best programmer?
I was wondering what would be best to buy with a budget of 300-400 bucks? I dont have any mods yet but i have a 6 inch sus lift, 3 inch body lift, and 33x13.50 swampers sitting here. I plan to program for performance and plan to add tb spacer, k&n intake kit, exhaust, and any other little addons for performance i can find.. I have a 99 ford f150 4x4 with 5.4l engine.. also any suggestions as to what exhaust, intake and other goodies for performance..
Save the money of the TB spacer. Total waste. For a programmer, you need custom tunes to get the most out of a CAI. That means either an Xcal3 or a Gryphon. The Gryphon provides a monitor with gauges and the Xcal3 does not. However, there has been an issue with the hardware for the Gryphon on the unit for 99-03. If you are ready to buy right now, that leaves the Xcal3. The Gryphon issue will hopefully be resolved in the near future.

I just joined, but i had a similar post : https://www.f150online.com/forums/ch...ggestions.html
I would reccomend the GOTTS mod: https://www.f150online.com/forums/ar...3-f-150-a.html
and silencer removal: http://www.fordf150.net/howto/airintake.php (im prolly going to get flamed for linking outside the site, but i couldnt find it on f150online.com)
i would do these before the k&n and see how you like them( I was able to do it and I dont have that much experience, so its not that hard)

I left it out because right now, my only opinion is at best nil. I have no experience with them at all other than on a diesel. On my truck, I prefer setting everything the way I want it and leaving it there. I don't have any interest in "on the fly" changes. I'll let you do the recommendations on those.

Short and sweet, i.r.s.
I got it immediately. We're going to have to start sending you a finder's fee every month.
Thanks for the post!
