I have a 110HP Diablo Sport chip and I had a 78HP Diablo sport. I like them alot. I had a hypermax chip so i can compare the two...no comparison, diablo all the way. What is the price he is asking, and just keep in mind that it will cost you a little bit of money if you need to have the chip reprogrammed for your truck.

I also run a Diablo chip, and have the luxury of having a buddy that sells them, so I get free reflashes. I've tried several burns, and though I like some more than others, they're all much better than stock. As suggested, don't pay too much for it, and allow for a reflashing expense.

Word of advise don't spend a whole lot on a used chip some dealers are reluctant to reflash the chip for your truck. I'd check around for a price on a new one before spending a whole lot on a used one...
