Default Ghost cam tune

Does anyone still offer the ghost cam tune for the 5.0 trucks? Going to pick one up Monday and I am interested in one.

It's a tune that makes the motor lope at an idle. It's dumb most standards and I thought it had died out.

Check with MPT on their web site. I run one for a few weeks per year on my 2011 v6 Mustang. I'm not sure they make one for the old 5.0's but they make one for the new 5.0's.

The way they retard the timing makes the engine run extremely rich, not good especially for the cats.
