RED Y2K SPORT, thnaks for the info! ill do that. it seems like the super chip is thing to do for the F150 for the money.

the only thing that i dont like is the "good
gas" that i have to put in. Gas is real expensive her in Cali.

thanks
dante.

You are welcome. Gas is pricey here in Colorado also. 91 has been as high as 1.98 in the mountains, 87 has been 1.89. Althought the "Chip" is not a mileage chip, folks are reporting better mileage with it, IF they can keep their foot out of it!! Read some of the threads over there and you will come across all that stuff. If premium costs 10 cents per gallon more, that is only $2.50 per tank, not bad for a lot better performance etc. They also make a "Flip Chip", can run regular on one seting and premium on the other when towing etc, but you don't get all the performance benefiets of running premium. It's all in that section, or post your questions for Mike Troyer and he will take care of you. Good Luck
