I would upgrade lift pump first and then put an Edge Juice w/Attitude. It has built in digital gauges on display. You can pick up one ebay fairly cheap.

Food for thought: Once you add horsepower and torque to your engine, the weak links in the drivetrain will begin to show. #1: Torque Converter - you may develop chatter. #2: U jounts may go if they are worn. #3: Pinion Gear/bearing may begin to whine.

I have had a chip for 5 years and have found it to be the best addition to the truck. A new exhaust to enable it to breath a little better may be a good addtion as well.

Cheers..........
