[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 294828, member: 2862"] This is one of the biggest problems with many of the chip manufacturers in the business. They seem to think that dumping fuel into the cylinders is the best way to make power. What they can't seem to fathom is that all they're doing is quenching the fire and _killing_ power, not making more. An ideally tuned truck will let out a light puff of smoke when you first get into it, then clean up as the turbo begins to spool up. Reputable chips, like the Edge, utilize the manifold pressure as one of the variables in determining how much fuel to send out. Since the turbo lags a bit, you're going to get a slight puff as the initial heavy shot comes in, but once the MAP moves, the chip should read the manifold pressure and (more important) delta manifold pressure to determine future fueling. Again, babbling about TST, but they have an 'aggression' setting, in addition to an overall fueling setting. You could program how heavy a shot was sent at low boost. In this way, you could easily tune for altitude and differences in turbochargers. Edge did put aggression settings in their Comp box for the Dodge, however I'm unsure if they put any kind of aggression setting on the Juice for the 6.0L. Rod [/QUOTE]
