So y'all can see my mods list down below and I just installed a set of rosewood stage 1's. On my ts I take it the first position is stock and the next is high idle and the next click I noticed it has a little more pep but the remaining clicks do nothing for performance. This change chip was in the truck when I bought it and I was told that with stock injectors you won't notice any difference past the first click on the performance side (#3 click in this case) well now in addition to everything else I now have injectors and still don't notice anything. The HPOP is not original it isn't a terminator but it looks to be fairly new it says Bosch on it. So what gives? Do I have to do something else now to?

 

It's probably canned tunes. You'll need custom tunes for stageI's

 

well what is the point of the canned tunes in the first place if they don't work? then basically your spending 300+ for nothing because you have to send it off. again. and then having to spend another 150 - 200 to get it tuned correctly.

 

There really only meant for people with stock trucks. Anyone planning on upgrades should just wait.

 

The way I was told was that the first two settings of 50 and 75 HP are only good for stock injectors because they can only handle so much fuel. The next two tunes, on mine anyway, are 100 and then 140 but I will not see that until I get Stage 1s. Just in case it helps, my TS chip goes like this:

Stock
High Idle
50 hp
75 hp
100 hp
140 hp

 

yea i don't see any difference with the high end tunes even with the stage 1's and everything else iv'e done. I'm not going to have it reprogrammed until i get the BTS in there in dec. whos the best guy to have do the reporgramming? i know tony wildman charges 150 to do reprogramming.

 

I has TS canned tunes on stageI's and they did nothing. Then went with PHP which was a night and day difference but was to smokey so then I got BTS tunes and they were perfect. In the 140 setting it drove like a stock truck till you pushed the go pedal then it was ***** to the wall with very little smoke

 

Mike, does the PHP just reprogram the TS or is it a different programmer altogether? I'll be getting Stage 1s here pretty soon and wanna make sure I have all my ducks in a row.

 

Yes PHP can use your TS chip

 

I have also heard gear head is good power with much less smoke. I want tw but so many say smokey. Now don't get me wrong...when somebody tailgates me....I WANT ALL THE SMOKE!!! I know its wrong but grrrrr!!

 

This is good info. I also have a ts chip. it was customed tuned to my stage 2 injectors. Smokes like a freight train when you apply the throttle in just about every setting. I like the power, but not the smoke. so, can the smoke be dialed out of it? Without losing the power? Does the chip have to be removed everytime it gets reprogrammed? Not trying a hijacking, just seems im kindof in the same boat.

 

Who's tunes? ^

 

Don't really know, the local shop that installed my injectors sent it out to be reprogrammed. I do know they got it done local to dfw area.

 

Might have been wildman, I see he's in Rhome Texas. But not sure.

 

Can BTS do programming? if so ill just have them do it when they are installing the trans....
