Default Which performance tuner is prefered for F150????

I have an 2008 Harley edition,AWD,N/A 5.4L. It has true dual exhaust with Flowmaster Super 40 mufflers and a Airaid CAI as only Mods. I researched a lot when I purchased the tuner for my Stang.Most people preferred the Diablosport Predator and dyno tuners prefer it over any other brand for the Stang. I was leaning towards the Edge Evolution for the F150.What brand are you all using???? and have you had any issues while using the tuner you have chosen.I have had no issues with the Diablosport on the Stang. But it sits in the Garage more than anything.I have maybe put 4,000 miles on the car since the tune.The truck is driven daily by the Wife and I don't need a call at work with her saying the CEL is on and the truck won't run..Just looking for opinions and experiences...Thanks Name:  Mosi Roundup 005.jpg

Based on your mods and all my research, I would recommend the Gryphon with custom tunes. The Edge CS/CTS is supposed to be released in January and PHP will be writing custom tunes for it too.

Is the new Edge the CT & CTS?? I was looking at them online and do not see any real difference other than the display and prices.The performance looks to be the same..

For 09-10 owners: The CS/CTS for 2009 Ford 5.4s haven't been released yet, but PHP has hinted that both will offer more tuning parameters. Not sure how this will translate into performance gains.

Redneck - I don't know if there will be additional gains with a CS/CTS and a custom tune from PHP. They are on vacation this week, but post a question on their board.

If you're interested, according to PHP Speed Channel's Truck U will 'debut' the new CS/CTS on Wednesday, December 30th at 3:30 EST.

SCT is much more common on stangs than diablosport. I've been tuning stangs for years and diablosport is quickly losing market share. It's a great tuner, it just doesn't have as many adjustable parameters as the SCT. I like to work with what I'm familiar with, so I'll probably be using an SCT once I get my '04-'08 F150, but I am impressed so far with what I've seen from the Edge.
