Which chip to get?

good one? My other question is that I read that on the 1995-1998 you can only increase the horsepower by 80 but on the 98-03 you can increase them by 140. Is that true? Thank you.. And here is the chip I'm leaning toward: http://m.thoroughbreddiesel.com/store/p/192-TS-Performance-6-Position-Chip-7-3L-Ford-95-97-Automatic.aspx

Well guess half my post got deleted but before that I said that I have been looking at the places go get chips.. I looked at ktperformance, alligator performance and thouroughbred deisel and I'm leaning toward thouroughbred.. They all seem to have differant prices so are some better than others? I want stock high idle +50 hp, 100hp, +140hp and valet. My truck is a 1997 f250 automatic supercab longbed 7.3

What your looking at here are canned tunes. If you don't have any mods then they can only do so much, like 50 hp.

i prefer DP tunes.
everyone has their own opinion.
you can add as much power as you want, but to get any more than about 50 hp you will need to modify the injectors, turbo, exhaust, intake, HPOP, and the list goes on.

When I ordered my AFE air filter from Thoroughbred Diesel they had a special going on. A TS chip with canned tunes on it for an extra $100. Gear head was $175 for the tunes, if you want to call them that, so that's $275 for 'custom' tunes from them. If you can find a chip somewhere, tuners will do chips cheaper. Look on ebay also, that's where I got my third chip for $100.

How about 370.00?
advancediesel.net is selling the chip with canned tunes for 219.00.
send to TW for reburn for 150.00.
Looks like 369.00 plus probably some shipping.
