I would assume Unleashed & Leading Edge Tuning would be able to give you pretty much any combo you wanted. Not very familiar with these guys, but 5Star & MPT are two other names I have heard bandied about for the F150, you can check them out as well.MontanaV said:

Alright, probably wrong thread for this but, wanted your all's opinion (pro's, con's, suggestions) since you all have been very engaged in my issues which I'm very thankful for. My night consisted of a lot of reading and Youtube.
1. Plugs SP534 - for sure will be swapped with .030 gap
2. SCT Live Wire TS -
3. AFE Mag force stage 2 pro 5R Intake
4. AFE Mach Force XP 4 inch Cat Back exhaust
I will let Unleashed or whomever the tuner's will be chime in on these add on's as well, just wanted some unbiased opinions first. Thanks all and have a great weekend.

I'll chime in...
1. Good
2. I don't know that I'd spend the extra money for a TS personally unless you're going to mount it in the truck and use it to display data. Money saved could be spend on other more important items. Just stick with the X4, I've had no issues with either of mine for the SHO or F150.
3. Intakes for the SHOs haven't shown lots of performance increases. For the F150's I though there were a few that showed some okay gains but the OE stuff does a pretty decent job with air flow.
4. Cat back exhaust will make things sound good but again not do a lot from a performance stand point, IMO. If you want good power/torque gains you want some down pipes w/ that exhaust upgrade. Then you'll see some REALLY good bumps in things.
I'm sure the others will chime in. Those are just my opinions based on what I've read and know. I'm sure there will be other views.

MontanaV FYI think it will be best if you start a New Topic IMO and would make certain all the recalls are up to date and perform some basic maintenance to make sure she's running to its fullest potential and try to find yourself a tuner friendly dealer especially if you have warranty before the mod bugs begin IMHO.

I agree...I'll start the new thread for sure. I didn't find any recalls to date and as for tuner friendly dealers, there isn't much out in my area, unfortunately. I don't plan on getting to crazy, just looking for tuning programs for towing and MPG. I appreciate the lookout though. I definitely don't want to create more problems for myself. Thanks again!
