Thumbs up Probably a question for Jody...

...but wondering if someone here might know. Bought a DP 6 position chip and absolutely love it. Now at the time of getting my chip set-up - I let Jody know that I had a sonnax valve and springs - but had not installed it yet (still have not installed it). So the chip was programmed with that in mind.

Since then - I've been reading a lot of great things about the BTS valve body - and how many people have switched from the sonnax kit to the BTS valve body and like it much better.

So if I decide to go the BTS valve body route instead - think the chip needs to be reprogrammed to accommodate it - or should it be fine as is? Thanks in advance...

Yep - you will definitely want to get the chip changed to go with the BTS valve body! That's the only reason I saved up and got both at the same time - to avoid having to send my chip back for changes after the VB install.

When Jody makes you a chip does he design it around everything you have one the truck? (tire size, gears, tranny, HP Mods)

When I talked with him a week ago he said it would make a difference if I installed the Sonnax kit (which is sitting in my garage) versus the BTS valve body I ordered 5 minutes after talking with Jody! Definitely give him a call. Not tomention Brian at BTS will want to know how to make the VB based on what Jody tells you.

Look at the form on his page. It does request all the info.
