performance tuner/chip ?

[mlheppl]

I know this is way off topic for a reefing forum, but thought someone might be able to help.

I'm looking into putting a performance tuner in my 99 Ford superduty PU w/ the powerstroke diesel. The tuner I'm looking at is the superchip model with 3 performance settings. I've also looked at the tuner from Edge. Does anyone here have any experience with these tuners? Is there another brand of tuner that I should be looking into? Can anyone recommend an online site to order from?

Here's one of the cheapest places I've found so far.

I know for a diesel these chips seem to make them worth the money, Banks also makes a system for your diesel truck.

The problem with all drop in chips is that there is give and take. Your a bit far for me to be much help. What you need is a decent programable chip. Not one with just three setting. The truck is then run on the dyno and the system programed. Drop in chips usually tweek just the powerband and really screw-up the cruise settings which will cause long term damage.

Tuned properly you can easily get 100 and a bunch more torque. You also get premature transmission failure, warped cylinder heads, crack walls, and impacted rod bearings. The object is to have it tuned to optimize not maximize.

I have heard the best things about BANKS. In fact, i know they make a total "power package" for the cummins but not sure about the power stroke.

My buddy at work added the Banks "6 pack" to his 2005 F350 diesel. 6 adjustable settings, and I think it adds like a 100HP.

LMAO BCT 182. I was reading an article on Chevrolet's financial woes. If they don't get their act together in the next couple of years, there won't be anybody driving new Chevy's.

Here's a link to the article.
