hey i have a 1999 f250 and a 2000 f250. both 7.3 powerstrokes. im looking into getting a performance programmer but im not sure which one, any suggestions? and im kinda looking for one that is capable of doing custom tunes (200 rpm increments maybe?). any ideas? any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

A TS style chip is what I would go with. Be it Tony Wildman, Swamps, DI, or one of the other good tuners out there, thats your best option for a 7.3. Programers suck on these trucks.

ok i dont wanna sound dumb but what is TS style? is it this a do it your self type of tunable programmer?

just call up any of the companys mentioned above and they will hook you up

{95 F250 Powerstroke XLT} 5 spd, Wildman 6 pos. chip, ADs, electric fuel system, AFE stage 2 intake, 3" down pipe to dual 3.5" exhaust with 5" tips. EBPV break, shimed FPR, idm mod by mattymx, CCV mod, Leveling Kit, diprocol egt and boost guages.

definitely go with one of the 6 position chips (TS, Tony Wildman, DP, anything like that) like Joe said stay away from programmers such as superchips, or edge, or diablo they wont give you the same performance levels. and its a simple install but it installs in the PCM itself not in the OBD II port.

2000 F250 CCSB Airaid cold air intake, Autometer pillar gauges for boost, trans temp, and EGTs, 4" turbo back straight piped exhaust, propane injection, TS Performance 6-position chip, ATS Stage 2 Transmission w/ deep pan, ATS 5 Star Torque Converter, ATS Ported Compressor Housing
2002 F350 CCLB 6637 Filter, TS Performance 6 position chip

i have a tony wildman chip on my 2000 and rea;;y happy with it, like other say it's a simple instal and is selectable on the fly

ok but they arent capable of a custom tune correct? also does a 6.0 use the same chip or is it different all together. someone told me that the edge programmers worked for both 6.0 and 7.3. just curious.

All TS blank chips can be tuned by who ever you send them to to what ever you want... If your interested in doing your own tuning then you need to look here...

You do not want a edge, superchip or otherwise programer on a 7.3, they just plain suck. Takes 10-15 minutes to change programs, the programs are weak and not specific to your mods or needs...
