Default Which chip/programmer do I choose?

I have a 2002 F250 7.3. This truck has 186,000 miles, has a cold air intake, 4" turbo back exhaust, is there a chip/programmer that is better or has better reviews, I see there are several different ones available.

we used the edge seemed to give it a lil gogo not to bad but there is only so much you can do to those 7.3's before you need to upgrade that hpop

the edge has a tendancy to be hard on trannys on the fords, your best bet is a custom tuned TS, Tony Wildman at totaldieselperformance.com is my personal favorite.

Ok thank you for the help, I will check into the ts custom, have heard a lot of people talk about them, and they all seem to have good things to say about the ts custom.

Definitely go with a TS from one of the three mentioned above. You won't be dissapointed.

I have a banks 6 gun on mine, works well and the power levels are definitely noticable, but you dont get any custom tuning besides setting your turbos max boost level. Let me know how the TS works out because I have been thinking about changing mine.

I run PHP and haven't had any complaints yet. Much better for every day driving than the canned tunes. If you have an auto the tow tunes are awesome for driving in traffic with heavy loads.
