A set of gauges, pyro, boost and trans and an F-5 with just the right tunes may be around the 600.00 mark, maybe just a little more. Don't know anything about the TS chip, heard about it tho

I dont know about the difference between the TS chip and the DP horsepower wise as I am not familiar with the TS chip. But I will tell you there is no comparison between a superchips programmer and the DP. I love being able to switch between tunes on the fly with the DP as well. Not much help I know. Someone will be along shortly im sure with all the answers to your questions. I know alot of guys on here including myself swear by their DP.
Where is my manners! Congrats on the Graduation.

Congrats on the graduation!! I would invest in a set of guages first. When you start moding the truck you want to be able to moniter what is going on. Where you have the TS chip already I would do Guages,Exhaust, then a DP-Tuner or a a reburn by Tony. In that order

Thats the best option for the money I think.
Do you have an exhaust on your truck? Thats an important part if your running a tuner/chip.

TS Chip with Gearhead Automotive tunes just to throw a wrench in there just as good and cheaper then Tony's. I would stay away from stack IMHO, I believe you already have gauges in your truck don't you?

Neither. Stacks had their time.. i thought they were cool too back when i graduated, but two years later i hate them, at least on my truck... Send that TS chip to swampsdiesel.com, then when you get their injectors down the road it won't cost you ungodly fees to have it reburnt.

Bill at Power Hungry Performance - Feed your hunger for POWER! Check out our Gryphon Programmer for Ford vehicles! can also re Burn your TS chip. In fact just about anyone who does custom tuning can reburn that chip.. That is one downside to DP-Tuner, only Jody can reburn or add tunes to his chips cuz they are encrypted
