I need some chip advice

I just bought a 2001 Dodge 2500 Cummins and I am looking for a chip for it so I thought I would come here for some suggestions. I dont want something too big that will cause other problems to occur. It already has K&N cold air intake and Banks exhaust. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, if you have an Auto, I'd say get a Smarty or VanAaken. Will stay cooler and keep the tranny alive.

If you have a stick, upgrade the clutch and get the Juice or spend the big bucks and get a Smarty and TST.

I love my Juice and you cannot beat the value of $700 for 120 hp plus gauges.

Smarty + guages. Then if you want more, make injectors + tranny/clutch next.

I do have an automatic tranny. What about the edge comp? Would it probably be a bit much for the tranny? Does anyone know how much mpg the smarty adds?

Mileage results vary with the smarty, but several have reported 20+ on the highway with fuel saver mode. My last fill up was 17+ with city/ highway/ mountain/ hotrod miles on level 7. Fuel saver mode is less violent than the setting I'm using though
