Default Which programmer?

Hey guys I'm kinda stuck here, I want to buy a programmer for my truck 2000 f150 5.4 with a 6 inch lift and 35 inch Mickey t's. I'm looking to gain a Lil bit of pep back that the lift and tires took away. I've read all the forums I could and this has just left me more confused lol. The three I can't decide between are the Edge Evo, Superchips Flashpaq, and the Diablosport Predator. I would appreciate everyones opinion on these or any other which they think is better. Also how the programmers have worked on their truck. Thanks

The best strategies are custom tuned. The Gryphon and SCT x3 both accomplish this, which is why they are considered the "best" programmers.

Are the canned tunes that they come with that bad that I couldn't just run them? The only mods I have is a gibson supertruck exhaust and the gotts mod.

The canned tunes are fine, especially if you have a truck that isn't modified.
Sure a custom tune will (should) be better, but is also alot more expensive.

Canned tunes will work in your situation, but won't be "best". Even on a relatively stock truck, custom tunes are far superior to a canned tune. You'll feel a good increase with canned tunes, but once you get custom tunes you'll never go back.

How much does a custom tune generally cost. I'm gonna be scraping together money just to be able to afford a programmer.
