Question Another chip question

Didn't want to hijack another thread. Does anyone do a really good single position chip? I've been using a 60hp superchip for several years and its been ok but I think there is a little more in the old girl even before I install a set of stage I injectors. I don't need high idle because I already have an apcm, and certainly don't want stock tunes for anything and with over 300,000 miles on her I really don't think racing is a good ideal but don't get me wrong , I don't drive like grandma either. So I'm wondering if there is a chip good for towing which I only do occasionally and usually its below 10K and makes a little more power than my superchip.

Get in touch with dp tuner they can flash you PCM to anything they offer tuning wise, like 50 bucks I think.. No chip needed! That's if you can be without your truck for a coupls days... For shipping there and back.. Just a thought

I recently took my superchip out due to touchy throttle and it slammed the tranny hard,the power loss is there but it shifts soooo much nicer,think I will be shopping around too for better stuff,this one is quite old PO told me.

Thanks for the info, checked out their web site, I think I will call them after Christmas.

I didn't notice any difference in shifting with or without the chip and throttle has been like any other powerstroke I've driven but when I pulled the chip to pull codes it was like driving with an dropped anchor.

I had my PCM flashed by DP and like it a lot. I've since done some power mods and will be getting a chip soon but I would never hesitate to do business again with them.

I purchased a TS 6 position chip and used it with stock injectors. It has stock/high idle/+50/+75/+100/+140 settings.... With the stock injectors, I could tell a pretty good difference with the +50 and +75 but above that nothing more.. Installed the Rosewood stage ones and Terminator T500 hpop, and Whoa Nelly!!! It runs better in the stock setting now than it did in any other settings before...And each setting adds just that much more!
Almost afraid to run it above +75 now. Scared I'll brake something. Injector rebuild/upgrade=$525.00---- T500 hpop=$250. Best money I ever spent on a vehicle.
