DP Tuner is a little ways north of you, and he's moving according to his website further south from me but closer to you. I Dont know how much it is worth to have dyno tuning done on a Diesel without a ton of mods, aslong as you find someone real good to tune it.

As many 7.3s as Jody burned chips for, Im sure if he dyno tuned my PSD there wouldn't be much more power that's hiding to get out of it.

Until you start adding things like bigger IC, sticks, turbos, fuel systems; about all you are going to get with a chip and basic stuff is around 100hp +/-. I maybe wrong there, but there is only so much a factory setup will yeild. Maybe someone else will beable to tell ya different, but I dont think so.

If your TS is treating you good(tranny shifts, power through out the rpm range, etc) then stay with it.

Since your in Tampa you should get ahold of Viv(MOMBENZ) and DJ(djdieseltech) at DJ's diesel performance. They are located in Ocala and can do some mean custom tunes.

Give Tadd or Robert a call over there, I know the tunes Tadd will burn will beat that TS hands down, shifting, EGT's, and power... But for the most part if your looking for a big jump in HP, its not going to happen.

I'll second that. Our Elite tunes are better than the TS tunes on our Excursion hands down. Your not going to run to the top of a mountain and scream ELITE! over it, but you will notice the differance. If you didnt already have a chip...Elite is the best value for sure.

yes, If you do the injectors, turbo, meth, nitrous...whatever. Having a custom tuner in your corner to progress with you as you add mods will get you the very best results.
