Best for the MONEY is the gotts mod-search it or look in the "mods" section. It may not look as cool as the high dollar versions, but is IS the best for the money.

I agree with 60DRB. Unless you are planning on installing performance modifications to the ignition, fuel delivery and exhaust systems on your truck I would go with the gotts.

+1 -- I vote for the Gotts/DWV mod + K&N drop-in filter. It will help with throttle response and give the engine a little more aggressive sound. That's what I did on my '08 5.4 and I'm happy with it. I just don't think spending $300 for an intake system that gives you 10 hp is worth it. What is 10 horsepower when I already have 310?

No intake will give you 10 hp. Not even Gotts. Most intakes pull in hotter air then Gotts or Stock, making your performance **** when its hot and great when its cold.

Yeah the gotts mod is easy. Check out the how-to section or just search that word. IT'S SO EASY!

The only reason It took me a while to do the gotts on mine, was because I used a hand rasp. Some kind of sander would have been a lot faster.

From what I read, at least some programmers are set to the individual vehicle. Contact the manufacturer of the one you are interested in to find out. I'm waiting for PHP's next sale to get a Gryphon, myself.

That will pretty much finish power gains, this side of a SC.
