I'm back, and the games are over.........
Hello All,
Yes, I'm back!!
The reason I spent some time away was to provide better service and get some of the tuning backlog knocked out - we have had so many big project vehicles this year it has simply been amazing - though we are in our 16th year of specializing in F-150's, this year we have had more manufacturers & OEM's come to us to have us solve problems, build vehicles, do special articles for them, etc that it just killed us!! So I felt it was only fair to our customer to not only work 7 days a week like we do, but to not spend any time here (and God, I've missed you guys!!) so that I could spend every possible second tuning & getting these project vehicles done.
OK, well, I'm back. And we have some great things going on and news to tell you.
First - we have a completely newly redesigned electric fan kit mounting solution, we have new custom fabricated mounting brackets that make it a breeze to mount our fans, and an even more though manual - so you 2004 & newer owners will be delighted to see this - this also applies to the 1997-2003 owners, they have to install the bracket slightly differently, and we are working on that new manual for the 1997-2003's right now. The 2004 & up new manuals are done and already shipping, and those of you with 1997-2003's who want this new setup we can take care of right now as well, of course.
Anyone that wants to upgrade to the new mounting bracket setup is welcome to call us and get them separately - only those who have actually purchased our kit from us can buy those brackets.
We have also upgraded our supercharger power packages (no, they are not on our web site yet) so provide even more power for those who need more and more - Stu call us for details.
We also have finally signed off on a new spark plug design for the 3-valve engines and this is something we have been working on in secret - these new plugs still need to be changed at 25K-30K miles just like you need to do with the Autolites for all your 3-valve engine owners, but these plugs can take the rigors of supercharged and higher power applications better, feature a one piece design and will produce more power on even a bone-stock vehicle - and, you can easily adjust the gap on them without any special tools. Again, this is not up on our site yet, I wanted to announce the fact that we have tested and signed off on this new plug here first.
We have also, once again, thrown out the window how we do our 5.4 3V tuning just as we have always done every so often, and have even better tunes with more power and even better driveability to offer everyone who owns the 2004 & newer F-150's. Now this is primarily applicable to the 5.4 3V engines, though the 4.6's from 2005 & up do see some smaller improvements, it's mainly the 5.4 3V's that will benefit from this. Those of you who have been tuned in the past month or so already have those changes (and you can always call us to double check that for you!), while those of you 5.4 3V guys who have been tuned before that will benefit from being upgraded. No, it's not another 30 horsepower, but it's enough to be worthwhile and it helps power everywhere, as well as driveability. Anyone who was tuned before we made those most recent changes can get these upgrades at a lower cost and we can simply email them to you, if you'd like to have the latest.
There is so much more going on here than I have time or room to talk about - I just wanted to drop back by to say hello, and to wish everyone well - we have missed you all so much, and we look forward to being here more often now.
Last - thanks to those of you who have supported us for years, and continue to do so. We are back, and despite some of the silliness currently going on here from a few people, we'll be enjoying our time here with all our friends & customers - and thanks ever so much for your support!

Welcome Back!!
And thanks for my new tunes!!
Ordered Aug. 20, received Oct. 19. - so pretty much exactly the timeframe that Crystal predicted.
I'm looking forward to exploiting all three tunes, installed the 87 perf. this afternoon and the brief drive I took impressed me greatly!!
Excellent product, thanks again!!

Hi to the Troyer performance crew..
Good to here from you. I'm thinking about paying you a visit this spring to have my truck dyno again. Lets hope it makes more horsepower this time
I got the IMRC valve fixed. 147 horsepower was terrible

Well this is good news because I just ordered tunes from you a little less than a month ago. Now my patient waiting may become impatient as I want some performance out of this thing.
