Best Tuner,Chip,Programmer for 2002 7.3 Diesel
#16
Take it from me, i've had alot of the tunes, and here's what i ended up with after a few years:
stock, hi idle, 60tow, 80 economy, and 140 agressive. Theres no difference between 120 and 80 for me, 80's a little stronger if anything. THe only reason you get 140 is not for all out performance, it's for the smoke factor. You CANT own a diesel and not enjoy rolling out some nice black coal every now and then.

Thanks for the info. I understand about EGTs, trans temp, and boost. I am sure something will be done with the exhaust.
Last question is how much egt's do these things take. I am sure no more than 1350-1400* for a sustained amount of time would be ok right?
O and how much boost will i be seeing, 25lbs maybe?
Thanks Adam

Tony Wildman www.totaldieselperformance.com
Custom chip & gauges. I have his economy tune (18-19 mpg highway), tow tune, heavy tow, high idle, NTWITA (race, 140). Great tuner and he does not charge for chip reburns when your mods/upgrades call for modifications.
I totally agree with bigsteve1969, exhaust, air intake & gauges are a must with any chip.
I originally bought the predator programmer for $375, after installing T Wildman's custom chip the predator did not comapare.
Daily drive tune 350 hp, 700 torque, tow tune 305 hp, 603 torque

You dont have to worry about EGT's at ALL if you are not towing a trailer. If you are towing one though, and have a small hill to crest that will only last a few seconds,(Less than 20 or so), you can push the EGT as high as you want... it won't hurt it. There's guys running hot like 1700+ EGT for a long time, and not hurting the engines. Its just repeated short blasts though. But, if you are going to sustain a temperature for a long time, make it less than 1300.

I would not waste my money on a DP tuner chip because I had one! I prefer Total Diesel Performance
