A chip is the best option in my opinion. But ya really need to get gauges, and upgrade the intake and exhaust before installing a chip if you expect to get the most for your money and protect your truck. TS multi pos chips work well or you can call Jody Tipton or Tony Wildman, Both custom programmers and have excellent programs for the older psd's
