Stage 1 Performance Chip for Ford F-150 F-250 (1996-2026) | Unlock Horsepower

Wake Up Your Workhorse: The Ultimate F-Series Upgrade

You bought an F-Series because you need a truck that works as hard as you do. Whether you are hauling lumber to the job site in an F-150 or towing a fifth-wheel with your F-250 Super Duty, you know these trucks are "Built Ford Tough." But let's be honest—factory tuning leaves a lot to be desired.

Does your 5.4L Triton feel sluggish off the line? Is your EcoBoost suffering from pedal lag? Or maybe your 6.7L Power Stroke is burning through diesel faster than you'd like? The factory detunes your engine to cater to the "average" driver, leaving massive potential on the table.

The GTE Stage 1 Performance Chip OBDII Module is the solution. It safely optimizes your air/fuel ratio, ignition timing, and transmission shift points to give your truck the low-end grunt and highway efficiency it was actually built to have.

Why Your F-150 or F-250 Needs This Chip

Stop settling for "good enough." Transform your daily drive and towing experience with a module designed specifically for the heavy demands of Ford trucks.

• Stop the Fuel Burn: F-Series trucks are thirsty. By optimizing your fuel maps, you can gain up to +4 MPG. That’s money back in your pocket every time you fill up that 36-gallon tank.
• Towing Authority: Gain up to +19.1 ft·lbs of torque exactly where you need it—in the low-to-mid RPM range. Pull trailers, boats, and equipment with less downshifting and less strain.
• Unlock Horsepower: Add up to +20HP for confident merging and passing power, even when fully loaded.
• Fix the "Dead Pedal": Electronic throttles can be laggy. This chip sharpens signal processing for up to 50% faster throttle response.
• Protect Your Engine: Optimized combustion means a cleaner burn, smoother idle, and less engine stress over the life of your truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

I tow a travel trailer. Will this help on hills?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons F-Series owners buy our chip. The added torque and improved shift points help hold gears longer and pull up grades without the engine screaming.

Will it work on my Lifted F-150?

Yes. Larger tires add weight and rotational mass, which kills performance. This chip helps regain that lost "pep" and corrects shift patterns for the heavier load.

Is this just a cheap resistor?

No. Do not confuse this with the $20 scams on eBay. The GTE Stage 1 is a sophisticated OBDII computer that actively communicates with your Ford's ECU to optimize performance maps safely.

Does it work with the 10-speed transmission?

Yes. It is compatible with the older 4-speed/6-speed automatics and the newer 10-speed transmissions, helping to smooth out clunky shifting.
