modifications for better towing

Just wondering if anyone has tried installing performance chips in there TV for better performance when towing. I know very little about them but have been reading some online about performance modifications for engines. My specific engine is a 4.6l in an F150 4x4 3.73gears . It has a towing package and tows my 3050lb (empty) camper fine, but a little more bang is better if it is not too expensive. Some of the more expensive chips have dash mounted displays which would seem to be helpful in monitoring the engine / trans etc. Edge is one brand I read about. runs about 300-350.00. Just wondering if anyone had tried such a thing.

mfg have started getting wise to performance tuning and warranty claims. My son's new (2013) ford f250 work truck has a sticker under the hood above the radiator that basically says installation of any performance enhancing devices that are not CARB approved will result in warrany exclusion for any failures. See your owners manual for further warranty exclusions.

Since they specifically state that exclusion you won't be able to fall back on MM warranty act to get coverage either since MM says mfg can set exclusions on warranty coverage for aftermarket parts if it is called out in the warranty.

Now try finding a tuner that has a CARB approval number!

Now, if your out of warranty, your on your own anyway.
