Smile Dr. Performance Chips Any Good

I have a 2006 F350 6.0L and I was wondering if anyone has any news and the Dr, Performance chip, if it is good or bad. I like the idea that it does not over fuel to increase power. What do you guys think?

I am unware of that. May want to call the tuner of your choice or maybe 2-3 tuners and ask them the same question.

Thanks again, I don't want to raise the cylinder pressure because I worry about head gaskets, do you know if the 06 are bad for that??

I think duffman is right. However, I would still call a few tuners and talk to them about cp's then make a decision and go from there. I would refer you to eric at innovativediesel.com, Dj diesel performance and Doug at gogodiesel.com. As for the head gasket/bolt problem the 05+ have revised heads I believe and shouldn't be as bad as 03's and 04's.

I blew the heads on my '06. I now have head studs, so no worry now
