If you want VXCF1, thats what they'll give you. Most people go to VXCF4 because 4 shifted better than 1 did.

I see you have an 05 EX. Do you like the strategy that you have, and what kind of mileage do you get? I just got my custom tunes today, and am thinking rollback. Got an 80 DD, 100, 120, and 140. They all shift like butter, and have good power, but mileage still seems subpar. I know I have a garbage strategy, just wish I rolled back before I paid for the tunes, and have to pay again.

I really dislike the EX's program. It shifts like crap and gets poor mpg. I averaged 14-15.5 when I used the Stock Ex computer. Then I changed over to a Truck PCM. With a 04 F-250-F350 PCM and the PHP FICM I'm up to 17.5 so far...Winter fuel...

I have a summer of traveling ahead so I should have some good base numbers to report. Otherwise the EX is sitting in the garage, so I have not had much of a chance to do any real hard core mpg tests with it. I'd like to get to 20 at 75 mph, but it may not be possible since they're so heavy.

Well the upgrade has been in now for a couple of days. Only running to and from work. Before 14.5-15.2 mpg. after about 60 miles or so looking at around 16.8-17. Still too early to get accurate readings, but some is better than none. Will install my programer this weekend and see if that ups it at all.

Installed the 100 hp program from my Predator after updating that also. The kick in the pants returned, blows black when you mash it Milage has not increased any. Pretty steady at 15.4 My '04 was in the 19+ range with the same trim. Don't know, but thinking I may have thrown my money out the window.

Not that it's really related, but Predator's programming is really terrible. You could probably do better stock or with something custom. JMHO
