7.3 psd Chip

I just purchased the Diablo Predator programmer for my 1999 F550 truck to find out that it doesnt work with my trucks computer. Does anyone have an opinion of what chip I should be looking into now. Nick at Diablo suggest I swap for the "Delta"chip.....any suggestions?

A lot of people like '4-bank' switchable chips into which you can load different programs and switch on the fly. I think SP diesel also has a box that will allow you to adjust settings in infinitely variable fashion on the fly. Quadzilla Performance also has an offering, and I think his is a 'stealth' unit that you don't have to crack the computer to install

Diablo's chips are 4 bank switchable chips. The Quadzilla box is similar to an Edge box, it doesn't modify the tranny parameters but its a good stealth system. The SP box is good for "up to 50HP" and is basically a potentiometer (variable resister) setup. Its highest setting is lower than everyone else's lowest setting, you can gain similar results with the "resister" mod.

Had to remove one of those vendors from your list, they got upset with us after we tried programming their chips and didn't tell the world they walked on water (bogging problems in the higher settings).
