FX4 mods
Hey all,
I have already done some simple mods to my truck, and I was curious as to what else I could do to up the HP. Right now I have true-dual Magnaflow sport exhaust X-pipe and an Airraid intake system (which has made a significant difference). The power difference is already nice, but I am looking for more.
What other mods do you all recommend? I have a 2004 FX4 5.4L 3V Scab with about 36,000 miles on it. I have read about the programming tuners, but I am hesitant with those screwing something up with the motor of transmission. Thanks for the suggestions.

Solution to never saying "no problem yet" is the SCT xcal2 with a custom tune.

And the SCT xcal2 with a custom tune for Anthony probably hasn’t had any problem YET either since he still has it. since we can predict the future

I can go back and forth all day on why the xcal2 is better than the edge. Can you even monitor STFTs with the edge ?

I was skepotical as well before I got my tuner and now I run the high octane tune. Pays for itself with better mpg. 95% of the time I putt around but when I want the power it is there. Truck is also more "lively". Got on the hwy tonight and had an aggressive new style screw behind me...put my pedal down and left him pretty bad. 
He's probably wondering...what the hell? why can't I catch him?
