You will be fine with a TS 6pos Chip..... I would highly recommend a set of gauges first.

Head gaskets would be the least of my worries when adding a chip to a 7.3. I don't doubt that You've seen a ford blow head gaskets but its not common on a 7.3.

And i agree, you should have a set of gauges, at the very least an egt gauge
