If you're just looking for an "off the shelf" chip, the TS isn't awful, although there are multiple people that will burn you some custom tunes for your truck. Tony Wildman can tune a TS chip, or (and the route that I will be going) is a DP-tuner chip. Check them out and see what you think

ALSO get gauges, or at minimum a pyrometer first so you can keep an eye on EGT's

Dont get the Edge programmer, Bad things happen. I would get the TS chip. Basic TS chips will work well on your stock truck and if you ever get larger injectors or anything like that, you can send the TS chip to any custom tuner and they will be able to burn their tunes onto it. Keep in mind that your stock injectors will only allow for about 50hp above stock so if you get a chip with a 140hp tune, you wont be getting 140hp... Like said above, get some gauges... Also, did you replace the downpipe with your exhaust? That is the most restrictive part...

Tony's chip starts at $300. I'd go that route before you went with the TS. Do the 6637 air intake and put the money saved toward gauges.
