That is the kit I was running on my 02 L. I have mixed feelings on the programmer because I had heard of too aggressive tunes from diablo sport. I too want to know if anyone has info because i was going to run it on my 04 L.

I have read that going "Custom" is the way to go..and that on a 00, program 4 i think, 90maf and puley program is good. I JUST cant stand the stock program...what a SLUG! So I take your reply as a negative??:confused:

LOTS and LOTS of nightmare stories about rpmoutlet - I would stay away - do a quick search on f150online for rpm outlet

I would also stay away from the diablo tuner - thier stock lightning tunes are VERY agressive - like BANG agressive

Terri can get those chips reburned for you. I would not buy squawt from RPM. The post Doug pointed ya to, is just one of many I have read just like it.

If you want a predator....I will sell you mine for 250 bucks...but your going to need to get it tuned for your truck.

I like the SCT programmer.....mine works great. You don't want to know who tuned my truck most recently, and gave me 2 tenths lower E.T., on less timing and more fuel. Terry can fix you up with a tune from the same guy:D .

First........WELCOME NUEB.....:d .


Now to your question...........I would go Superchips, either way. They have a SCT programer and a chip.....single, 4 way.....or 2 way.

See Terry(L8Apex)....he can tighten ya up.

You can use the dyno at speedworks in Lewisville. They will let you rent it by the hour on week days. I have done it several times. Let me know if you two girls want to do this and i will call a fellow over there and see if he'll cut you a decent price. Look to spend about 100-150 an hour for the dyno. It may sound like alot, but if you want it tuned right....dyno tune is the ONLY FRICKING WAY!!!!

Terry can also get you a mail order tune....unless he has pissed off his connection....LOL....J/K.

I bet you can ge some nibbles on that. Hopefully Terry sees this thread. He could rent it for the day and get 5 or 6 tunes set up.

I had forgotten about the 10 bucks.....

The plan is to hit the last couple of the season....FFW will be over in September... at least for me. I don't plan to hit Cali or Arizona. No points in those two and too darn much traveling already.

I will be looking forward to seeing you.

Take it easy,
