7.3L Chip Shootout

For the better part of a year I’ve been testing out several custom chips for the 7.3L Power Stroke…

 


And now a trip to the dyno will conclude the testing. Although I wasn’t particularly interested in how much horsepower each chip could lay down on the rollers, I know that is an important aspect to showcase to our readers. Throughout the testing, I evaluated each chip on its driving characteristics (especially its mannerisms on the street on the hottest setting), tune uniqueness, how the truck started, idled, managed EGT, and allowed the transmission to shift. I also took note of each chips smokiness, or lack thereof, under full, partial, and light throttle. It’s been fun, but as stated, tomorrow ends the testing.

Here are the chips I’ve been evaluating:
-Total Diesel Performance: six-position chip
-DP Tuner: F5 16-position chip
-Brian’s Truck Shop: six-position chip
-Elite Diesel: six-position chip
