Default MP-8?

So i was told an mp-8 would maybe help out my fuel mileage and maybe little bit of hp gain and also add a boost fooler? is this something i should look into or would it be less expensive to just buy a programmer?I'm getting rid of my banks for good and don't wanna go back with banks ever.any help is appreciated.

TS performance clams the MP-8 will give you 2-4mpg increase (right off there web site), I have no first hand experience with it but from what I've heard its comparable with the TST power max which also clams a MPG increase and plenty of performance and they can also be stacked with a programmer like the smarty which is another good option for increasing MPG and power by its self. I've heard nothing but great reviews for the smarty especially since they came out with the Power On Demand option and its said to be the coolest EGT running programmer on the market. When it comes down to it its all personal preference (module or programmer) for what you want and how much you want to spend, programmers aren't necessarily cheaper than modules like the MP-8.

Give us a little more idea of what you want:
1. How much do you want to spend
2. how much power are you looking to gain
3. Do you want to be able to change power levels while on the road
4. Programers usually can adjust for larger tires sizes

K with getting my S&B and everything i really don't want to go over $1,000.
I don't need much more power but when i pull my telehandler,skidloader, and others trailers a little more low end would be nice, and i would like to be able to change levels on the road, and i do have bigger tires and wheels.

The MP-8 is definitely a good choice for you then and you can get it for around $400, thats less than some of the other modules out there it will do everything you want except adjust for larger tires or you could buy the smarty or smarty JR and it will do everthing with the new power on demand feature but there is a little more involved in switching it and they are more expensive. They can be run together later if you get more into bombing. post up in the price quote area to see what kind of price the vendors can hook you up with.

New the standard S06 is around $700, The S06-POD is the new one and is more expensive but you can update to POD later on a standard S06 so you can switch levels on the road.
