Default Carpetguy in North Carolina

Hey fellas and ladies.
43 yo Carpet Fabricator/Installer, originally from NYC, now here in the Carolinas for the last 8 years.
I just purchased a 2011 F-150 FX2 SuperCab with the Sport Package as my new work/family ride. I will hitch my 14' box trailer to it to haul my stuff.

Obvious interests, increasing gas Mileage. I have been on this site for about an hour and have seen many hints of a programmer but no hard info on where to get one or how it will help.

Familiar with the CAI and looking into the K&N because I have heard good things from friends who used them.

Does the programmer void any of the warranties? Any help in this area will be greatly appreciated!

Bob
