TS-6 position chip

looking into getting a TS chip from Beans, and would like to hear some opinions about the tunes and what tunes people are running from him. do the EGT's stay in check with his tunes? how does the tranny shift with the tunes? do they have good safe power? thanks for any respones!

i have 6637, 4" exhaust, and ported compressor housing.

I have PHP tunes and love them. I have also had DP tunes and considered Gearhead as well in the recent past.

Just keep in mind that what works for one might not work for another. I agree it is a good idea to ask, but these trucks vary greatly from one to another. They are mechanically different, we use them different, terrain where we use them, some folks might not admit they made a mistake

.
As you get closer to who to go with, ask that vendor a lot of questions. A lot.
One person's 80e might work better in your truck vs mine.
As I write this I don't remember if you have gauges, get them if you don't.

Have you made sure your engine/transmission is 100% before you power up? Gauges? I had issues (unknown at the time) and while tuning gave me more power, fixing my engine gave me as much power gain in stock tune as the chip did with a sick engine.
