Default 96 5.0 tuning questions

I haven't been able to find much info on tuners for these trucks. My SCT for my mustang made a noticeable difference in power and fuel economy and I'm curious to see if my truck would benefit from a tuner as well. My truck is completely stock right now. I'd like to hear from the people running tuners on their trucks with OBD II and MAF.

You've got the only year OBDII in our body style, and because of that you won't find much for it.

An off the shelf tuner won't work, you need to get a custom tune for it.

I've seen a few places online that offer custom tunes specifically for the 96 5.0 with the purchase of an SCT Tuner so I was gonna go that route. I know the market is small for this particular item but I'm sure someone on here has a tuner on their truck

You can expect about 12- 15 rwhp and 18-22 feet of torque with a custom SCT tune for your 96. 5.0
