Hi Larry,
Welcome to F-150 Online!
Use the search feature, it's powerful & pretty easy to use. You'll find a botton that says "search" in the top right area of your screen here. Click on it, then just follow the instructions/examples in the various search filter fields & you can find just about anything here.
Just as an aside (uh-oh, here goes the salesman in me), you'll get a better result with more power gain, lower EGT's & better fuel mileage using the Superchips Micro Tuner instead of the Hypertech unit. By all means, use whatever makes you happy, I'm just letting you know that there is a better product availalbe...........if Hypertech made the best product, we'd use, sell & recommend them instead. Superchips is doig the best job on PCM programming & tuning in these vehicles & has far more R&D into this application.
Hypertech is pretty generic, meaning their programs are not all made for each individual vehicle as the Superchips are. Hypertech also only changes tuning to gain power at full-throttle (open loop, about 81% throttle or greater to be technically accurate), where there are no emissions standards that have to be met. That is a rather severe drawback, as it doesn't help normal driving or towing nearly as much as the full-range tuning that Superchips does on both part-throttle and full-throttle.
With the Superchips Micro Tuner, your vehicle will be tuned individually, according to it's exact PCM software revision. The Micro Tuner has hundreds of performance programs built into each one, a different program to match each and every different factory code automatically gets uploaded into the PCM so your vehicle gets tuned for specifically. The Superchips performance programs are not compromised to run on all similar vehicles.
And of course, with the Superchips tuning you'll have more power all the time, at any throttle positon or rpm, and still be 50-state CARB & EPA emissions approved.
You will also gain more horsepower and torque with the Superchips tuning compared to Hypertech's, and at a lower EGT (exhaust gas temperature), and get better mileage as well in the PSD's when the motor is working under a load (such as when towing, or when driving empty at higher speeds on the freeway, etc.). There are 2 power levels available in the Micro Tuner, +60 HP & 115 lbs./ft. and then the +80 HP & 130+ lbs./ft. program.
Best of luck with your info search, & if you'd like to go over any of this in more detail, give us a call at our number listed below & we'll be happy to go over all of this with you. We test a lot of products as we focus on who does the best job in each area, tuning, intakes, exhaust, headers, etc. We don't care about the brand name on the box, just getting the best results. By and large, Superchips tuning has traditionally been as good as it gets in this industry. They basically invented the performance chip & industry about 20 years ago, & has more R&D into their applications than any other chipmaker, each one is vehicle-specific and tunes on both part-throttle and full throttle while still being emissions certified, something that nobody else does.
Best of luck with your vehicle, & we hope you'll hang out here with us on F-150 Online in your spare time!
