The real scoop from an uneducated customer - XCAL2
Holy Golden Banannas Batman!!! This thing is officially cool!!!! 
Let me tell you the whole story. I recieved my tunes on Saturday, and had my AF1 3.25" intake in the closet waiting for the tuner as Troyers told me not to run that big intake without programming. Well I am no very mechanical, and although it doesnt take a pit crew to put an intake on I wanted my buddy, who is actually a ford mechanic to install it. That said, it was Saturday, and I couldnt get the intake on till Monday, but I couldnt wait. I figured the intake wouldnt make that much difference(I was replacing an Airaid system) and the programmer would work. WRONG!!! My truck ran like crap..... bad crap. It bogged down from 1st through 2nd and sporadically and often thereafter. Needless to say I panicked. Even posted on here a bunch about it. What if I got that intake on and the programmer still didnt work? I spoke to Anita Monday morningf and she said that the difference in the two intakes and there tuning was great and that is why my truck ran bad. So I believed, installed the AF1 and put the tunes back in, and WHOAAAA!!!! Its awesome. I cants stress enough how pleased I am. i NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THE hypertek IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING as it did nothing but change my shift firmness. This was ridiculous!! I am a true believer.. I have JBA Headers, A Magnaflow Exhaust, The AF1 3.25" intake and the xcal-II. I will get the fans and pulleys next, but right now I could not be happier!! Im just waiting to see my fuel economy now.

Is Hyperpac crap???????
First off I am a sports car guy. I have crotch rocket and turbo charged sports cars. This is my first real truck, besides a my old 05 Ranger. I know next to nothing about the different vendors of truck chips and tuners.
PLEASE HELP
I ordered a hyperpack for my truck. When it arrived it was not compatible with my truck as it containd the wrong software, so Hpertech is reprogramming it. I have a #20502 trueflow intake with a Magnaflow 16617 dual side exit exhaust. Should I stick with the Hyperpac 84000, or should I go with the xcal or edge?
