PRNDL yes it was just the superchips with the k&n cold air intake tune. cost me an extra $8 and you can download the tune after you buy and install the superchips tuner on your truck. Just plug the superchips tuner into your comptuer after you install the tune on your truck and the option to buy cold intake tunes will appear. make sure to have the intake already in before you retune for it though.

Show me a vid.

What gears? What engine? 2 or 4wd? Cab/bed configuration?

There is no way you laid 40ft of rubber, not touching the brakes, on dry pavement, with only a supercrap tuner, exhaust, and a cai

well first off i said no stupid intake crap. you didnt lay down 40 feet of rubber from a intake. and i wouldnt have posted this to know you guys think you have enough power. these truck deff have enough power but im the type of guy that always wants more, i know im gonna have someone say you dont need that in a truck but i don't really care its what i want in MY truck.. i was vagely thinking about cams or maybe headers and i know a tuner is down the road. id like to supercharge it but thats alot of dough

Cams are usually one of the last upgrades cuz they don't make a lot of power by themselves, but help make power when added onto everything else.

Long tube headers will definitely give you some more low end torque, also be able to help support more power from future upgrades.

I would order a Gryphon or get a 5 Star tune first and go from there.

Default Mods!

I own a 2010 SCSB with the 5.4 and 3.55 rear. It has a custom exhaust with a weld in flowpro muffler and a Gryphon CS tuner from Power Hungry Performance. http://gopowerhungry.com/

The performance difference is night and day. Throttle response is instant and the transmission shifts so much better plus the best feature of all is I average almost 20 MPG hand calculated.

You know Idk why ppl knock the 5.4 all the time but honestly i think its good torquey engine it responds well to boost(supercharger/turbo) and I've seen some videos on YouTube of these motors all done up (cams,heads,tuned,ect) and they seem to respond well.now im not saying its the perfect engine (spark plugs a pain and gas mpg's not so good) but its a good reliable engine that has a good torque curve for good towing.
