Default What programmer should I get?

I have a 1999 f150 with a 5.4L in it. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of programmer/tuner I should put on to get the best results for a reasonable price. Thanks.

I bought the Superchips Cortex from autoanything.com for $350. I'm very pleased with the results and all the options it lets you do

I agree cortex is the best way to go it does EVERYTHING. You wanna boost HP it does it you wanna tow it has a preset for that you want to save gas has a program for that. ALSO it works on more than one of your rides. You have more than one truck u have a car too you can tune all of them. Its well worth the money. You change your gearing get bigger tirers and it will adjust your speedometer and clock for the sizing
