Hello all, just bought a 2006 f150 w/5.4L V8 FI SOHC engine 4x4 Supercrew, with about 180,000 miles on it. It had all of its oil changes on schedule, and regular maintenance (plugs at 100,000). Clean, looks great, and runs fine. So I was looking onto getting a Troyer performance programmer for the truck, and as I looked at their website I noticed they have packages, with exhaust and intake. I had planned on picking up a K&N intake (Although the Troyer option was about the same price with better numbers), and a new exhaust which am yet to decide on. Kinda like the cherry bombs. Anyways, I guess i am asking if it is ok to mix an match with these programmers or should I go for a kit? Any recommendations? I was also wondering if all the modifications would be stressful for an engine with all those miles on it, and if there was anything I needed to check out before I shock the system so to speak. I had a 93 f-150 with the straight six for years and years. Beat the hell out of it, and she always ran great. Not a flashy thing but tough as nails. I have heard these engines have had some problems, and since I ran the six for so long I am not accustomed to worrying about my engine. But I got a little money and a family and needed a back seat so here I am. Thanks

 

The mods won't be bad for the engine as long as you don't over do it with the programmer.

You can mix and match the items tih no issue, too.

Also, there are a bunck of progammer makers, so do your homework.
