Tim,

TS Performance 6 Position Chip is what I just installed in my truck yesterday.

Love the chip, best one I've ran so far in this truck.
Dennis, Sheila and the crew at TS are great to deal with.

I would recommend calling TS, tell them a little about your truck (i.e. tires, gears, trans, whatever else you have with the stinger plus package, etc..) and what you are looking to get out of it performance wise and see what they recommend for your application.

That's what I did.....Dennis recommended his NVK4 programming for my truck...and it kicks

Very smooth/refined power when you want to be easy on it.....and will really open up when you mash the skinny pedal

In the 7.3L, chips can't be stacked with other chips and/or programmers. There are other "modules" that can be used inaddition to a programmer or chip. But, a properly tuned chip will pretty much get you all you can get out of stock injectors.

Oh, and

to CompDiesel

Hope this helps.

I'm running the DP chip in my '02 and it rips pretty good. I love it and I know a lot of others are very pleased with theirs too. Jody and Dianne are also really cool and easy to deal with.

What mods are you running with the TS chip? I am looking at putting it on an 01 6spd stroker. Pretty much stock except for superchips 80hp, strait pipe, BHAF (if that is the terminology in the Ford world), and south bend clutch. Hopefully gauges soon and 4 or 5 inch exhaust if needed.
Is it better than the DP chips?

02psd7.3 · 08-29-2006, 08:24 PM

from what i seeing yes it seems to be better than the dp

DCSpecial · 08-29-2006, 08:33 PM

I have an air intake, 5" straight pipe (4" downpipe), gauges......stock turbo and stock injectors....oh and a BTS transmission

I've ran DP-Tuner and TS Performance. Just went back to TS Performance and have very glad that I did. This chip rocks

Tony Wildman makes some killer tunes for 7.3's, cant remember what they cost but its well worth the $. 405-818-6365
