Jet chip/Question about the edge or xcal
I figured out how to install this jet chip.....It was a little time consuming but okay....The wife bought it for 50 dollars....Taking off from a dead stop I have not noticed any difference(sop)..But passing from 50 to 70 has definately improved....I would g-tech this chip but I'm really not interested in that.....I pulled a loaded open car-trailer yesterday and it does have more power in the 50 plus range....The truck is stock except for cat-back exhaust and now the chip....Don't even have a k&n drop-in......Here's my question though which is better in peoples opinions the new edge or the xcal?....Truck is a 99 f150 with a 5.4....If that helps.....

Obviously, it all boils down to personal preferences; what you expect to gain with a tuner. I recommend the XCal2 with TP’s custom tunes. I’ve had my 04 Screw tuned since 12-03-04 and it’s been flawless, no glitches at all

Ok, I admit I deserve both of the responses.....I plan on doing more upgrades to my truck...Just trying to figure out the most effective way to do it....Already bored with the chip that I put in it....Long term plan(2-3 yrs) is to supercharge it....If what I have read on these forums is as knowledgeable as it seems, then the xcal with tp custom tuning seems like it's a no-brainer...I'm assuming that the xcal can be reprogramed when I add the supercharger......

Hi fordfriendly,
And yes, we can change the tunes any time you change the mechanical configuration of the truck in a manner that would require changes to the tunes - like a supercharger - and usually just simply email those changes to you.
Please feel free to give us a call at our number listed below for more details on this.
