassle?

Get a programmer. An Edge Evo or whatever your wallet prefers. You will be able to adjust shift points and get some more performance out of the motor.

i have an evo edge and i love it not only cuz of the pep in the step but you get tons of info out of it like average MPG oil temp trans temp etc. and 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times.

you might be able to get more bang out of another tuner but i like the extras that come with the evo.

I would go with SCT X3 from Mike from 5 star tuning. Get the custom tunes and you wont regret it. My last tank of gas I got 18 mpg no joke on perfromance mode and I was on the gas alot. I got 91 performance 91 tow and 87 economy. Economy is good but I have been getting better mileage with 91 performance. You can adjust your shift points and stuff to with it.
