Default chips/programmers.

Ok what is the main difference between chips and programmers. what are the best brands out for the 1994 powerstroke? ive heard about stacking them? can you only stack certain brands? and is it recomended to stack them or will it result in sky high egt's?

Tony Wildman burns the best tunes for a 94, you cant stack on a 94-97 or your ECM will let out the magic smoke that you can never put back in. Totaldieselperformance.com is where to get a wildman chip. He is good to work with as well. No other tunes can compare to his. More than likely with a 94 you will be unable to use a programmer, most of those ECM's are "retarded" so you have to use an actual plug in chip. hope that helped

That was pre-OBDII, so you can't use a programmer like liftitlly said. I've got the Bully Dog six pack on my '96. I like it. I can turn it up if I need it, or down if I don't.

ok sweet thanks guys. ill look into both of those brands. what are the disadvantages to the wildman chip? im looking to make this truck more of a daily driver than i can still lay some rubber down with so something that i can customize like the bullydogs levels of tune would be nice. is that available for the wildman one?

ok i just went to there website and looked at totaldieselperformance chip and the reviews seem to be really good. which chip would be more customizable? right now my truck is stock but im planning on doing some things like exhaust, intake, injectors and mabe a turbo in the future. what chip would be able to adjust with different tunes the more i progress in modding my truck?

hey man. i have a tony wildman chip in my truck and its a great chip you can adjust it on the fly. it is also a good chip if u have after market parts because its custom tuned its not genaric so i would go with the TW chip if i were you or even a DP tuner would work well. Also ive heard great things about Swamps tuning doing a great job as well.
