My neighbor just put one on his badass F250, he said driving b4 was like he had his parking brake on. Huge difference, good product.

My neighbor spent a ton of $$$ on his truck and did tons of research before he put this on.

I'm getting this as well. The Commando Kit to be exact. I'll be upgrading to a turbo charger here and with my plethera of aftermarket stuff already, it was time to get rid of my Edge and into something different.

I would have gone w/ a Gryphon, but I want to be able to tune at the strip, not take notes and send off waiting/hoping its right this time. Also, PHP cannot do anything with Turbo's (Bill himself told me this). My next choice was an SCT since all the mustangs use it after they get a Turbo kit installed. But then I saw this Sniper Tuning, which alot of the Lightning guys used on the 99-04 models. This system reminds me of my friends $5k Motec programming (although for 5k he got the Motec and the programming). I found one on ebay, Commando kit, w/ 2 bullits (2 cars/trucks) for $550 Shipped! Soon as my Edge sells, i'm ordering up mine and tuning and will let everyone know what I think as well.

I've had sniper tuning for about 3 years now. I have the delta force, and commando software. I've had no issues out of it. I've been running it on my Turbo charged Escort ZX2 running 20 psi. car runs great. Its also really good, when you find someone with a dyno and that knows the software.

Yea. You have to return the original file back to the PCM. after that once the flash box sees the truck is back to original file. it should give you the bullet back. But I am having an issue with getting one of mine back. Called sniper and they told me to just send the programmer to them and they would clear it and add the bullet back.
