Honestly....all I know about the IDM mod with stock injector trucks is what I read, and what I read say's it should be good for about 20hp over whatever your current configuration is....including the chip.
Om my truck I went from a 120v to a 140v IDM after I had done the injectors, and while I don't have a dyno in my barn, I know that it did better than 20hp.....probably more like 40. Definitely power you can feel in the old buttometer.
I'm going to mod my old IDM to a 140v for my buddy Dave (1996pwrstrk) so we'll know in a couple of weeks how much difference it makes on stock injectors.

I have not done this mod as yet but it is on my "To Do" list within the week.
I just wanted to put out a warning to use a low heat soldering iron, 25W at best. You are working on computer style motherboard and if you screw it up it will be at least a $300.00 screw up.
So take your time and take it slow.

It is mounted under the hood on the drivers fender right across from the under the hood fuse box. There is a plug that is plugged into the front end and held in place with one (1) bolt (10mm I think) There is a sticker where the plug is and it's very small writing but it can be read.
Hope this helps.
