ok so i installed my chip lastnight. HOOOOLLLLLYYYYYYYY crap is it awsome. my face hurts from the smile i had. but i have some concerns.
1. boost hits 25 some times when i shift up hill.
2. when i put it on stock mode it runs like crap then kinda clears up
3. it takes longer to start. i keep it in 80eco when i shut down. (is that ok)

Sounds like you had the same reaction i did when i first drove mine after my DP experience.I read somewhere that you need to let your engine warm up to operating temp before you start to change the chips positions.When you put it stock does the idle down for a sec or two then come back up?The boost i beleive if you don't go over 25 lbs alot you should be good.Anyways welcome to the Dp Tuner club.

My DP chip is on its way so I'll be grinnin right along with you next week.
From what I've read its fine to shut down and start up in any chip setting except for when its cold out and then it's recommended to start up in stock mode until it warms up.

You guys are going to make it real hard for me to work today. I just got my chip last night. I am now going to be worthless all day thinking about it. I am really excited to see how the new DP tunes with big oil burns and my new Stealth pump wake my truck up.

I think I would slow down on the racing unless you have gotten that pyro that you didn't have a week ago. The tranny and boost gauges aren't going to save you engine due to EGTs. You're putting out some high EGTs going with 25# of boost with a stock exhaust. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif just my opinion!

Also, Banks has good stuff from what I hear, the only problem is the price. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

Where is the best place to get a DP from price wise?? And do they work with the auto tranny? Does it change anything in the way the tranny performes?

Just work with Jody and he will suggest some things. He will want to know if you have a stock trans or not. VB installed, etc. He will program it to maximize what you have. Even if stock, your shifting will be better.

Fellas, all I can say is Jody is gooooooooood!!! Just got the DP tunes installed. I am still shaking. I was running edge evolution stacked with juice prior to this and I have to say, 80E beats anything the other two programs could muster up. Shifts awsome. Only problem now is I think a new turbo will be needed soon. I get up to 28-30psi before I even know what is going on. Also, I have to pay attention to egt's a bit. Minor problems that can be fixed with more $$$$$$. Needless to say I am pretty satisfied so far. I think I will probably go thru a tank of go juice this weekend just lighting it up.

I've been running an Evolution for the past two years and I have an F5 on the way too. So you're saying I'm going to notice a difference over the Evolution? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I am saying you are going to kick youself for not buying a DP tuner long ago. Night and day difference. Another thing I noticed is it actually made my AFE stage II sound different. You can really hear the air being sucked in. If you like that kind of thing. Could be just my imagination too since I was so giddy during my first drive.

I have been taking it easy, for fuel mileage reasons (last three fill-ups, I averaged 20.75 mpg in 80e). I set the cruise on 68mph and the BMW's and the like go by doing 80mph. I just laugh to myself and think how they have no idea what I have under the hood. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif
