Installed my ts chip the other day. The one that comes with the 6 tunes already burnt to it. When I put it on stock setting it seems to have way less power than stock. When it is on 140 seems like not as much power as 80 and 100hp just more smoke. Is this normal?

 

Nope...mine ain't like that...did you clean the contacts real good?

 

The "way less power than stock" may possibly mean that a previous owner had a flash programmer at one point and left one of the performance calibrations on the PCM when he sold the truck. "Stock" is "stock". It's a stock binary that simply takes up one of the six allocations on the chip. Once a chip is installed on the PCM, the internal memory is bypassed rendering useless whatever programming is flashed on the PCM.

The 140 will smoke more than the 80 and 100. In this instance, it's very possible (and likely if you were to actually check your high pressure oil system pressure and programmed mapping) that the pump is being asked to do something it can't. When the ICP tanks, the pulse width goes way up which creates a ton of smoke and a severe loss in power.

But gee, Ralphie, I thought that SMOKE = POWER.

 

Ok this makes sense about the flash programer. So the flash program is no longer on there? Should I get it flashed back to stock? Or the stocks setting on the ts is the actual stock setting.the 80 and 100 setting seem the the best the 140 deffinatly has less than the 140.
