could it be

i bought the truck and asked the did it have a chip in it? he said not when they owned it. it had what i think look likes a overboost kit on it and o hole drilled in the intake tube. Is it possible that the was a chip or programmer in it at one time and someone lets just say had it on a 60hp setting and then pulled it w/o returning it back to stock. would the computer still act as it is running that 60hp tune?

Post up a pic of the hole in the intake tube. Could have just had a boost gauge on the truck at some time in the past. If the truck had a chip in it and it was removed, then it would default back to stock programming. You can pull the PCM and see if there's a chip still physically on the board. Follow these instructions to pull the PCM to see if there is a chip in it or if the contacts have been cleaned off. Welcome to guzzle's DP Tuner's Chip Installation Web Page

KEYS ON THE WORKBENCH!!!! while messing with the PCM.

Now if someone downloaded a HP setting to the PCM using a programmer, then it is possible it's still in that setting. A little more difficult to detect.

If it was a Chip and they pulled it, then it would default back to whatever tuning is on the PCM.
