DP installed

I just drove my truck with the DP installed for about half an hour. I am very impressed with the driveability and smooth throttle. The performance is awesome. I havn't decided yet if it is faster in extreme mode then the max chip, but I havn't drivin it enough yet. I'll let you all know. Also, more pictures on the way. . . havn't trouble uploading them. . . any ideas?

Cool, what kind of tunes did you get? I know you have stage 2.5 injectors, so the 100hp tune wouldnt mean much. Did you get any tunes such as high idle, lope idle, or a super-extremely-copious smoke tune?

How is the throttle response with the chip? My predator sucks above 60hp setting (way to twitchy).

Nevermind I see you put smooth throttle in your post.

I've got an Early 99 and my old programming was Bully Dog and was twitchy as well. The DP is much smoother on my rig.

Congrats!! I think you'll like the chip more every time you drive it. Jody's shift programming is second to none, IMO.

chip

I got the no start, stock, Tow, Econ, race and Extreme. The HP number are worthless with the mods I have. THrottle feel wonderfull. The max chip was a little twitchy. After I drive it a few days, I'll let you know about the max power by the seat of the pants feel. Right now, it feels comperable. But I'm really looking for the economy setting and driveability.
