Irish - I'm not an expert, but all you have to do is write down 'stock' for the majority of the items listed. You will need to specify how you want your shifting, and what type/octane tunes you want. It helps to call 'em up and they will help you fill it out right over the phone - their customer service is that good. So, be a pest - they do not mind.
Axle ratio - find the code on the driver door jamb label and cross-reference it against: http://www.fordf150.net/howto/decode.php
Engine just indicate 5.4L 3V
Don't forget to tell 'em what wheels/tire size, and give 'em yer VIN !

LMAO..
"what diameter are your plug wires?"...
Ummm...
Yeah, anything they ask that you haven't changed, just answer "stock"..
Probably most of my answers on the worksheet were, "stock"..
And the result is that I have a completely different truck now...
I had a friend of mine get behind the wheel of my truck tonight, running Troyers 93 perf. tune (he has an '06 4.2L STX).. FUN!!
He was nice enough to ask did I mind if he floored it?.. not at all!!.. LOL.. I just wanted to show him what a difference the tunes made.. he got the message!

What did you guys put for the rev limiter adjustment? Did you change it or did you leave it and let Mike adjust it automatically for your engine, modifications and whats safe for each individual vehicle. Also my axil was B6 which was 3.73LS gear ratio. Is this pretty standard for the FX4?

the fact that troyer bases a lot of the tune on vehicle maintenance makes me feel a lot better about the safety of my truck in the longrun.
