How much does a DP, TW or PHP cost compared to a TS chip ?
I know we are not suppose to talk price but is there links to get a price?

Thank you for letting us know.
So my next question is ... are there any "unbiased" tests of these chips and settings ?
Are there tests of these chipsets using various years and modifications?
Called TS and they said an economy setting at 75 HP is basically the same for most any modifications.

Economy tunes are the most controversial tunes between the companies, they all are trying different things.
Changing timing, fuel, hp ratings.
The PHP chip is rated at 60 or 65 hp I think. I just run my 30 hp tow setting and get the same fuel Economy and a faster turbo spool up.
Jim says he gets the same fuel mileage in the 140 extreme as he does with the Econo tune with his PHP chip
Jim I believe is the only one here who dinoed all 3 chips at a time on the same truck.
My personal belief is if you are goign to stick with a stock type truck, go with a DP or a PHP.
If you are going to do some upgrades, go with a PHP for good performance all around, or a TW if you really want to go hardcore.

There was a write up in Diesel Power magazine last month comparing DP Tuner, TW, PHP, and some other chip for our year trucks. Check it out on their website... had good explanations about the differences in tuning and also had dyno results for all of them...

Ok guys I have a few questions. I have a 96 F250 with a afe cold air intake. I want to put a 4" down pipe, 5" stacks with no cat/muffler, stage 1's, gauges and a chip. I would like a chip I could change on the fly. Something I could use to roll coal. What chip do you recomend?

For a smoky chip I'd recommend TW or DP Tuner. PHP is a great chip but they are known for cleaner tunes and not much smoke.
Along with the Stage I's you'll need to upgrade to a 17* HPOP or Adrenaline HPOP to supply more oil. Especially if you want smoke...

A 4" downpipe will be hard to fit, you'd need a 3" body lift or major massaging of the firewall to fit bigger than a 3" downpipe. But a 3" downpipe can handle over 500hp, also Tymar makes a 3" downpipe that expands at the bottom to 4".

You can get a two piece downpipe in pretty easy, but not a one piece. It isn't bad with a two piece, just make sure you buy a band style clamp instead of the old style exhaust clamp.
I would check out Tymar for a downpipe. Call Dale, just google Tymar and you'll get his number. He does a 3" to 4" downpipe and he'll even ceramic coat it if you want, and it'll cost less than $400
