I have been trying to figure out what performance chip is the best,for my 01 F150 5.4 Triton SuperCrew, between SuperChip, diablo-predator, Hypertec( programmer 3), Edge, Jet,

 

I have the edge and really like it, but for the price you might as well go custom and talk to troyer performance since it's actually cheaper now

 

Is $304. a good price for the edge tuner and do you have to use higher octane gas with a tuner? Sorry if they are stupid questions , but I'm just starting to feel these options out.

 

You haven't been trying very hard if you've been here long enough to have even read the titles in this section.

X-Cal II.
Troyer Perfomance tunes.

 

yeah $304 is actually cheaper than I got mine, you only have to use 87 to run the canned tow tune (lvl 2) for the canned level 3 you need 91. but after you have it a while and feel like playing with things you can adjust the timing on level 3 to run on 87. the gauges with the edge are a major plus, I love them.

 

Hey F150SC, Give Mike Troyer a call because IMO, his custom tunes are da’bomb, they won’t disappoint; best bang for the buck performance mod I’ve done I’ve used Mikes tunes in my 2004 5.4L since the get go, and have never, never had a problem; ultra reliable

 

... and for the DIY types out there theres also the tweecer, sniper tuning, and an upcoming(hopefully) diablosport personal use cmr.

 

Sniper Special forces software works great !!!!

 

Go with Troyer Performance you will be glad you did. I think the Edge might be cool to have the gauges but look at all the problems people have with their Edges. I do not want to take a chance when I plug something into my truck and hope it works, forget that. Hey if it doesn't work then all it will cost you is the cost of a tow to the dealer and about $75 for them to reflash your truck. Good luck . Go with what works best, Troyer.

 

Diablosport holds the title on pulling power out of engines.

 

No particular tuner is more "reliable" than another, because they all work almost exactly the same way. You will see a lot more edge problems on this website because there are countless more edge modules floating around, compared to Troyer's. I did a writeup on tuners a while back. Check it out, and see how you feel.

"Thinking about a tuner"

I did this BEFORE SCT released the "livewire", so if you're interested in custom tuning with guages, that might be for you. Good luck on your decision.

P.S. If somebody wrote me a paragraph about the livewire, I'd include it in the guide.

 

Owe, and you get a nifty ruler with your Predator

Hmmm.... 13 second truck with ONLY a tuner, intake/exhaust, and pullies/fans.... I want his motor!

 

That's allot of info. I'll set aside some time this weekend and read some of it. After reading all that, I should be brainwashed one way or the other.

Just kidding with you. It looks like a good read though.
