Chips, programers, V6

Ok I am trying here to see if anyone knows. I finally have some cash to work on my truck, wanted to try to push a bit more out of her. Anyone know of chips, programers, or anything for the 4.2?

I agree, if you have the cash to drop on custom tuning it is well worth it. I've been running XCAL2\Troyer tunes for the past 4 years, love em!

You are wrong but right in the same fashion.

From Edge: "We do not offer a programmer for the late model 4.2L, but we do support the 97-03 4.2L. If you are interested, give us a call and we'll see what we can do for you."

I've been using Mike Troyer's custom tune delivered via a SCT X3. Completely different truck. It's like night and day. Every once in awhile, I flash my truck back to the stock tune to remind myself just how good I have it.

Check out VMP tuning as well. He does his via Xcal 2&3. I love what Justin did with my truck with just a few email tunes.

Thanks people I am looking at some. I know it might sound weird to tune the 4.2L but I love my truck and want to make it my own. FI10Fires Dude I love your truck, nice wheels it looks, like what I am trying to do with the headlights. I am trying to decide chrome or black wheels, I want to make it aggressive looking.

Derek (dirtyd88) has an 01...theyre all the same engine. The NBS are a tad heavier, but still good from what I hear.
