my fathers 50th old man b-day lol is coming soon and im looking into some toys for his 05 s crew fx4 with the 5.4.im thinking of getting him the stage 1kit from troyer with the sct tuner. he pulls a 27ft camper during the summer months. just curious what tunes works best for everyone. i was thinking tune 1- 89 octane performance, tune 2- 93 octane towing, tune 3- 93 octane performance. any other users have this package and have any info they can share with me? thanks

 

Not trying to stir the pot but I'm guessing since F150online was sold and under new ownership, the sponsors (unless under contract) are no longer so? What does the entire stage 1 kit consist of? The only thing I'd stay away from is their E-fan kit. I've spent thousands on Troyer merchandise so I'm not speaking from inexperience.

 

What you posted sounds good. Give the peeps at Troyer a call, they will give you ALOT of info and guidance on whats best for your pops set up!

 

there kit consist of a sct x cal 2 tuner with 3 custom tunes , maggy cat back exhaust, and air force 1 intake. i will give them a call i was just cuious of hearing some of the pros and cons from anyone using this set up i want to get him a decent set-up to maybe help him stop drooling on my lightning lol

 

Pros - way too many to list.
Cons - wait time on tunes and if you choose the larger AF1, you'll have to wait for the tunes to install it.


also, you may wanna pay a little extra for a 4th tune and match up the 89 perf with an 89 tow.....I wish I had, now I only buy 93 because 80% of the time, I'm towing and I only have a 93 tow tune. I still have plans to spring for the matching 87tow tune and have yet to try out the 87 perf tune.

 

Check out VMPTuning and BamaChips.

 

My stage 1 came with a Roush exhaust so I think theres room to play with on the exhaust

 

does anyone know if there tunes will work for all year round tempetures as well? basically being ok to run through the summer and upstate ny winter months?

 

Yup.
