question

do you have to get a custom burnt chip when changing the mass air sensor and throttle body? or is there any way to calibrate to run with the stock computer or with a programmer?

Yes, you have to have a custom tune, with a custom chip or custom tuner. Depending on the vehicle, you may be able to do it with one of the upcoming Predators.

Phenom, what kind of truck do you have, and do you already have mods? Also, what engine do you have? 5.4, 4.6, or 4.2? I'm assuming its a newer truck due to your asking about a chip.
