I could definitely feel a difference on my '07 4.6L-2V STX with the 87 Octane setting using Shell gas. It actually does better with the factory modded fresh air intake over the AFE Intake. I haven't tried the 91 Performance setting since I've gone back to the factory modded air intake.
A lot of people will recommend a custom tune over a canned tune. You need to decide which is best for your needs and read the thread on programmers.
Good luck, James

If you plan to run an aftermarket intake on a 5.4L-3V engine you will need to run a custom tune to ensure you are not running lean. You might want to start with the Gott's Mod, a Magnaflow y-pipe, a Magnaflow muffler and a exhaust tip.
Save a little money while you research a programmer that fits your needs and budget and then make the purchase.

I have one for my o6 screw 5.4. Not so sure its worth the money, but it does make a difference on the 87 octane setting. Cant seem to keep out of the gas. I dont have any mods other than KN drop in filter, and Im not running 91 octane fuel.

2008fx4white .... I have the Flashpaq 1865 on my '07 FX4 with 5.4 (with low restr intake and SI/DO low restr exhaust) and I'm plumb tickled with it. Cost me $350 in February and the change was immediate.

(note .... my mileage figures are country roads and highway driving, I hardly ever use the interstate as we prefer the old road with less traffic usually when we go out.)
