Performance chip?
Hey, Im new in here and I am not a gear head so hope you guys can help me out. I just got a 2007 F150 5.4 V8 and I wanted to get a performance chip that is NOT super expensive that will help out on horsepower and MPG! So if someone could recommend something I would appreciate it!

Your best chance to increase your MPG (without an actual dyno tune) is e-mail or internet custom tunes. Even with the best dyno (or custom e-mail tunes), it's a 50-50 proposition.
I recommend you contact any of the following companies:
Programming Devices>>Company Info Links
SCT>>5 Star Tuning | Custom Dynomemeter Chassis Tuning Products and Services (FORUM SPONSOR)
SCT>>VMP Tuning Inc
Gryphon/SCT>>Power Hungry Performance - Feed your hunger for POWER!
SCT>>Troyer Performance (long lead times on custom tunes)
Depending on which features you want, expect to pay $450-650.
The benefits (driveability, shifting, performance) far outweigh the potential MPG gains.
In other words, do not purchase expecting to pay for the programmer. In fact, installing mods for MPG is usually a bad move.
