Ok so I have a 2003 f150 super-crew 5.4 with 4.5 in lift and am looking at tuners/ programers and wanted to know what is the best tuner/programmer for my truck and want to get the best bang for my buck

 

SCT

 

Your not going to notice a huge diff with any of them, that being said. I have an 02 screw 5.4 and I have an SCT Livewire ts and like it a lot. The general concensus seems to be the SCT for our trucks, which model you purchase is up to you.

 

Awww man. Now you've done it! I was all but settled on ordering a X4 from MPT, but for $200 more I can get that? I love the real time data screen. Is it adjustable to display different functions, or are the parameters set?

 

It's adjustable for parameters and has about 6 diff gauge screens, and a couple diff color options. It will hold 10 custom tunes has 3 canned tunes and you can plug in a back up camera. It will sense when you go into reverse and the screen will go to live back up. See franchi a member here, he is a dealer and good to work with. Caught mine on a 1 day sale last 4th of July, very good deal.

 

Thanks for the info. Very help full!

 

I went ahead and ordered the X4. I love the live wire, but I'm also trying to get some new gears and diffs.

 

How big of a tire are you running and what gears are you going with?

 

37" M16's. Gonna be running a set of 4.88's. Will put my final drive ratio pretty close to stock.

 

Hey y'all I'm a noob as far as these go for the most part. So are tuners and programmers the same thing? They seem to be used interchangeably but I just want to confirm there's no difference
