I also got some Gearhead & Dyno Proven tunes and I've asked Tony & John Woods and no response from those two yet. I have also downloaded a couple generic tunes off of PHP site, just for fun LOL. I just haven't had time to put it in yet, will soon though!

I have an auto and it helped shifting etc. WHEN you start adding injectors.. turbo.. hpop and any other goodies you'll want to get it re-burnt to make it run the best.

I see you're fairly new here with a newfound truck..

Be warned the power will get addictive and you'll want more. That few hundo you'll spend on a chip will be cute once you start moving into the big stuff. I started the same way. Intake. Exhaust. chip. Then you throw in $1400 in injectors. Then $3500 for trans (at a minimum, more like $5k). It doesn't end.

I unfortunately started with the Transmission and Torque converter right off jump street...I however did get it built to handle any upgrades I might make...so I guess I got one of the larger (costwise) upgrades out of the way..gonna start the fun stuff now..

I think buying one of these trucks quickly turns into a disorder known as Powerstroke Modification Syndrome...its highly addictive i hear...
