Yes. The canned tunes are kind of a more powerful version of the OEM. They give you aggressive shift, revs, etc. But they do not do what the custom ones do, especially if you have any mods at all. They can do towing tunes performance, and mileage. Although the mileage's aren't worth it cause the efficiency you get from the performance is great and the most people don't like the laziness of the shifts in them.

It seems everyone here loves the SCT, but I got an edge evo this week and loved it. Before my truck barely broke traction at a dead stop now it lights 'em up and will fish tail all the way through first if I keep on it. The only problem I found was my Volant CAI would drone really bad and seemed to drag down the MPG I guess it was running too lean. I sent it off the powerhungyperfomance.com and they said they could do a custom tune and account for exhaust and get the drone out of the CAI and improve perf. I was getting around 13.5, but should get about 16 after. Does the SCT give problems w/ CAI?

I have a 2000 F-150 with the 5.4L. I have a K&N Cold air on it, Cut off cats, and true duals. I am looking at buying a turner/programmer and really dont know what to buy I have heard mixed reviews on all. I do a lot of highway driving and also a lot of towing and need more power. I want something that is good on gas mileage and also easy on the tranny because I cannot afford to put a new one in at this time. My truck has 140,000 on it. I put about 40,000 a year on it and run 285/70/17 Nitto Terra grapplers because I live on a farm also. I was just wondering what would be the best route to go and not get to expensive because I am in college. Thanks Spenser
