Performance Chip Recommendation?

hi all,

I have an 04 250 and wanting to upgrade it with a Chip, I would like some recommendations on brands everyone else are using.

Thanks,

None, your best option is to tune the engine with sct and costume tunes.

DO NOT put a tune on that truck! Without installing arp headstuds. If u put a tune on a stock 6.0 it will eventually blow head gaskets. Were are u located?

The above statement is not quite true.You can tune a non-studed truck.
There a few of us that are doing that right now with no problems at all.
What you do need is someone that knows what they are doing creating
you tunes. Matt at Gearhead Automotive Performance
Was my choice and also quite a few of the others. They will ask if you
have studs or not and what you want to do. The SRL is what I am running
and I am happy with it.

That is not true. You can make tunes safe for stock head bolts. You can also make tunes unsafe for stock head bolts as well.

To the OP... Do you have gauges yet?

Another vote here for Gearhead tunes. I've been happy with mine.
