Hey Gang,

I'm hoping you all can help me out as I am a "newbie" when it comes to this tuner/chip performance thing. Let me start off by stating that I am a first time Screw owner and have enjoyed and noticed a change in performance by adding a CAI and a new exhaust system. My questions are?? What will I gain by adding a tuner or chip to my truck? Will this void my warranty? Who makes the best chips/tuners? Are they easy to use??? As you can see, I have a lot of questions. If someone would be willing to post some info about this stuff, I'd sure appreciate it. I'd really like to be informed about this but at the present moment I do not know anything about it. Anyway, someone please......

 

You sound like a troll to me.I'll bite.You live next door to the man,Mike Troyer.Use the search button,lots of info. to ingest/apply to your p/u.Worked for me.Get a cold one and sit down for a few minutes and it will be 2 hrs. past when you look up again.Have fun.

 

Why would you say I'm a troll?? I'm simply trying to get some informed info here. As for living next door to Mike Troyer, is he in the Northern Va. D.C. area because I've never heard of him. Believe me, I'm looking for info here on the boards and if you look enough, you'll see that I've posted on here quite a bit trying to help feloow F-150 owners as well as asking for help. Here's to hoping someone THAT DOESN'T THINK I'M A TROLL will indeed help with some info.

 

Edge and Troyer seem to be the preferred tuners for the F-150's. The edge is basically a off the shelf unit that you can get your hands on much quicker and offers decent performance gains. Some are talking around 35+ HP some reporting higher. It also has setting for grade of gas used and towing if that is needed in your truck. The Edge also mounts in your truck and can display engine and trans vitals, temp and many other things. So if you wanted to know more about your truck while it is running this might be a good choice.
SEcond is the Troyer. He custom builds you a profile, well actually 3, based on what mods you currently have in your truck and what you use your truck for/driving style. It seems to take about a month from purchase date till delivery date but because it is made specifically for your mods and how you use your truck it tends to work just a bit better than the edge. Keep in mind I am a newb and spitting out info I have read on here, but I do have a troyer tuner on order.

It will not void your warranty as long as you remove it before returning your vehicle to ford for service. The stock profile is saved in the tuner and you can go back to it at anytime leaving no trace of the tuner.

Who makes the best chips tuners? See above

They seem easy enough to use. I am sure they both come with full instruction manuals and many people on here have the edge or the troyer so it should be easy enough to get help if any is needed.

For what its worth I dont think your a Troll, besides trolls hardly ever make sig lines, they dont plan to hang around for long

 

Okay,my apology.Maybe it's my time of the month.Lmao.http://www.troyerperformance.com.Best money I've spent by far,hands down, for the engine.Best power upgrade,customer service and ease of installation.I can't speak for everybody here but you will see a large portion run Troyer tunes and for a good reason,he knows his stuff.

 

Thanks for the help. Sounds like I may have to give Troyer a call! Are they located in Va.? I'm in Northern Va. close to D.C. I wonder if I could just drive there? One last thing? About how much $$$ am I looking at??

 

Check out the XCal2 with Mike's custom tunes, they're really good; it's been the best performance mod I've done
