Power Programmer

I just bought a 2010 Ford F-250 and looking at adding a chip/power programmer to it. What does everyone recommend to improve performance and fuel economy? I like the edge and limewire STC. Just wondering what everyone thinks before I purchase one.

I have four words for you. Spartan Tuning DPF/Cat Delete. DPF & Cat count as one word.

Man if I were Spartan tuning I would be pumped... They have a lock on Ford Powerstroke tuning... very impressive.

I should also warn you, once you tune it... you will become addicted to the new found power. I can not be held responsible if you begin spending ridiculous amounts of money!

yes mostly money on tires and diesel due to your truck being on the floor all the time!!!! haha Im getting about 3mpg better with the spartan tuner. If you want the real big MPG gains you need to buy atleast the 275 tune.

I wasnt exactly clear on that. Im running the 250 tune and getting 3mpg better. ive heard of people using the 275 getting 19-21mpg on the highway.

The higher hp tunes tend to get better MPG's... that is if you can keep your foot out of it. Which most people, myself included cannot!
