They are no longer chips, now they use tuners. 5 star custom tuning is everyone's favorite. Searching will give you all the info you will ever need.

Everyone, and I mean everyone around the v10 section loves them. They use the SCT X3 device. Www.5startuning.com

Mike and his tuner is so good, in fact, that there's a Sticky devoted to him. Check it out, and don't overlook the poll results. You won't regret it!

Mike at 5 Star is great with service and questions. In the V10 section those 2 videos are from my truck and before the tunes the truck wasn't bad but after the tune it woke it up and has plenty of getty and go.

For the '99' I believe the guys changed the Y pipe which also helped.

Yeah 5 Star is the only way to go. Even the 87 octane Perf/tow tune is a huge improvement.
