Still can't turn them over.
I finally finished with all of my current mods. Guages (pyro, boost, volts to fill the hole since trans temp is on the dash). 4" flowmaster system 3.5" downpipe) I'm curenly running a diablo flip chip with 60@100hp settings.Afe intake on a 2003 3/4 ton 4 door 7.3 liter. Temps are good with both programs but shifting on the 60 is really slugish. What do I do next? Don't get me wrong this thing gets after it but she still won't just light them up and it doesn't smoke much. Just not as much power as I was hoping for.

Not sure if you're looking to spend more money, but you can get a lot more/better power out of a chip than you can a tuner. I had a SCMT for about 4 months and then decided to switch to a 4 pos. flip chip (stock, 50, 100, 125 settings) and HOLY what a difference. If I punch the throttle on the high setting, I can sit there and smoke a tire - got to let off to get it moving. I never could do that with my tuner!! Best mod I ever did/changed!!

check out my sig for the mods on my truck, but with my diablo tuner in the 85 mode, my truck will light em up at will from a standing start, no power braking either. when it hits second, it brakes the tires loose too.... ahhh, the FTVB at work!

Like pancartom was saying it's your transmission holding you back. Your engine is producing enough torque light em' up with ease.....but your tranny is eating a bunch of power.
