Question what chip do i choose?

ok heres the deal. i have a 95 ford f-150 4x4 with a 4 inch suspention and 3 inch body lift. i'm runnin 35 by 12.5 tires and 4:10 gears. the motor is a 5.0L 302 with ram air intake, helix spacer, msd ignition, mild compcam, headman headers, and 3inch exhast from the headers to dynomax mufflers. the tranny is a 4 speed auto with OD and a stage 2 electronic shift kit by B&M. now i was wondering what is the best chip or programer i can get for my truck to get the most hp/torque out of it, also fuel economy (not as important).

Your mostly limited to hard chips, but I believe sniper has a tuner that will reflash your PCM. I think they call it Delta forces.

Super chips is the only hard chip I have any experience with, so I would recommend that.

We sell alot of Jet chips for older GM gas trucks. We havent played with the 89505 from Jet for your truck. Hypertech also has a hard chip, and Superchips 1100. The Superchips does work well.

That depends on the tune burned on it. With a hard chip on a gas motor, I wouldn't expect more 11hp and possibly 19ft/lbs. Which is pretty good for gas motors with canned tunes.
