Easiest way to find the answer to your question is to install the chip, set it for the hottest tune and floor it up the biggest hill you know of. Or tow a trailer. Load up the engine.

I had to put one on mine with ts6 and old php tunes on it. Went with the riff raff boost fooler. Works great.

If you’re purchasing new I would recommend spending a little more for the Hydra. There are lots of reasons but resell value is a major one. A used TS6 has almost zero value.
