No stacking.

Won't do you any good as a custom tuned chip will get pretty much all you can out of the truck.

Sorry for sounding a fool here, but isnt a tony wildman tunes kind of a custom thing? that being said, a tuner reprograms your truck to their settings..this would eliminate the tony wildman tunes.. you may want to contact tony wildman and see if you can purchase extra tunes from him.. it should be cheaper then buying a tuner..

What tunes do you have from Tony.
I would suggest adding some tunes to your chip depending on what you have now.


Edit: Also why are you wanting to stack two chips? Do feel you are not getting the power your after? It maybe time to upgrade a few other things if that is the case.

Nope, the HPOP and injectors can only flow so much in stock form.


Now, if you start upgrading injectors, turbo, hpop, etc.. you can get more power.

Nope you can not stack them the chip cancels out anything trying to program.

Find a new shop. Those guys were A) either trying to rip you off, or B) they don't know as much as they think they do.

Either way...

I agree with all the above.

Jason, let me know when you stand next to a mountain. I want to see this.

Your probably sitting around the 300-310 hp now with your current setup. Definitely do not need to stack anything with a custom tune, won't do you any good.

If you want more HP, the next step would be either (no specific order implied) bigger injectors, HPOP upgrade, turbo, regulated return, etc.
