i dont think you can. one will override the other.
basically from what i understand is:
a chip/ programmer when installed will overide pcm. so if you do that and then add another it will cancel one of them out. i could be wrong but i am pretty sure.
also why waste that much money. for the cost of one you could be 1/2 to the purchase of a set of aftermarket injectors.

A chip will always overwrite the PCM. Doesn't matter if it's a tuner or stock, once you install a chip that's your programming.

You can stack external fueling boxes on to either a programmer or a chip, produces similar effects as the stack on your Dod*e.

The EZ can also be used in conjunction with a chip or "stacked" with most OBDII programmers. http://www.dieselperformanceparts.co...unique=EZF1000

Right...the EZ is an external device, so is the Banks six-gun or any of the dozens of variations of the 10K mod...like the 18k from black cloud diesel.

IMHO A good chip from say Tony Wildman or Jody Tipton will give you as much as a buying 2 seperate products at half the cost. Plus with a multi pos chip you have several different settings at the touch of your fingers. A chip will give better power gains than any tuner at least with a OBS powerstroke. My .02cts
