What can I expect?

Here's the numbers for a plain jane stock truck with a 5.4 3V. Custom tunes as follows.
87oct up to 25hp
93oct up to 35hp
Add in CAI maybe a little more hp.
I don't recall the numbers for the canned tunes.
Just remember everyone's truck is different and responds differently to custom tunes, just depends on your driving style and HEX code.
Remember these are trucks not mustangs!
The biggest bang for your buck is a supercharger! But they are expensive and you have to stick with 91+oct gas.

Thanks, you always seem to eb the first to respond to me, those seem like good numbers, would love to S/C it but I can't afford that.

If I can squeeze out 30HP and 30TQ, and 1-2MPG I will be happy, don't plan on racing it, but I am looking for a 3rd gen camaro as a play toy.

Throw in a 383 with a 800CFM Holly, now thats something I can work on easily and get some big power from, I was raised learning about cars with carbs and how to squeeze power from a SB chevy.

Like I said previously every driver and their truck is different.
You may get 10-15% better milage with the 91-93oct perf custom tune over the 87-89 perf custom but I've seen varied numbers.
Ford motors used to be my bread and butter and dodges were my hobby. This EFI stuff is something else to try and understand.
Take care.
