Hey guys Im looking to buy a programmer and talked to a friend that has a raptor he said to get an SCT with a hennessey custome tune for my 2015 5.0 just that could find a tune for my truck so he said if they dot have a tune for it better get a diablo sport than a sct by its self. Any recomendations?

Looking for a tuner to make my 5.0 V8 lope. I feel like that paired with my Roush Exhaust will sound freaking amazing, I'm just too cheap to cam it out.

MPT has the ghost tune but I'm not sure if they've commercially released it yet.

Dang, I heard about some guy named Johnny Lightning doing them but when I went to his website it sounded a little sketchy. His name was only mentioned a few times on some YouTube videos. If the Mustang's TrackKey has a ghost cam on, then it shouldn't be very hard to make the F150 do the same. Wish it was that easy, just use a different key.

Default Switched from EDGE to SCT and never looked back

I have a 2015 3.5L F150 ecoboost. I tried the Edge Evolution CTS and although i saw a slight difference I wasn't impressed. I returned it and even though it cost quite a bit more got a SCT livewire TS+ because of discussions on this forum. SOOOO glad I did! Right away saw a huge difference over stock, the evo CTS and the SCT!!! Another huge advantage the livewire has over the evo is the ability to get custom tunes!

Default 2003 4.6L hypertech mpg settings


Howdy folks, proud new owner of 2003xlt with 4.6L triton and only 50,000 miles!! He has the hypertech tuner and he was running the premium gas setting which I don't need/want but I would like the potential mpg boost for the regular gas setting. He reset it back to factory settings. Anyone have any suggestions of where to start on the settings for this? Thanks all, happy holidays!

'14 FX4 5.0L Screw w/Roush Phase-2 570hp kit. Still has original exhaust, so far. Using VMP 91 octane Performance tune via an SCT early series hand held. Easy and reliable. Roush kit installed as part of new truck purchase from authorized Ford dealer with Roush 3/36 warranty. Roush tune was very weak, limited to 95mph and very poor cruise control operation. Took truck back to dealer for cruise control fix. Turns out that my particular cruise control problem was not uncommon for Coyote F150's prior to 2015. Wouldn't maintain speed even slightly uphill or against the wind. Would downshift unnecessarily and too many times while still failing to maintain speed usually slowing down even more. It did this both before and after the supercharger installation. Anyway, by the time I got around to getting it back to the dealer, the Roush kit was already installed. Dealer contacted Ford and they said it was Roush's problem (true; they inherited the Ford problem when they agreed to warranty my truck...). The dealer then contacted Roush and they said it was a Ford problem (also, true; the problem existed before the supercharger install and is not uncommon in other similar Coyote trucks prior to the aluminum bodies...). The dealer offered to act as middle man for me to get one side or the other to take responsibility. I was too disgusted to try wasting any more time. I called Justin Starkey at VMP and told him the problem and he said that he could fix the cruise control issue in his VMP 91 octane performance tune for the Coyote F150. I decided to void my warranties and loaded the VMP tune. Boy, what an improvement. The cruise control worked perfectly; the 95mph limit was gone; the gas mileage improved 1-2mpg depending on conditions; and, the truck was noticeably more responsive and overall was much more powerful. The truck felt 1,000lbs lighter. If I had to do it all over again, I would have just bought a good used low mileage FX4 still under warranty and installed a VMP Gen-2 Stage-2 supercharger kit myself and saved thousands of dollars. Lessons learned. FYI...
