Suggestions Please

Looking at buying a tuner but not sure which one to get. Im looking to spend around $400. Im not planning on changing injectors, I do have a straight exhaust with no muffler or cat. ANy suggestions on which one to get? Its a 1997 Powerstroke turbo diesel 7.3L. I was looking at either the Bully dog 6 position 4 bank chip or the edge evolution programmer. Either of these good?

Either Tony or Dp-tuner here are both their websites
tony- http://stores.totaldieselperformance.com/StoreFront.bok
DP-tuner- http://www.dp-tuner.com/73tuning.htm

Just a note incase you didn't know this, but with any chip/tuner no matter who's it is at the very least you need a pyrometer to watch exhaust temps to protect your pistons from melting! Generally not an issue with goos programming but it still need to be watched.

Will any chip/tuner make the truck roll out some black smoke?

Arrow

I think so, and also remember, that with your stock injectors the best increase of HP would be only 70 hp
