Hey everybody! I've got a 2000 7.3 and was kinda wondering about the best chip. I know all of you 6.0 guys are ravin about the SCT Xcal2 custum tuned. I guess my question is, is anyone running it on a 7.3 and if so how does it do. If not does anyone have a suggestion as to which way I should turn. If messed around with Edge a little, hated the juice w/ attitude, evolution wasnt so bad, but just wondering what out there is better? Any help and/or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I put a Diablo in with a 54 hp setting and a 96 hp setting. I am very satisfied and have seen a dramatic increase in fuel economy. Still waiting to hand calulate it, but the overhhead has gone up 5 mpg running on 96 hp and normal driving where before I was showing 13 mpg I am now showing 18+.

SCT is a great option for someone not wanting to go the chip route, You can have custom tunes loaded and new one's e-mailed to you and you can load them yourself.

Get some gauges first if you dont already, any tuner will raise the EGT's to a higher then stock condition.

I love my DP-Tuner 5 position Chip! Huge improvement over the Banks Six Gun stacked with the Edge Evolution. Good luck with whatever you choose. There are a lot of good ones out there, and also some Great ones!

Thanks

Thanks for the advice. If I was to find a sct xcal2, do you know of anyone who would send me the tunes to my pc, and if so how much?

I'm running the SCT Xcal2 with the standard SCT tunes. They are the only tunes I have ran on my truck other than stock. I like them a lot, but I'm thinking about getting the 80Econo from DP Tuner just to see how I like that.

Your not getting that kind of increases, your over head is now garbage...

Most programers like that are around $350-$500
