Performance Chips
I have a 1988 F250 with a stock 5.0 (302 v8) 5 speed manual trans. The truck runs great but I would like to gain a little more power without major expense. I have been looking at web sites that offer performance computer chips for my truck. I would be real interested to know if anyone has any experience(good or bad) with a Super Chip or a Diablo chip or any other brand that might work for me. Or other tips that might be better than using a chip.
Thanks

Diablo. You should check out the computer tuning forum. That is the chip that FTE's store sells, and from my research, it is the best on the market. Any further questions should be answered there. BTW, they have a FAQ that should answer most questions. As for better alternatives to a chip, they are the best investment of power per dollar.

Thanks for you input, I'm new to this forum, what did you mean by BTW? So that I might find the FAX you referred to.
Thanks

BTW is 'by the way'. There are quite a few acronyms used on this board. Im sure you will pick them up as time goes on. As stated above, the use of premium gas is required for the performance burns (but on some of the chips, they allow you to switch between the two settings...that way you arent restricted to premium only). The miles per gallon gain will normally offset any costs associated with the high test.
