No chips for 6.0s first of all. They use programmers. SCT is the most widely used and accepted as the safest and highest horsepower, provided you have the custom tuning to go with it. Everyone knows I am an SCT fan... (Karls03 )

Do some searching around and you will see. You can also ask around on powerstroke.org and powerstrokenation.com

for me i loved my superchip bc i was under warranty and didnt want to do and sct till i could do a full live wire and not worry about warranties. idk if that matters to you or not. but i did just get my sct (no custom tunes yet) bc i wanna get a free tune for a guy and i wanna wait till i get headstuds before i start to go to the high hp lvls

that said i posted a similar thread to this and you wouldnt believe how many ppl told me SCT.

as for me i cant speak for anything but my superchip for now but i think im gunna be really happy with the sct

Superchips are notorious for extreme timing and blowing headgaskets. A superchips will blow a headgasket on a lower HP tune than a custom tuned SCT with more power.

This is apparent if you've ever seen the star pattern sprayed on the top of the pistons from one such truck.

riddick01, I dont follow bud... you used the superchips to keep your warranty in tact, but didn't want to use the SCT?
