I have a 2008 F150 supercrew 5.4 and I recently put on a K&N cold air intake and a borla single side exit exhaust. From everything I read I should now either get a tuner or have someone tune it based on the new parts. What tuner should I go with? I know its probably a matter of preference but I'm guessing that one may be better and more popular than some of the others. I don't really tow much at all, just mostly city driving and some highway. Maybe throw a dirt bike in the back every now and then, but nothing major. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

You will need a custom tuned tuner to get full benefit from the CAI. The two most popular are the Xcal3 or the Gryphon. The principle difference is the Gryphon unit offers electronic gauges.

 

if you dont want to go the custom tune route the Diablo products have tunes specifically for CAI.

the trinity display looks amazing.

 

The trinity looks amazing but so does its price. Its comparable to the live wire.

 

I'm in Valencia, California are there any suggestions on where to get the tuner, or anyone in particular who is suppose to be the best at custom tunes?

 

imo, i would go wit a gryphon. i think it has alot to offer. and alot of people on here have alot of experience with them so if you have a problem, other then asking for help from php, you can ask alot of people on here.

 

You order it. You get the Gryphon or an Xcal3 from Power Hungry Performance and you can get the Xcal3 from Troyer Performance. If you want the Edge Evo, it can be gotten several places online.

 

Go with SCT X3 & custom tune from VMP, you will injoy your truck with a custom tune!

 

thought calif stuff had to have CARB certification,does gryphons come CARB certified?
