A buddy of mine has the cheapa$$diesel chip and he loves it. Cost him 65 dollars for his dodge and he wont let it go. But his wife is dead set against him modifying the truck any more than that. Even a new exhaust is out of the question!

About damage, he hasnt suffered anything in his Dodge, but thats not to say that soemthing hasnt happened in before. If he has a good reputation on Ebay then it might be ok. I would prefer saving for EFI Live, but thats just me.

How much does EFI live cost where you are? I am looking at getting re-programmed so my tire size can get changed and my speedo will be accurate again... but am worried about boosting the HP without working on the tranny first. I hate to spend the money for just a tire re-calibration!
