SCT for 2001 f150
I'm thinking about getting the SCT X3 programmer for my 2001 f150 and was curios if anybody has had any experience with this programmer and also is anybody running it with 35's and how well does it work, thanks.

Gotta be 4.56...not unless you know of a place to get a reverse cut 4.30 for the front.....cause I haven't seen one listed yet...that's only if your truck is 4x4....if its 2wd then you'll be ok....

IT is a custom tune. It's on 87 gas right now but I'm going to go to 93 and it will pick up another 20 hp. I didn't switch to 93 b/c I had 87 in the truck

It cost me 409 dollars. But it's a good investment, the truck is a lot quicker than it was an it shifts better.
