yea..adjust the power up on the fly its a GREAT idea..LOL
no the SCT isn't as convenient but if you want good power and REAL transmission tuning gotta go SCT (custom tunes not canned tunes).
I agree with Imelmo..if you have a lil bit of money to spend go ahead and at a bare minimum block off the EGR cooler. And a EGR delete kit is highly recommend if you are planning on larger injectors.
I've built alot of 6.0's. Both with banks packages and sct. They both work well. The sct will outrun a banks though. But you have to shut the truck off and wait ten minutes anytime you want to change anything on the sct. Not necessarily bad but kind of a pain. The banks you can just turn the switch. As far as other upgrades I would do the head studs if you can afford it, it is much better to fix it before it starts leaking. Your tranny is probably fine for now as long you have good fluid in it. Just my $.02
I agree with that the sct can make more peak power. But your average guy that just wants to pull his trailer to the lake and be able to maintain the speed limit. I would recommend the Banks for its reliability. If a guy wants a hot street truck that he occasionally takes to the track, I would recommend a sct unit with custom tunes on it. It all depends on what your uses for the truck are gonna be.
When Was the '04 Originally purchased? Your 5yr/100K warranty may already be expired. As for removing it.. Turn the Setting back to stock and Follow the wiring to the Plugs and unplug it (Replug in any Factory plugs that may have been unplugged if they were plugged into the Banks setup)

100k warrenty still good but the 5year has expired. Mainly I want the 100k mile warrenty to be valid if something goes south on my engine; and with the Banks Ford my blame any problems on the Banks system. Also, I dont want to jack up my engine and from what I've heard the Banks systems is no good for the 6.0 lit.
