Hello Everyone,
I have just recently bought a 5.4L 3V V8 2007 F150. I am looking at buying some performance upgrades for my truck. I currently have The AFE Stage 2 SI CAI coming. I am pretty sure my truck already has an exhaust system on it. So i was wondering what would be the next thing i should look at getting? I have been looking at the Edge CS Evolution Programmer. If there are things i should do before that all your input and experience is appreciated thanks.

 

performance wise....yes ...a programmer would be next on my list.

 

Programmer with custom tunes for the intake.

 

How would i go about getting custom tunes for my CAI? Do i need to take into a shop somewhere to do that?

 

You will be told gryphon 7 times out of 10.
You can have custom tunes written and sent to you or sent with the tuner.
You will probably need custom tunes.
Use the search feature.

 

Once you get a device capable of supporting custom tunes, the tunes can be emailed to you and downloaded onto the device. It varies by company on the specifics of it. The SCT x3 and Gryphon monochrome, CS, or CTS are the best for the money custom programmers. There are several places to get custom tunes for the SCT (VMP, 5star, Troyer, PHP), the Gryphon is exclusive to Power Hungry Performance.

Basically going about custom tuning, it is like this:
1. Order the device and custom tunes
2. Get device and get HEX number or something similar to tell the tuner what the specifics of your computer's strategy are.
3. Download custom tunes onto the device
4. Load custom tunes into your truck's PCM
