I get that feeling everytime I turn the dial on my chip
If you think the programmer was sweet check into DP tuning or Tony Wildman, I would recomend a flip chip over a programmer. I think we have another case of what they call PMS

about 50-60 rwhp is the max your going to get with stock injectors no matter what. A good tow program maxes them out, as stated above get some stage 1's and you will have perma grin for along time.

Sorry wolfe1104 but those #s are for a 03 7.3 powerstroke. 60 hp is about all that you can get with the obs trucks with stock injectors. I still tell people I have a 120 hp chip in mine because they dont know the difference (just wait for the stage I's) I cant wait much longer, everytime I see a diesel smoking a little I have to see what it really has. Sometimes I get my a$$ handed to me too , its good fun though.

yeah thats what it says and about what it will do for later model trucks, but with our trucks 50-60 rwhp above stock is max (~220-230 rwhp).

Ya it makes a difference, your 01 has larger injectors and an intercooler. You could get the 100 hp increase with your truck. Fill out your signature so we can see what type of truck you have. You also didnt tell if you have gauges, if not you need them.
