97 f150 performance tuner

I have a 97 f150 with a 4.6l, and I was thinking of getting a tuner with both a economy mode and a performance mode. I have heard the gryphon is a good one. Any input on good ones, pros and cons, etc...

I haven't personally herd anythinh about them. But I use an Edge Evolution Power Programmer and there is a massive differance all for $370.00

An sct with a custom tune from mike at more power tuning will do you some good

Colt what kind of gains did you see?

On the dyno I'm seeing 83.16 hp differance. But I'm also about to sell this motor and put my new one in.

83 horse gain with a programmer?? What other mods do ya have?? I'm new to the Ford truck scene, but I'd be amazed to see gains like that just from a tune. If so..... I have GOT to get my hands on one of those programmers. What's the specs on it?? Multiple tunes, etc.

Not possible to get 83 rwhp gains from the 4.6 with a tune alone. Regardless of which brand tuner or who wrote the tune. That's more then we are seeing with the ecoboost twin turbo engines and the 4.6 responded even less to tunes then other platforms like the 5.4 or 5.0.

Well that's what I figured. That post I referenced to kind of made it sound that way tho. At least that's how I took it. Hence my sarcastic comment about getting my hands on one. The tuner that was mentioned there is only rated for an 18 horse gain on the 4.6 I think.

That wasn't what I ment. that's what I got after intake exhaust heads and a tune.

So what kind of gains did just the tuner provide?
