OOohhhhh Once you get the gauges, send the chip back in to have 140 added. Then sit down, shut up and hold on!!

I have a Banks Ottomind chip on mine because I didnt want to get crazy, I just wanted a little more HP & torque but if I installed a DP tuner would I have to start upgrading other things for reliability. I already have gauges, exhaust, Banks turbo wheel and intercooler.

The only thing you might want to add from there is a better intake and probably a valvebody for the tranny like a BTS or a Transgo tugger, but with what you have already, you will really see a difference in a DP.

So an 80e DP tune out performs a superchips perf tune? I am running a superchips perf tune right now and I love the HP and TQ gains but there is one particular shift that bothers me under heavy acceleration. So you did the F5? or F6? How much was the total for the tuner with just the 80e tune?
