I am in a debate of if I should get a tuner for my truck.

I Have a 3" Magnaflow Cat back system and a Banks Ram air intake. Is my truck running lean now. What would be the (best / Most safe) tuner for my truck. I just want to take out the accel. lag and firm up the shifting.

 

what are the specs on your truck? if its 4.6 i wouldnt be to worried, would i invest in one yes but its not a must have or my truck is ruined. 5.4 on the otherhand, you are going to want to invest in a tuner asap. the 3v have more of an issue running lean with aftermarket CAI

 

Yes, I do have the 3v 5.4, I am looking at buying a Edge CTS and Getting a custom tune for it. What would be other good tuners for the 5.4

 

Check out Power Hungry Performance. I'm about to purchase their gryphon CTS, which is the same as the edge CTS but can be custom tuned. I've heard nothing but great things about the gryphons. The custom tunes can take awhile, so if that is a concern you may want to check out other tuners. Do a search on here and you'll have more info than you can handle.

 

Check out the links in my Sig or find one of MGDfan's post cause he's got links in his Sig also....

All depends on what YOU want.......

 

Do you think it will be ok to run my truck with the Air intake for like a month without a tuner until I get a tuner and get the custom tune?

 

its going to take some time to get the custom tunes also, its not like you buy it and 7-10 days later you have a tuner with custom tunes on it. It has taken some months to get it.

 

I would pull the intake off, do a Gotts/DWV mod to the stock intake, and put it back on. Aftermarket intakes do absolutely nothing positive for you except look cool and make noise.
