Well I finally did it. I bought an SCT x3 yesterday with 3 custom tunes. Should be in by Wendsday or Thursday. Cant wait to hook her up and see what she does. I got the 87 daily/economy 91 Tow and 91 performance.

Damn you and your OBD-II I sooo wish I could install awesome mods like that, but they just don't make any fun multi-tune chips for OBD-I

Be sure to update us on how it turns out

Lol sorry about that. I sure will cant wait to. Im like a kid waiting for christmas lol

I don't know how much it will help your gasser but I love it on my 6.0. I just picked up another xcal2 off of Ebay for my wifes excursion.

Awesome man!! From what ive heard its gonna make a pretty good difference in power! And if you don't mind me asking... how much did it cost???

We've got both ends of the spectrum... There's a piggy back chip for the computer which only offers 1 tune, no 3-position switch or anything fancy like that; this is what I've got on my truck, a Superchips 1100.

Then at the other end of the spectrum there's something like a TwEECer, which allows you to customize EACH engine/trans parameter manually.

What I'd like to have, is just a 3-position switch where I can switch-on-the-fly between eco/tow/extreme, and as far as I know, there's nothing like that offered.

I have one of the old blue ones for my explorer. 87 performance, 93 torque, and 93 performance. I actually prefer the 93 torque one for the way I drive....well...back when I could afford the 93 octane.

........so when you gonna order a supercharger?? You will have "full pulls" all day long then!! lol

Well ya it wont be much hp or torque i think they said like 46 hp or something like that i forget the torque but it cost me 380 shipped. So ya it was pricy but i think it was worth it lol. Well if you buy me the supercharger I will put it on how about that lol. That would be sweet but they want way to much money. And now I bought this I had to take my truck in to the dealer today cause i rolled down the window to get the dew off this morning on the driver and passanger one and only the driver one came up. Let me tell you it was a cold ride in even with the heat blasting. Lol. So my chip will prolly be here wednesday and my luck no truck to test it out with lol

Hey f150_fx4, I've been meaning to ask... How old are you? I can't seem to figure out if you're 20 or 70. I had you pinned for a younger guy but you've got quite a bit of money at your disposal. If you're my age then you need to teach me your money making secret

Wow you pinned 20 right on the dot!

He works hard for his money. Im sure thats his secret lol Hey blaise when u gonna get me a job where you work! lol jk

O and a drive to beat an old powerstroke in a drag race lol

lol ya skandocious u are right I am 20. I am a union carpenter. I make almost 20 a hour and still live at home. So my weekly pay check pretty much go straight into the bank except for gas. I goto work like 50 minutes away but car pool with 5 other ppl so i pay 20 a week so I have lots of money to spend lol. I dont plan on buying anything else anytime soon though. I got pretty much everything I want. I mean I would like to buy chrome bar inserts for my grill and led tail lights but that can wait for a while. Mike I will try but no gurantees. lol

o and mike sorry about your luck they really aint going to be hiring much this year are estimate for workers this year in october is suppose to be around 100 maybe less instead of 300

haha np man, i was just throwin that out there lol. You never know! Your mods list in your sig is growing lol

well I got it today. I plugged it in put it on 91 performance lowered the spark and used midgrade. This truck really woke up now she moves quickly. I love it so far. Didnt drive it to much yet. But this weekend Im going up north and pulling a pop up camper I know it aint much but we will see how it does on gas. Wish I had a little more of a challenge to pull lol. O well.

lol heck yea man. Have fun with the tuner!

Well just got back from up north pulling the pop up camper. Ya it wasnt big but it didnt suck as much gas as I thought. It was 80 one way and we had to come back yesterday didnt pull the camper and went back so I went about 320 miles 160 pulling the camper and all together used about a half tank. So not to bad I didnt think.

I just picked up an 08' FX4 and I'm partial to SCT over Edge. Who should I get one from if I want custom tunes already preloaded without having to dynotune the truck?
