Which one should I get?

Ok, I finally sold my dirtbike so now I have some extra cash. I have already put gauges, 5" straight pipe, and intake. I want to get a chip. I was thinking about getting a Tony Wildman chip but I thought I would get some opinions first. Any tips would help. Thanks

Selling the dirt bike to feed your PMS? Blasphemy!
Tony Wildman, DP Tuner, or PHP are the most popular choices for good tuning for the 7.3.

You'll love the TW tunes!! That's what I'm running right now (had DP before). If you have enough $$$, I HIGHLY suggest you do your trans mods first. That way, Tony can set your tunes up once for the trans. If you're savvy enough, you can put in a TransGo kit for about $70.

As chase said, all 3 can tune the 7.3. I have the DP-TUNER because I like the 16 tune switch. I have 9 tunes on it right now, but to be fair, I really don't know if the others can hold 16 tunes and can push a button to change tunes. I think TW don't charge for reburns, that is a plus also.

Bill (PHP) doesn't charge for re-burns either.
To answer your question, TW and PHP use a rotary style **** as far as I know... only can hold about 6 different tunes. DP has the edge in that regards with the 16 different options.
