Default Tuner/Programmer

Looking at buying a programmer for my 04 F150 5.4, just curious what y'all think are some of the best ones out there, or what would be the best one to buy for my truck. Im looking to get a little better gas mileage, but at the same time some more power. Thanks

I have heard that hypertech is better than edge, but then again that's me just hearing something not actually seeing the gains from each

Some people have had success with the Hypertech but far as tuners go, it's generally not considered one of the better brand tuners like Edge or SCT.

They are all good as far as Evo, CS, and CTS

The last to are color screen and color touch screen. The first is the cheapest. You can customize the back grounds of the color ones, and just background color of the evo.

Believe it or not on the website the Dino results for the 04-08 years showed slightly higher gains on the Evo. I dunno if this is typo or what.
