I did purchase a Jet plugin chip, I planed to install both at the same time to see how much gain of anything, I would get, gas mileage or power.

Uh you need to do some research. If you want proven power get an SCT with custom tunes or an Edge tuner.

Only thing to gain from a Jet chip is a lighter wallet.

Not sure what tick you're talking about, but the idle sound with the intake has a little more depth to it then without the intake.

I have the wix airfilter in oem box, and data logging it sucks in ambient air temps, so does that qualify as a "cold air intake" lol

I am listening to all the guys, I purchased the chip about two weeks ago. The thing is I wanted to go with 37 inch tires and try to get some power back. I have a 24ft. pontoon boat I need to tow in the summer. I know I can change the gearing, but that a lot of $$$$'s. This is my first F150 and I'm just trying to get the best out of it for a minimal amount of money, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get what I want without spending a whole lot of money.
Believe me I appreciate everyone's input.

I spent $125 on a used Edge Evolution......plugged it in to my truck before I paid to make sure is was unlocked. Then I upgraded it to a Gryphon. There are always deals for them used on this forum. Oh and I also have a 28' Pontoon and a 31' TT. They pull with ease.

The very first upgrade I did to my 07' was put in a Roush CAI. It gave my truck a deeper tone, especially under accelleration. I also have a dual catback exhaust that kinda overpowered the CAI sound. And on the subject of the tuner, I have the edge evolution cts 2. It's pretty awesome. I run it on "Extreme" and I really notice the difference. I also am averaging 21 mpg right now and I just went on a short road trip with it over the weekend. Well worth the money and all accounts.
