Hey all i was just curious if i could get any input on anyones experience with any performace tuning or chips. brands and how they performed. Im interested and am completely lost on this topic. i have a 1997 Ranger with a 3.0l and just looking for a little more umph. or if not a programer what other performace parts or anything i could swap out partswise so it is not as sluggish pushing the bigger tires.
 
most chips/tunes out there are not worth the money is what iv picked up here, the ones that do work i dont know much about so il let those who do talk bout that.

best results your going to get to help with pushing the bigger tires is to Re-gear your truck.

also a big help is making sure your engine is in good shape, IE: plugs an wires ect.
 
Personally I think Chips are a waste of Money, Although if you upgrade your Intake and Exhaust you might get more power.
4.0 or maybe a 5.0 Swap and Gearing if you want power :)
 
I have heard good things about the Superchips programmer for the 3.0, but I guess I will just have to wait and fine out for myself.
 
get you a set of underdrive pulleys best upgrade for the money you can feel a difference in power and i got a little better mpg
 
any changes to intake and exhaust will need to be coupled with a re-tune of the ECU to see the full benefit.
 
I just ordered the superchips programmer and I got a 3.0. Just regeared to 4.10s in my 8.8 and I need to change my shift points because it's very off now. It may not give much power or mpg difference but they have many good things
