Best chip for 97

What have people used that gives best MPG and best HP gains. I have a manual tranny so not worried about shift points.

I was looking at the "Juice" line...? Anybody heard of Quadzilla "Zillaraitor" chips?

Just starting my research so any help would be nice.

pull of that big powerstroke plastic engine cover. under it you will see click here>>>>> this bad boy with the black lid <<<< click here use a screwdriver to remove the lid. drain diesel by using the yellow lever. do it ON SOME DIRT YOUR FIRST TIME so you can see where the drain tube is. that way next time you can pur some 3/8 fuel line on it and drain into a container. not reqd to drain during filter change but i like to. coat new gasket with diesel and put er back in. the cheapest place for fuel filters is fleetfilter online. same one that ford and napa sell its a wix.

I got the stage ones from beans and it was only $800 to have them rebuilt.
Definatly get the gauges before the injectors. Its not to hard to raise the temps and boost with bigger injectors.
