Would the Wildman chip be a noticable upgrade from the chip that's in the banks stinger plus setup? I have all the components installed and was considering the swap of just the chip.

yes it would be a very noticable upgrade just make sure you have a pyrometer installed and you don't get things too hot.

Great! I've got the gauges covered; pyro, tranny temp and boost. I wanted to make sure it was worth spending the money over a chip I already had. I'm not that impressed with the banks ottomind...but i've never been able to compare to anything else. I want to be able to blow some black smoke without blowing the truck up! Thanks for the help.

Exactly the situation I'm in - thinking of getting a chip from Tony and pulling my Banks Power Pack chip. I talked to Tony a couple days ago and told him what I got but I want to pull a valve cover and verify which injectors I have before I order it. Something the previous owner said makes me want to check. About 6 months ago I sent my Stinger Plus chip back to Banks and swapped it for a Power Pack chip. The only difference between the Power Pack and Stinger Plus is the chip and IC. There's quite a noticeable difference between the Stinger Plus and PP chips but Tony says he'll blow the Banks chips away. So I'll probably get one soon. Had I known 18 months ago what I know now, I would have gone a different route building my 7.3 but I gotta say the Banks stuff made a huge difference over stock. Running no chip for the 10 day turnaround made me wonder how I ever drove it stock. It blows a noticeable amount of smoke but it's not a sun blocking smoke screen like I've seen some trucks do. Removing or gutting your cat and running 4in exhaust all way back will help you also.
