Brad i wouldnt depend on just a chip. Thats what i did when i first got my truck, yeah it made a big difference, but looking back i wish i had done the actual mods (like the trans valvebody,or throttlebody for better response etc..)instead of relying on the chip.
Putting in a chip is a good way to see what the truck is capable of (as compared to what it felt like stock) Chances are you will always run some sort of program (fo the pulley etc..) But when you get the money, start changing some of the parts instead of depending on the chip. Its a lot better for the truck in the long run.
And dont get me wrong i ran a chip for about ... 11,000 miles or so, and when i pulled it to do the mods for real, the truck was unhurt.

He gained a huge grin, truck shifts like a real monster.
If you do no other mods, do that one.

Thanks guys for all the reply's I order one from psp and I'll let you know how it does. The only thing that might hurt me now is the heat in alabama it ran the 8.75 in 70 deg weather.
