DP or TW

I wanna know which is the best chip for me I have a 1996 ford f350 cc 8ft bed i have a 100hp banks chip in it but i want to take it out. I was just wordering should i go with DP or TW. I was on the diesel garage forum and most of them said to go with DP. I have 166,000 miles on it. I have 80hp injectors afe intake a banks downpipe with straight exhaust. What should i do.

Both are top notch, you are in the line with either, I have read if you have an OBS use TW and if you have a NBS use DP.

Like Bill said, Might as well flip a coin.

I Have a TW chip for my truck and am very happy with it.
Buddy of mine has a DP in his SD and loves it.

Both are great guys to deal with, ones not better than the other that I could say

You can do it either way, if you have a TS chip, you can send it to him, $150 for re-burn plus your shipping to get it there (he'll ship back). Or you can order a chip from him for 300, plus 50 for each setting (must have changed his prices, thought it was 25 per burn, guess i'm wrong).

I had a TS, and yes, they are good out of the box. Friend had a TW and I was even more impressed with that. So up to you, if you can get a TS chip for around 300, then put 150 in for reburns, then your only up to about 450, not to bad.
