I would like to get more power out of it and was looking at getting a 6 position chip for it. I was hoping to get your advice on how you would approach this whether I need custom tunes or what not, or what you would do different and so on. From everything I have been told it is highly recommended to put gauges in the truck before putting a chip in it so one of my buddies has a bullydog watchdog that he is selling and was wondering if you think that would be okay to use or should I get something else. You guys come highly recommended so I figured I would ask the experts. Thanks for your help!

The watchdog would work for reading the OEM sensors... but unless it has an EGT (Pyro) Probe... you won't be able to read EGTs with it. Also, the OEM sensor that it reads boost from only reads up to 22ish PSI....and with a chip and 4" exhaust you couls be pushing 30. Really your best bet is a set of gauges, which will have their own sensors.
Welcome to the forum. You will love PHP's tunes if you get them!
