Best tuner 5.4L w/ CAI
Hey guys I just ordered an Airaid CAI to work in conjunction with the ram air hood that I will be installing on my 2009 5.4L FX4 this Friday. I wanted to get you guy's input on what the "best" tuner options are. I know a lot of people run Edge but I also hear that SCT 5 Star tuners are just as good. I am currently considering the Edge CTS Evolution Programmer or the SCT SF3 Power Flash Programmer, between the two manufacturers. If anyone has any other suggestions, can give me the pros and cons of the two listed above, or even a straight comparison that would be great because I know nothing about these things. I don't want to "impulse" buy the wrong thing and not be 100% satisfied or regretful that I didn't get one of the other choices. Granted the prices are significantly different, that is not a factor in my choice, I want THE BEST!

U know what my answer is. The sct x3 from 5 star. I've heard good things too from the edge programmers, not sure who does custom tunes for them though. Good pick on the airaid cai.

Nice! Glad I went with Airaid as opposed to my other options, plus I wanted something that would work with my ram air...

In my personal experience php tunes are better for a daily driving tune. 5 star performance tune to me is not great for mpgs or driveability compared to php tunes. I've had both. With 5 star tunes I have experienced droning and gear searching when not wot. At wot its fantastic though.
