Computer chip
Alright...so i was juts dinking around on the internet and found this one chip made by hypertech. I saw that what you actually do is call this place up, tell them what you all have done to your engine, they customize this chip so your computer will function with what you did to your engine. So i saw a post on this earlier by someone. Dixiedarkhorse said something about this expect actually bringing it in and having a shop dyno the truck and all the business. so....i was wondering...do ya think this is a good idea since i dont have that option?

I'd do a tried and true method of supping up the truck... instead of a "magic chip".
Remember, There's not a big difference in having a powerful truck and a truck you can't drive in the rain. Just keep that in mind during your modding.

Its not the fact that i "want" the chip. its the fact that if i punch it out .30 over, new intake, all that business and port and polish the heads.....will i need to redo the computer to "hold" the power.

Sounds like you are doing it right, if you purchase a chip from a reputable maker that designed it for you mods you should be good to go. Usually you will also need to upgrade your injectors along with everything else, these are usually recommended by the chip manufacturer.

I use a tweecer on mine up side of that is I can keep changing the settings
myself down side is 95 EECs from trucks kinda suck because to get the best bang out of this chip is the ability for me to data log and you cant with truck EECs but i kinda found a way around that.
