is there a reason for the programer? not an expert i know there is not much to gain with a gasser....price vs. results...diesel is a different story

Since its a Ford and you want a PROGRAMMER only way I would go is SCT. They are a true programmer and not a chip. As the gentleman above said chips/programmers on gassers require the entire upgrade package to net results that are really noticeable.

i wouldnt even bother...its not a race truck....you cant tow that much.....so unless you just want it just to say your truck is faster than your buddies stock f150 i think its a waste of money....just my 2 cents

theres no real reason for the programmer, just wanted the extra horsepower, but yea i have heard that programmers dont do enough for gas motors, thats why i was posting, to see if anyone found a reason to put a tuner on stock truck or found a programmer that is worth the money?

Code reading, tire size, gear ratio, trans shift adjustments, a couple hp could'nt hurt either.
