Wester's Garage chip programing

In my vast search concerning the different types of chips and turners available, I came across a company, called Wester's Garage, which is a Canadian company that makes a replacement chip. Has anyone had experience with this chip?

Makes a chip? I doubt it. Only a handful of companies actually make them and they aren't one of them.

What brand chip(s) do they burn?

Sorry, I'm not sure what chips they use. I just started investigating what chips and tuners are available, so I'm still new to this subject. Here's they're web site:

westers_garage.eidnet.org

By the way... I have a 2000 F250, SD, 4x4, gas V10, 4.30 rear that we mainly use to haul a Lance camper. Eventually we plan to get an enclose cargo trailer to haul our motorcycles. I was looking to improve overall performance and to improve towing performance when we have the camper on. I was considering using either the SuperChip tuner or the Diablo tunrer. Would either of these, or a chip, benefit me with a basically stock truck?

Oh.... I know who you're talking about now. He's very small in the Ford market. Not using his own chip, but apparently putting his code on them. Does a lot in the GM market, don't see much about him in the Ford market. Not really enough information for me to make a judgement call on his code, but I would recommend if you go with them have them send a chip, not reprogram the PCM directly because you'll no longer have your stock program available.

The Diablo chip (no hand-held tuner yet for your application) or the Superchips tuner will do what you need. In this case I'd go with the Superchips tuner. The reason is it appears you only need the premium fuel program occasionally and the Superchips Microtuner has an 87 octane program you can run the rest of the time.
