superchips custom 5 bank chip.-please input

i currently own this
http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi...alogno=SCT6600
its a super chips custom tuning 5 program 4 bank performance chip.
i've had it for a while now but its never been flashed. i got it from a buddy who had got rid of his last ford. (he bought a dodge )
but anywho, i have it and i need to re-flash it for my truck.
do any of yall know the best place to get this re-flashed? or do yall have the program on your computers? i can pay for you to do it.

im just looking to get it done as cheap as i can. im not in any hurry.

any input is appreciated.
(it may also be for sale for the right price)

-chris

Troyer still tunes those but there is a long wait. They are great. You can change programs pretty much on the fly by rotating a switch.

what is your pcm code? should be 3 letters and number like AXP2. If it is AXP2 I will sell you my old flip chip from troyer.

Sticker on the PCM itself - right side kickpanel/firewall area under the glovebox. Or if yer lucky, passenger side door jamb ...

Reflash = yep, most likely unless are both the same & bone stock...

I think Gotts was just trying to save you the cost & wait for tunes, IF your trucks pretty much matched. There would be up to 4 tunes (plus stock).

What about a spare if the price was right?

FYI - there were *cough* several PCM codes for both the 4.6 & 5.4 for the 2000 MY F150's - it would be like winning the lottery if yours was the same, lol: http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...alibration.xls

I would think the VMP could do it, he used to work for Superchips didn't he?
And I wouldn't believe everything you read on here about who is better at tuning these trucks.

your thinking of bill at PHP, he use to work at superchips, i believe with mike troyer(from what i hear).

00grn5.4 just send it to troyer and he'll do it it will be a long azz wait but should be worth it.

I know that Mike knows Bill very well, but I am pretty sure that the other guy worked at one of Superchips facilities also. Mike did a lot of R&D stuff there but never actually worked for them. My guess is that he taught them more than he learned there..

The tune is a 2000 f150 5.4 auto trans with intake, exhaust and electric fans (no difference in the tune for e-fans), on stock sixed tires. The only difference is if your tires are over sized your speedo will still be out. They want you to mail the chip in and you pay to pay to ship it back and I believe it will be roughly $50 per tune. If you have AXP2 pcm I'll sell you mine for $150 shipped and you could sell that one VERY easy for $50. You then got 4 sct tunes for $100
