Programmer help....newb
It's been a while since I've posted, sorry.
I have an 01 screw with only a cat-back on it. Been wanting to do a programmer, just didn't know what to use. Can anyone help with some suggestions?
I am ordering a K&N cold air kit next week, but that is about all I'm gonna do. Maybe change the rear-gears to 3.73, since I put 20's on it. But that is about it. I use this truck to haul my race car, so I don't want to get carried away with the mods.... which I usually do. LOL

Tuner- XCal2
CAI- Air Force One
The AF1 will produce much better numbers than the K&N hands down.
Give'm a call at www.troyerperformance.com and they will answer all of your questions and get you all fixed up. Do a search on this forum on the XCal2 and you can see how pleased everyone is who has one.

Hi Niceguy,
Welcome back!
For programming, what will get you the best results is to go with our Troyer Performance custom tuning - we've specialized in tuning the F-150 longer than anyone else, and are very well known for our results.
We deliver a set of 3 different custom tunes, set up however is appropriate for each individual vehicle owner's needs, and provide them in the most advanced hand-held tuner on the market, the XCalibrator 2 - it has complete enhanced-parameter diagnostics as well as a high-speed datalogger built in, and many other features, such as Internet-updateable firmware, USB connectivity to your PC, and much more.
Just as an aside, with regards to your potential gear ratio change, I strongly advise going to 4.10's instead of just 3.73's for those 20" wheels - 3.73's really don't do much, and the 4.10's give you must more torque multiplication without a penalty in fuel mileage - in most cases, unless your cruising speeds are significantly in excess of about 80 mph, you generally won't see the mpg drop, and in many cases, it actually goes up a tiny bit due to reduced load on the motor.
One other point - the K&N intake kit works well, but if you really want to get the most out of the air intake tract, the Air Force One gains about 3 HP more than the K&N FIPK - if that matters to you - just FYI.
If you;d like to go over any of this in more detail, please feel free to give us a cal at our number listed below & we'll be happy to help.
Thanks for your post, & best of luck whatever you decide!
