Here it is and I rechecked I paid $475 with 6 positions. They start at $300. If I were to do it again I wouldn't get so many tunes. I don't use them all.

Ask 2 stroke man, he's had quite a bit of different chips on his truck. I know he had a superchip and nows hes got TW tunes so he can definitly tell you the difference

I throw some smoke but not nearly as much as I want to. Thats why DIY stage 2's are on my things to do list.

My 97 is stock but it smokes in CO until the turbo kicks in. I don't like it, smoke out the tailpipe is wasted fuel. I had a 475 CAT engine in my Petercar and it never smoked and the inside of the stack was clean.
