I've got a 01 king ranch on 35's. Exhaust, CAI, and a Superchips "PowerPack" last owner just bought it to recalibrate the speedometer. I messed with it and it woke the truck from a dead sleep to more of a drowsiness lol. You gotta pick one. Power or being tall. You rarely get both.

Ya i know what you mean, one of my buddies just put 35 inch super swampers on his f 250 and he said the first thing he noticed was the loss of power...do you think its worth dropping the 350 ish dollars for the power of the programmer????
thats the same thing i was looking at for super chip...the "powerpack"

The only real way to gain any amount of the "power" back when you go with taller tires, is to re-gear.
