Well... Get Matt over here... We have very few 7.3 tuners over here!!!

My three picks would be Swamps, Gearhead or PHP... Elite is right there as well.

Jody (of DP Tuner) is not near me either. He's way down in TN. I ordered mine via a few phone calls. Everyone will have their favorites. That's for sure.

The point I was making is that he went the extra mile to give me a custom tune. I have since turned several of my local friends on to DP Tuner and they have all been very satisfied.

I came to DP Tuner after exhausting Edge and SCT. I liked the electronic screens with gauges but nothing else was good. Those made more smoke as well. It also turns out that the gauges were crap too. My EGT's always looked like I was heating up to 1500* at WOT!!! The boost never looked higher than 24 psi either. Then, with both of those tuners I added my Di Pricol analog gauges. The boost was that low but EGT's were 1100*. That means there was more left to go.

With my DP Tuner set on 120 hp Race I have seen 31 psi and 1300* EGT's with very little smoke -- all with a stock turbo!!! Shifts are firm and right on. I told him he ought to package my shift point strategy and use that for basic mailorder tunes.:c:

I don't get it. Are you being sarcastic, like DP Tuner had something to do with your engine carnage? Please explain in detail.:humm:

To much timing and CP can cause anything to happen.

I would expect the rods to give before the block unless there was a problem with the block already- improper casting, damage, etc.
