Question Tuner's for a 6spd?

Hey I was wondering where and who manufactures a good chip for the manuel 6 spd. transmission for the 6.0L. It is a 2003 F-350.

let me get this straight- i am a little unsure about what you are asking- you want a chip for a 6.0 ENGINE with a manual transmission? it seemed like you wanted a chip for the transmission. i would check TS Performance, or get a custom burn somewhere. i hear alot of good from TS.

Wouldn't a big bottle of pep pills from a truck stop be more than enough to speed up the shift points in a manual? Seriously though, what are you asking, a tuner for the engine or transmission?

He's talking about the 6.0 Engine, but 6.0 equipped with a manual trans.
You know, he's basically posting the challenging comment "is the best product for the auto, also the best product for the manual?"

Read the superchips thread (recent posts).

Believe it or not, the manual transmission can still be tuned.
It has a calibration (much like the autos) that reduces torque under some circumstances, and a flash tuner can get around this.

Seriously? Since obviously a manual equipped truck has no ability to shift the tranny on it's own, is it reducing torque by defueling?

Yes, there are torque modulation tables for both automatic and manual shifts.

I have no clue why they do that....but Jim is dead on.

Sorry about the mix up guys. I mean a tuner for the engine. Everywhere I go to buy a chip they say I can't get one because I have 6spd. and I need to have an auto.

I honestly don't know of one that WON'T work with the 6 speed. I think whoever told you that is an idiot, quite frankly...

So witch chips or programers get rid of the "torque reduction" that was mentioned above on vehicles equiped with a 6 speed? I have asked similar questions related to the 6.0 and 6 speed before, but the conversation always slides back to the autos.
