Tried the link but it didn't bring me to any specific forum, so I'm not sure where you stand on the question.
One thing to remember....no tuner can give you displacement, compression or greater flow of fuel mixture. Your vehicle is already programmed to give you the optimal fuel to air ratio. A tuner can do things like change shift points and timing, but it can't change the basics you need to produce more power, at least not on any kind of appreciable level.
It takes you to the 87-96 F150 and larger forum. If you post the question there you will have Ford truck Gearheads from all over the country responding.
As to tuner not being able to give a change to air fuel and already being optimal A/F ratio I would disagree. We Dyno tune our 94 Lightnings 408 stroker all the time. Change it based on time of year, outside temp and altitude.
Optimal? Ford averages the tune to cover a wide range uses.
If all your looking at doing id buying a preprogramed chip off the net well it's a******shoot.
