Brandon. You need more then the 6637 to run these chips. IMO. You need to get gauges and exhaust with your intake. Both chips will do you good, I have the DP-TUNER and I love it. I have a few mods, and live tuning from DP-TUNER to make all this work together. Take your time and do it right the first time.

Dan has a hand shaker, he shifts how he wants.

Oh, right... didn't see that...

Thanks all. All I wonder now is what order I should get things in, VB then tuner, or the other way around?

Order them at the same time. The person tuning the chip, will tune the chip for the VB, and the valve body will be tuned to the chip.

IN OTHER WORDS, I told DP-TUNER I was getting a BTS-VB, and I told Brian at BTS I was getting the DP-TUNER so they both would work the best with each other. I was also told not to install the chip before the VB.

I had DP and loved it. I now have PHP and love it a little more. I like how the TQ locks at the same time as shift into 2nd (when under load) and how my injectors are all but silent of any rattling. Even when rolling into the throttle from very low rpms. And my towing temps went down 100 degrees on flat ground. This is comparing DP's 40tow to PHP's 65tow.

My PHP 65tow feels as strong as the DP 80eco but shifts better and is much quieter. 65tow is also a great daily driver. I've been running around empty here in Eastern OR for a little over a week now. Around town, down the highway, off road, and mountain dirt roads. The shifting is superb.

I had about the same experience when I changed, Jason. Except for the towing part -- I don't tow a whole lot. Shifting is PRIMO, and my truck really likes Tony's tunes.
