i missed the last topic so all i can offer for under 15 bucks is this- icp mod and eot mod, wont smoke like a pig but it will smoke a little. to get any considerable smoke you need to drop 400 bucks on a custom chip such as a tw or dp-tuner

you will have to be careful with the edge products, i hope you have gauges as they are not the greatest tuners out ther. they get hot egt's on their own.
at any rate, the eot gets a 4.7k resistor. the icp you can experiment with to see what your truck likes the best, they all seems to be a little different, my truck is happiest with a 14.7k (10k and a 4.7k inline) just start with a 10k and test drive it going up in size till you are happy or the motor bogs down, whichever comes first. typicly you can try a 10k, a 14.7k, a 15.6k, an 18k, a 20k, and a 22k. 18k seems to be the max, there is actually a dyno sheet of a guy that tested his truck with the icp mod done in this fasion, i thikn it was the 15.6k that got 65 horespower and 80 ft lbs of torque, or near that. i cant recall.

ive been runnin 20k icp and 4.7k eot for almost 6 months now. i ran 10k for the other 6. in that year i have never had problems. i just take it out for towing. i dont have guages and still have stock dp. i would recommend the 3 guage a pillar for a a little more money. get trans temp boost for 35lbs and egt (pyro) for 1400 degrees

idealy anytime you will have the potential for extended heavy throttle (hills) you shouldnt have it in without egt gauge. flat ground you would be fine. i've had the icp mod and chip for a couple years without issue and i dont eve remove it, i've had 15k on the back of mine with everything installed. its all about common sense and not trying to be the first one to the top of the hill.
