Ok guys, the big day is coming soon i hope. I plan on buying a chip soon. I've just got a few questions to ease my decisions.

I'm about 95% sure im goin with a TW chip, mainly because of the free reburns, cause who knows, i might do injectors one day. My other option is a DP tuner, how do they compare? I imagine both max out the injectors and everything on the truck. I guess, other than the free reburns, what would make me want one over the other? also, what kind of fuel mileage increase should i expect?

Also, gauges, i want something that matches the factory gauges because i don't plan on upgrading them. I wanna go with boost, pyro, and trans mounted on the A pillar. I know a lot of people like Isspros. Any other suggestions? Can a vendor hook me up with a good deal?

And finally the transmission, i imagine a valve body upgrade is a good idea, from what ive heard. Who makes a good VB? also, what about a torque converter? How much are they, is it really required?

Sorry for the long post, but i like to make informed decisions, and want to avoid buyers remorse.

I would look into the free reburns a little more. It's not free reburns for life whenever you need it.

Get the Diprocol Optix series...perfect factory match

Try John Wood, or Brians truck shop
