agreed go with the Gyphon with Custom Tunes, everyone on this site swears by them and you wont be happier, you can order them from powerhungryperformance.com if you want to take a look and that will be about $500 with 3-custom tunes and if your getting a cold air intake it is highly advised to get a tuner with custom tunes or your truck may run lean. Also I looked on tirerack.com and you get those same tires for $1241.36 including shipping to your location so that could save you some money to.

Yes there is a difference between custom tunes and the ones that would come on the Bully Dog. The ones on the Bully Dog would be considered "canned" tunes since you can't really get custom tuning for your specific vehicle. Yes, it's specific to the F-150, but not specific to your F-150 and it's modifications. Custom tuning will take everything you've done to your truck into account and maximize performance based on those modifications.
As mentioned you have a chance of running lean when you add a CAI. It's worse for certain years but is always recommended to get custom tuning for your intake. Canned tunes will not help, custom tunes will.

Oh sorry I didnt realize your original quote was for 5 tires, that quote is for four tires, but when I bought my tires I bought the four Duratracs then just bought the cheapest 35" tire I could find for the spare cause when it comes down to it, your gonna want to run the original wheels and not the spare so I just didnt see a point in having a $250 tire for a spare when it may never even get used.

Kevin is taking care of you I see....he quoted those tires $20ea lower than our site. I am going to have to slap him around a bit tomorrow.
Kevin has kept me slightly in the loop with your plans. If you can find a cheaper painter for the hood, feel free to let us know. If you can set up the work, we can drop it off. I just didnt want you to feel stuck with the guy we use; he is just top of the line, and I wont take the chance of having it come back with problems just to save a few bucks, without the customer's consent.
I'll tell him to contact Gryphon in the morning, as I don't believe we are dealers. However, if they are the SCT of gas motors, we need to be with them. We are dealers for SCT.
BTW, thanks for you service.

Wow, im kinda impressed to see the owner of the business post a reply. Im actually impressed with the prices, im just not a big fan of spendin money, im pretty sure its going to come out nice as ****. Your painter will suffice, im not educated on how much things should cost, so i figure ill as around and get opinions, Im supposed to call him tonight for some transfer of funds.
Im just worried if yall do a CAI and cant get a tuner than can custom tune, it will run lean, of course a good tuner you do carry with custom tunes would do im sure,
What is an SCT, if its a tuner than can do custom tunes, how much to put her on my truck
Thanks jesse, I love my job and wouldnt do anything different. It is nice to know people appreciate it, we forget sometimes.
