Programer/ chip

Been out of the 7.3 for some time now but after my 6.7 spun a bearing 2.5 weeks ago I've been rebuilding the old beast! I pull a 18k 5th wheel but after pulling it this past weekend I will say the old 7.3 needs some help so looking to see what is the best programer and or chip, I have the Tamar air intake I installed back in 02 but unfortunately I gave away my programer years ago! Looking to buy something tomorrow as I'm leaving again this Friday
Thanks

Hydra is the flavor of the year, with many people capable of tuning it via internet.

The Two Day turn around you need may be a deal breaker on a custom tuned chip. You may have to get on the phone and call aroundv to see who can overnight ship a tuner to you.

If you call right now I will do to my best to get this out today to be there by Friday. Need to do UPS. They come a little later than USPS does.

Well its 2 pm here and UPS is walking down the drive. Only 1 pick up daily.

OP-If you still want a chip by Friday it can go out tomorrow. To get it Friday it will need to ship Next day air.

I feel like a jack *** didn't except that! Thanks and like I said I am sure I will be replacing the edge but hopefully it will give me the power needed for the weekend.
I am gonna change injectors, and turbo if needed so the chip from you will probably be needed to work with that right? I also ordered exhaust today should be here Friday morning

There is a long list of people that have roasted their transmissions on Edge tuning, hopefully your one weekend doesn't add your name onto that list.

No worries! Yes you will need customized tuning for the new mods. The Edge will not have the correct tuning for different injectors.

Have a nice trip. Give is a call if we can help you in the future.
