TS 6 position

Anyone have a solid opinion of the TS 6 position chip?
Was it worth it?
Doing it over again, would you consider the Preadator or the Edge w/Juice instead?

What are the torque gains from the TS at the 100hp setting?

I have a TS 4 position chip and I like it alot. I like it over the edge and programmers due to the fact that you can get the programs on them changed whenever you want. When I first bought the chip it had stock-50hp-80hp-100hp. Went back last month and changed them up to 50-100-120-150. I wish I would have got the 6 pos but Im happy with the 4. Wouldnt consider any other. Not exactly sure on the torque gain.

50HP is approx 90ft-lbs
75HP is approx 140ft-lbs
100HP is approx 185ft-lbs
125HP is approx 220ft-lbs
140HP is approx 260ft-lbs

We have gone through over 100 of these chips and have only had 2 come back due to a truck acting strangely.. These were California trucks. Usually we can take care of it though.
Let me know if I can hook you up

Have a good one!

Can you run the 125 hp setting with a stock tranny?
I know the story about the proper EGT's, and temps.

I guess the 140 hp setting would really blow up the tranny, and I don't want to do that.

Right now my truck is stock except for the K&N FIPK.
I'd like to get a set of A-pillar gages and a chip soon.

Then next summer go for the 4" exhaust and 3.5" down pipe.

No matter what you do, I highly reccomend the Sonnax kit seen Here

You should be OK with the 125 program and the sonnax/tricumlator as long as you watch your trans temps.

Blcak cloud is right about the sonnax kit but I would do the T/C also. The stock convertor just cant take the power of the motor. Im running a precision industries convertor with a factory tech valve body. A combo like I have is your cheapest protection without just splurging for a Monster in the box or a BTS, etc. My engine destroyed my original trans.
