I did a 5 Star Tune and CAI on my 2009 5.4. Helped a good bit with my big heavy *** Trail Grapplers! What is yours reading now?

I got a CS after installing new wheels and tires (33"). It reprogrammed the trans and compensated for the bigger wheels and made a huge difference in just overall drivability. Any power gains are probably masked by the bigger tires but it just feels better driving around now.

I also have a Corsa cat-back.

from what I've read, the stock airbox is more of a CAI than most aftermarket ones.

The last thing thing i would ever buy is another product from EDGE, it's a POS in my opinion.
won't hold RPM settings
can't change speed limiter
can't change shift points
can't change shift pressure
These and more were things it was supposed to do.But won't
unless you're truck is getting strapped to the rollers, you're "custom" tune
is another tune in a can.
Last time i checked these trucks are already C.A. equiped,throw a KN in there, same results with out the howling.

Mine changed the speed limiter, shift points, shift pressure and it holds rpms just fine.

SCT can adjust for larger tires and gears as well as custom tune your vehicle.
