Not exactly. Jody's chip is more custom than any tuner, but it's not as customized as they come. Jody's chip will work a lot better than a tuner even with just an intake and exhaust. Of course, gauges, if you don't already have them, are highly reccomended before you do any sort of power upgrades.

If a tuner has Jody's tunes it will work the same. Jody's tunes are just more custom to the 7.3L PSD. I'm speaking of his product listing at his site.Standard tune files and Custom files JT.

Nut is correct about the tuning of the files though, custom being more for your things like dual HPOP, big injectors, big turbos, etc... In that case, custom will be your best bet.

Some of it comes down to personal preferance, but I don't think you'll find anyone who is disappointed with jody's tuning. However, if you're budget is tight, a TS chip (which is less expensive) or similar will still work better than most of your off the shelf tuners.
