SuperChip, Diablo, or a PSP custom chip. I know it all depends on the tuner, but what is the difference between the first two and the PSP chip? I am also going to get the cold air kit and a 4# lower pulley.

Thanks

 

I would do a search.... there really is no "right" tuner ya know? its whoever u feel mostcofortable spending your money with.....
But I would defintaely get some sort of dual program chip.....

 

No doubt a custom tuned Diablo.

 

Its all personal preference... I personally went with my local tuner (REM), and they did an awesome job! Great people to work with...

I read this board and listened to what people had to say when I was deciding on the chip I wanted to use. It all boils down to personal preference, and the tuner you want to use, different tuners burn different chips. I dont think there is any one chip or tuner that EVERYONE would agree is the best or worse. But I do agree that you should get a 2 or 4 program chip, this give you a little more flexability.

 

If possible, pick one that you can have tuned ON YOUR TRUCK. Seriously everyone makes good chips (I know, I have had a superchip, swanson chip, PSP 4-way and JDM - sorry, never tried Diablo and I'm through with all that, but I'm sure they're good too). But what might be a good chip for someone else might not be good for you. I really liked my PSP chip, but my buddy ordered one and hated it. Chips that I have bought have worked perfectly in friends' trucks but have caused detonation in mine - not good. Also, keep in mind that if you do mod's that are going to require your chip to be reburned (like big pulleys), you aren't going to be able to drive your truck while you are waiting (unless you have a spare chip). Most of the tuners are good with turnaround times, but it's still going to take a few days. If there is someone good locally, with a good dyno and A/F setup, go check them out. Go down to the track and talk to the guys about who they use, you should be able to get an idea of good tuners in the area. Then you can call them up and find out what kind of chips they can tune, so if you want to buy a chip through mail order you can at least have minor tweaks done locally. Finally, if you don't want to do any of that, at least decide how fast you want to go, then look at what chips/mods other people are using to go that fast. That should get you in the ballpark. These trucks have been around for a while now and there have been many people modifying them since day 1. One last thing: You should baseline your truck somehow as well. Take it to a dyno, or take it to the track (make sure to record the temps and pressures) or even use a G-tech (again record temps, pressures and location). This will help you figure out if you're going in the right direction. Even if you think you might only be doing a few mods, you may find out that it's an addiction ! And you'll be able to give other people feedback about what helped you.


Good luck!

I would avoid chips that have to be switched "key-off".

"I woulda beat ya if I had my chip in the RACE program
mode, but I can't switch while sitting at a light!!!!"

<grin>
