Default Programer or a Chip????

Hey guys I’m having a hard time figuring out which is better to get for my truck a computer programmer or a computer chip. What can ya’ll suggest would be better for my money. The only chip I’ve found for my truck is by Jet Performance and it cost’s about $250. I have a 2004 F150 4.6L STX Flair Side. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

If you want to throw your money away then buy the Jet chip.They are junk in my own opinion.Had one for my Stang and luckily was able to sell it to someone and bought a Diablosport Predator and recently bought a Diablosport for my HD F150 screw and it is amazing what these tuners can do....

Yes it's true. Note that it says UP TO. This means that you will probably see less than that and you won't see it at low RPMs.

Check my gallery for dyno sheets of the 09 with the Gryphon.

The dyno sheets are from Edge's facility in Utah. They were done with a Gryphon by Bill Cohron (PHP owner and president).

You can read more about them here. http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/2009-...o-results.html
