Here are some that I found. I can't comment on them, I've never used any of them.

I have the Jet Chip for my 94 and all i noticed is that it is a little snappier in the revving but thats it. No gain in MPG and with 35's hard to tell if any hp was gained by the faithful feel it in the seat trick. Was it worth the $200 I spent on it...prolly not.

I put a hypertech chip on my 92 f250 and it wrecked my fuel pressure regulator and flooded my engine with fuel till a gallon of fuel came out my exhaust,washed my bottom end clean and spun a crank bearing

Id never buy another one of those. Had a close buddy that had one on his 99F150 and it took the tranny out in less than 3 week. Pressure was way too high and held the shifts too long.

Thats a bummer man.

At first i thought it was a top end noise so i did a cam and lifters and it still made the noise.I drove it for 6 months of hard driving with the f-ed bearing before it finally spit the c-rod out of the block...351w are tough as hell!
