from what i have heard you can use it on multiple vehicles but you have to reprogram one back to stock inorder to unlock the programmer.

Exactly... You can use it on several trucks... just not at the same time. So if your truck is tuned for performance... that means your brother would have to be stock. If you wanted to let your brother use it then you would have to return your back to stock and then upload the performance tune into your brothers truck.

Only once vehicle at a time can be tuned.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

What are the best performance upgrades I can get without taking my truck to a professional mechanic? I should be to do most engine work.
Here is a list of mods that would gain you the most bolt on HP without going into the engine.

1. 4.56 GEARS - depending on your tire height 410's/4.56's. Personally if your tire hight is taller then 30" tall I would lean towards 4.56's.
2. ELECTRIC FAN - FLEX-A-LITE 180 FREE = 10RWHP ... You have a factory electric fan which will keep everything cool even without the clutch fan.
3. 2008 INTAKE MANIFOLD or our SULLIVAN ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLD -
4. 4.7L PERFORMANCE CAMS - H/O's, 206's or 212 Cams Im a fan of the factory H/O cams in HEAVY trucks or trucks that will be used for work or on the road oe when torque is needed most.
5. SUPERCHIPS FLASHPAQ - Great with up to 70mm throttle body and H/O cams.
6. HEADERS -
7. SINGLE 3" EXHAUST -
8. HIGH FLOW "Y" PIPE & MUFFLER -
9. 70-72MM THROTTLE BODY - F&B. Chose the largest Throttle body you can tune for. (70mm for Superchips & 72mm for SCT custom tune)
10. RACE PORTED HEADS -
11. CUSTOM PROGRAMMER - SCT CUSTOM TUNE (Needed with PORTED HEADS & or 206, 212, 212x, 218 or greater custom cams & or 72mm throttle body)
12. 2800 STALL CONVERTER - This will get you off the line quicker by allowing your engine to rev to approx 2800 before the transmission engages... Under part throttle would would not notice much of a difference at all... but put your foot down and the RPM's will rocket to the desired RPM getting you closer to your RPM power band.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

SPEED SAFE, NICK

I got mine from AIRRAM. For the Efan, I have a writeup I can send you. PM me w/your email. I can't attach anything here... AIRRAM beat with the Comp Cams link. They should be coming soon. If they are as good as the 206 cams or better, we should be in good shape!

Default Power Wire

So is it safe to say with the Power wire added to the AIT sensor I should return it to the original location?

Default Flex lite fan
