which programmer to buy???
No response when I posted this in the chips section so here goes in the PSD section:
I have a 1995 PSD 5-spd crew cab dually and I'm looking to purchase a programmer for it.
Ive checked out the big name programmers
Hypertech
Edge
Bully Dog
Superchip
etc.
and they are nice but a bit pricey for me. then while browsing ebay, i see several generic programmers without all the bells and whistles and for a fraction of the cost.
I'm basically looking for a horsepower increase and nothing more(dont care about recalibrating shift points and speedo, etc.) but dont want to spend too much money. so my question is... which one is the best for the $$$$? Does anybody have input (good or bad) about the generic programmers? do they perform as advertised?
This is what caught my eye
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...mZ270165748756
90 hp for $104.99
is this thing worth the money? I dont't have the 350 + to spend on a name brand programmer. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Search these forums for a "10k mod" thats all that ebay one is and it wont cost you more than $20. If you dont want to spent money for a chip I dont want you to buy that ebay crap lol. This cheap mod will give your truck a little more pick me up. I would recomend an egt gauge when modifying for more fuel though.

Heck, I have a superchip programmer that I will sell you. Well actually my neighbor has it. He sold his truck and kept the programmer. Here is a pic of it.

The $65 ebay product is advertising 90hp (yeah i know talk is cheap) so i figure its probably 40-45hp ??
just curious, what kind of power gains do the 10k, 4.6k 22k mods net you?
was also curious if anybody has ever run their rig on a chassis dyno to confirm the claims of these companies.

If I were you don't waste your time or money on any other chips other than TW or DP. Use the money you have now for a Down pipe, do the 6637 air filter, get atleast a pyrometer, then save up to get a good chip. here are their websites
