That's over 9 weeks! What's Mike doing, starting every program from scratch on punchcards?
(Mike, please don't put me at the bottom of the list, joking is one way of coping with the wait.:o

I'm waiting patiently too. It'll be worth the wait though.

What's the saying? Good things come to those who wait.

I thought that I'de be doing drop shackles too but I found out the other day that there is already a set on there. I was looking forward to a little bit of wrenching. I'll tell you, even with the Western Chassis 2" shackles that are on there the rear of this Lightning sits pretty high. I guess I'm going to have to do hangers and shocks too. Someday.

Tuning should make this great truck even better. I'll soon find out!

Faxed my stuff in on 2/23, just saw today that my credit card was verified for
the charge (at least a $379 charge was verified.) So hoping that pretty soon
it will be shipping out...

Did you already receive yours Krohbar? I remember you had to send it back for something or other, but when did you fax in your CPWs?

As stated before, I faxed mine on 2/27, so hopefully next week I'll get it. I also ordered the AF1 with the XCal II, and for 2nd day shipping, was only an extra $22.00 or so.

I honestly don't mind the wait, only wish I lived closer to TP for those Dyno Days. You gotta realize the workload TP has, plus moving to new shop, Mike with flu, AND Dyno Days.....give 'em a break!

I faxed mine Feb.22nd and recieved it the April 10th. Hopefully you guys that are still waiting will recieve it Friday so you can play with it this weekend. It absolutely worth the wait. I predict I may not ever own another Ford truck without this product in it.

I can't comment on any mpg gains but the feel of the vehicle is just great now. I have a bone stock expy and don't plan on any further mods but I'm not disappointed with this purchase at all, even with the long wait!

Yeah, beowulf, got it. Can't remember the exact fax date, it was maybe the 22nd of Feb? Got the unit last week of March, had to do a strategy read. Got the tunes via e-mail 1st week of April, but I was on a cruise. Loaded them up just this last Sunday. Running 87 Max. I'm sort of a cheap azz tho, premium is way up there again. Haven't decided if I'm gonna bite the bullet and load the 91 Max tune or not. With it being motorcycling weather, I probably will since the bike will handle some of the daily commuting.

I got a call yesterday that mine was shipping but due to the computer code I would have to confirm the programming and then they will email me the programming. I'm perfectly happy waiting to get it right.

Don't know myself but I think I read somewhere that the cost of the premium V/S the performance of premium tune covers the cost.Providing that your foot can stay off the floor most of the time.
