a good chip will help you get the most out of that cam, especially with the speed density ECM on your truck.

Some where they had module you replaced the PROM and made the ECM programmable.

Your prom isn't erasable so you aren't going to find a programmer. Your choices are replace the prom or use an add-on chip that plugs into the test port. Superchips still list their's, you just need to find someone who burns them.
