Default 7.3 programer/chip questions

Im looking into buying a programer/chip for my 2000 Ford F-350 with the 7.3 powerstroke. Looking for suggestions on what would be the best choice for this truck.

Don't get a programmer. Get yourself a Custom tuned Chip. PHP, TW, Gearhead, Beans, Swamps...etc.

I just installed the TS 6 position in my 01 7.3, 6spd manual. Love it. Program is anti-theft, high idle, normal, 50, 75, 100hp. pull goose neck on 50, truck on 75. on 75hp, gained 3 mpg. Just got to learn to keep my foot out of it. It's got alot of giddy-up-go.

AGREED! At first I thought the generic TS was nice...then it was reburned by Swamp's...there is no comparison. Drop a request in the "price quote" section and one of these vendors will have/or can get what you need.

i put a edge evolution cs in my truck and i love it, just depends on what you want programers are good so are chips. they both add about the same power if you dont add other mods.

Alot depends on who does it, and what you want. My Swamp's reburn was $100 (I got a deal due to mis-information) but is normally $200. I think Tony Wildman is $150. Site sponsors could surely get you a good deal too.
