Title: Tuners for 7.3 powerstroke
Post by: HellYeah4x4 on March 07, 2013, 03:44:57 AM
Thinking about getting a tuner/chip for my 99.5 superduty. Not looking to go crazy. Gonna do a straight pipe exhaust and a better air intake. Thinking about a TS 6 position chip for the 60hp and 80hp boost for towing. Wondering what others on this site have used?

And if you put a tuner on it have a cone filter and you have to have a egt gauge!

Your truck being a 99 has forged rods so you can run the 140hp tune safe mine is a 02 with powder metal rods so the most I can run is 120hp

i honestly cant say either way but i can tell u this im pretty sure ur not gonna want much more than the ts. does on the extreme setting it bellows black smoke and feels like its got enough torqe to bust the tranny in half with out an issue needless to say i leave her on the 50hp setting and its perfect for me
