Post which chip?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 19-Aug-02 AT 11:30 AM (EST)]I have a 2002 F150 Supercrew with the 4.6L V8, I have a K&N and Flowmaster catback. Which chip would be better for this application? My computer code is GKW3? Does Diablo make a chip for this code?
Also, since I live in Southern Cal, with either chip prevent me from passing smog check?

Not a matter of better, more a matter of different. Diablo tends to have more horsepower but in California you're less likely to find satisfactory gas.

No. Neither does Superchips.

Neither would prevent it, from a sniffer point of view. However, the Superchips is the only one of the two that is CARB certified.
