6 pos. programs TS or TW

Ok guys I know most here are Wildman fans-but I see that TS 6 pos chips can be found for 250+/-on e-bay. Do you think there is much of a difference considering they're options seem to be the same, HP settings and valet,high idle, anti theft. On ebay the 6pos. is 250, Wildman 6pos is 450.

i think the wildman chip would be a better choice, but i have never ridden in a truck that has a ts or a tw chip. the only difference that i would think there would be is simply the programs themselves. ts has off the shelf programs used for all trucks of a specific year. i believe that tony does it all to match the mods that you have done to the truck so you get better performance when you get into bigger injectors and stuff.

i have a ts chip and have had it for about 3 years. its works well and definitely woke my truck up. would i like to buy(reburn) a tw chip yeah. i just have been lazy. not sure that i am getting all i can from a ts as i have never thrown a CEL with my current mods. although my dads will but he has splits. you will be happy either way.

but after reading into it, if you compare his cost of a 3 postion vs the other choices (most of the programmers are 3 options), they run around 4-450, his 3 position is 375

i've really been into getting a chip just wondering if the wildman chip will give you better fuel economy? i don't plan on getting injectors for a while or any major mods

TW has a setting called economy that gets better fuel. TW will burn/reburn a TS if you ask him nicely. His 6 pos. is $475. spend a little more and get all you want and will ever need.

pretty sure its free for a reburn if your initial purchase was from him. if you bought another brand and want a reburn then you gotta pay$. who knows maybe he will see this post and make a post to it.

You probably can't get much more than 75 with stock sticks.
