Best Chip?

What is the best "chip" (preferably programmable) for the '00 7.3, and why? Thanks, Tommy

I have a superchips 1705 and i love it 3 settings 70-90-120 hp and 150-175-200 ftlbs
havent set it to high perf yet waitin on my gauges they be here in a week,
it is a big performance gain even on the lowest setting, makes the truck way more fun to drive and it settles it out a bit to. but make sure u have a good intake and exhaust to keep the EGT's down

Id have to go with DP tuner. I dont change gears with the power on (auto) because i am waiting for my BTS valve body. However i did turn it to the 140agressive tune once today in 3rd gear going down the highway, it was impressive. Blew the 140 tune completely out of the water on my old TS 6 position chip, which is for sale BTW. Chugged solid chunks of coal out the stacks, the smoke was so thick. The 40hp tune is about the strength of the 75 tune on the TS.

welcome to FTE !!!go with a dp tuner.you cant go wrong..105 hp extra at the rear wheels in 80 econo..a 100 hp super chip cant pass me..not only that it is custom made to your computer in your truck not just any ford psd..he bumps up trans line pressure moves shift points and locks t/c a little faster.makes all the power go to the ground..most chips just lie to the computer and makes it dump alot of fuel to get a lot hp..not the case with a dp...he uses air,fuel.and timing..that makes some safe strong hp..

I have the DP w/60 tow, 80 econo & 120 race, havent tried the 120 yet, mostly run the 80 & all I can say is WOW.
It feels like a completely different truck, trans shifts much better, WAY more low end torque & gobbs more mid & top end.
