F-150 Performance Tune
Delivers a Proven 20 - 25 RWHP Gain
Alternative Auto is proud to announce the release of a performance tune for the ’04-’05 Ford F-150 equipped with the 5.4L 3-valve engine and automatic transmission.
If your tired of the lagy, poor response of the throttle-by-wire feature that the new F-150’s have, and your looking for crisper shifts, better throttle response and a host of other features then look no further then Alternative Auto’s new performance flasher for your ’04-05 Ford F-150 pick-up.
Using the latest SCT software and their newest hand held flasher called the Xcalibrator, we’ve come up with a performance tune for the new F-150’s that’s a must for those looking for performance gains that can actually be felt under normal driving conditions.
Here’s just some of the many features and enhancements you’ll find with our performance flash:
- Raised rev and speed limiters - We found more horsepower and torque by simply raising the rev limiter and extending the Wide-open-throttle shift points further.
- Advanced and more aggressive spark curve geared toward premium fuels.
- Much better throttle response that is more linier to pedal movement.
- No torque converter lock-up in any gear except “Over-Drive” at speeds greater then 65mph - this makes for less hunting, bogging and unnecessary downshifts at intermediate speeds and driving conditions.
- Disabled torque reduction during up-shifts - Stock programming limits engine power during automatic up-shifts, this is felt as a nosing over or lag between gears.
- Crisper more noticeable shifts, but not too firm at part throttle and much firmer at wide open throttle.

This is the one performance computer tune that will instantly be noticed – delivering a proven 20-25 RWHP and a 3-4 tenth reduction in ETs at the 1/4mile as well as improved 0-60 mph times. Our test F-150 was a loaded Super-cab FX4 with the stock 3.73 gears and absolutely no other performance mods done to it.
Xcalibrator Flash Tuner
The Xcalibrator Flash Tuner will reprogram your Ford ECM with the custom performance tune that we load onto it. Before installing the new tune it will download and save your factory calibrations so that the vehicle can easily be returned to stock.
- Can hold up to 3 Custom Calibrations
- Retains Factory Calibration for easy restoration back to the stock calibration
- Easy installation. No tools necessary
- Easy to use push button & LED interface
- Quickly Flashes PCM via OBD-II diagnostic port

Chips, Flash Devices and Custom Tuning
It’s What’s Inside that Counts
At Alternative Auto we develop custom performance tunes that are based on our vast experience and knowledge of how to make impressive amounts of power while retaining stock-like driveability. It is our experience, philosophies and methods that elevate us to a level much higher than other tuners.
There are many other companies that sell calibrator or flash devices like the Xcalibrator and custom burned chips. We want to make it clear that when it comes to these devices, it’s important to remember “It’s What’s Inside that Counts”. Even though we (tuners) may all be using the same type of software and even the same type of flashing devices with access to the same parameters, it’s how well thought out the tune and calibration is on the inside that counts. Even though some competitors offer similar devices, sometimes at a lower cost, they can not equal our experience and knowledge of how to make Ford vehicles perform and maintain stock-like driveability and reliability.
Many mail order tuners in the country who sell tunes only offer a very limited program that simply raises or remove rev limiters, speed limiters and adds a global degree or two of timing. We take the time to sort out much more then the basics. Especially on modern Fords with the automatic electronically controlled transmissions with lock-up torque converters. We unlock a substantial amount of improved drivability on today’s Automatic Fords because of how we reconfigure torque converter lock-up and torque reduction during up-shift. We provide a complete tune with many additional changes such as turning electric fans on earlier, recalibrating speedos for gear and tire changes, turn off “Check-Engine” lights from exhaust and other performance enhancing changes, make the fly-by-wire throttle respond better, etc…
So be educated, “Its what’s inside” that really counts these days when it comes to custom tunes installed in hand held tuner devices or custom chips and no one does it better than Alternative Auto Performance.
