f150 v6 Tuner?
I have tried to do a little research on this but have turned up NOTHING besides that they are out there and people do have them...

All i would like is the name, website, maybe even a direct number to places that sale a chip for my truck in the signature. I KNOW they are out there... But i dont know where to start. I have a lead as to them being gryphons or that sct has something for me. And custom tune packs are nice. I would really rather get a shift on the fly so i can get some gas mileage out of little body big headed truck... If you have anything please let me know much appreciated!

Jesse

Select Products tab, then Search By Vehicle.

Though not specifically listed on his site (http://5startuning.com/) I'd call Mike Butler too.

Troyer Performance wrote custom tunes for my 4.2. They are great. A positive experience. I would recommend.

Troyer is the best, but it will take several months to get custom tunes from him unless you take a trip to his shop in Virginia.

For a 4.2L V6 you will see a 5-8rwhp gain, possibly 0.2-0.5 mpg gain.

Hey raptor, I am looking to do similar to my truck what you have to yours. Intake, exhaust, and tuner. All together also answering my last tidbit what do YOU see in gains from the v.6? Also i am having trouble picking an exhaust. I do not want a raspy 6banger sound you get from some of them but i really want the deepest tone you get as far up the rpm range it will give it to you, I am thinking supper 44s? Or maybe 50s? I dont even know where to start honestly
