Putting a Chip in my HD for sure, but

I'm wondering if I should wait on the chip until I get the other mods done....the exhaust and intake.

I just checked out Superchip's website and the chart shows a possible +36 HP for the HD engine (says Lightning actually, but hey, it's the same engine). I'm not sure if I'd have to have it reprogrammed AFTER adding a new intake and a new exhaust system. If so, I guess I'd rather wait on the chip and get those other mods done first.

Any advice here, you guys that've already been down this road?
(I'm also eager to find out where you guys are getting your chips from...)

You don't need a reburn for the intake or a cat-back. If you install the full exhaust I would get a reburn.
If your planning on installing a lower pulley I would buy that with the chip.

No, Not yet. It's just been too HOT.
I also work weekends so it's hard to get to the 1/4 mile track.

I installing my #8 tomorrow

Now I need another reburn

Talking

I added a chip first, the diablo , with outstanding permornace change! Then I added an air force one intake, it's HUGE, again with outstanding performance improvement. The blower has such a great sound when it has the air it really needs!
Next on tap is a 4lb upper pullley, it's a daily driver that I don't want too much ...HA HA... change done to it.

I've decided to go with the Diablo chip.
I'm now surfing, trying to find where I can pick it up the cheapest.
I've also decided to go with the JLP intake.

That should take care of the next two month's worth of disposable income. *LOL*

I'll wait to install the Diablo chip until I decide which # pullies to install upper and lower. My HD is my daily driver, so I'm considering this carefully. Any advice from fellow customized daily drivers is appreciated.
