chip question
Good Morning guys!
What exactly does a chip to to give me 100 more hp? Is it a combination of changing the shift points and raising the boost in the turbo?
For someone wanting a little more power this seems to me to be the first and easiest choice.
If I where to add a chip which would you guys recommend? Would 100 hp stretch my head bolts?
I just was curious what other have experienced.
Thank you
Todd

Thanks travis and fordpride. So where can I find info on hat matches? For example: stage one injectors. Better intake, nice exhaust and chip. That's good for 100 hp?

In this order
Make sure the truck is in perfect running condition
6637 intake
3" down pipe 4"exhaust
Gauges boost, EGT, trans temp if auto
Chip with custom tunes
Injectors
That should keep you busy for a while

Heres one of the most cost effective and (with a few minor exceptions) problem free guage setups many have done. I personally have installed 2 sets of these on other trucks and will be getting some for my rig here soon.
