'08 v10 upgrades

Hello. truck in sig belongs to my girlfriend. Mileage is hovering around 11.5 unloaded, mixed driving in the foothills of the northeast US. Power is OK (I'm I Cummins guy...) Otherwise, a great truck all around. Thinking about an intake and programmer. Little more power, but with emphasis on MPG increase. Let us know what ya'll think!

Bump. Anyone have any programmer suggestions for this rig? Any input would be appreciated.

I don't have one, but lots of V10 folks are raving about the 5Star tuning options. They have a few products from tuners to custom tunes.

Check out:
5 Star Tuning | Custom Dynomemeter Chassis Tuning Products and Services

And this discussion on it:
5 Star Tuning-LiveWire for 3v V10 - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

It sounds like they are great guys to work with. When I've got the budget for one of their LiveWires ($550!) I'm looking to get one.

I did the Air Raid intake system and the Diablo Sport Predator programmer. I put it on the "middle" setting, 91 octane and it has run super nice for over 42k. Mileage is about the same as you 11.5-12.2 depending on right foot. Power wise, I can meet or exceed any stock diesel and most programmed diesels, especially up to 70. That's up hills or flat. This is the best all around,most reliable engine that Ford or anyone else, ever made.
