Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled)
Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip.

If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here.

Default Couple of questions....

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2001 F250 7.3L Powerstroke that was bone stock. I'm sure that many others on this forum can't have a stock "plain jane" vehicle like myself . So because of this I have been looking at mods and reading which are the most beneficial. Of course, I quickly found out that a chip was the best bang for the buck. I plan on going with PHP due to all the good reviews I have found and positive feedback I've seen from customers.

I don't plan on more than some mild mods (intake, exhaust, gauges, chip, etc.). I have already gotten an intake, and was planning on the chip next. The question I have though is, should I get the gauges (mainly the pyrometer)before the Phoenix chip? Because from reading, I see that high EGT's are bad and I can't imagine the restrictive stock exhaust can be great at keeping them down.

So would it be ok to get the chip first, and then a couple months down the road get the gauges and exhaust? Just figured I'd ask some people with more experience with PSDs than myself!

Thanks!

I have a 2002 and I just ordered a phoenix, an edge insight is going to make it out here probably around christmas time , and I will get the pyrometer with that. I was wondering the same thing and I was told that on stock injectors and exhaust we aren't going to get too high of EGTs... Once we are towing something heavy the EGT's will climb, so a sensor then would be a good idea, but if you are just using it as a daily driver then you will be fine for a few months with the chip and no gauges. The other benefit of getting the chip sooner is that if you drive right, you might see better gas mileage which will help offset the cost of the guages

I don't have any trouble getting my EGTs to 1200+ using my 80DD or 100HP programs when I put my foot into it, and I have stock injectors (at least I think I do). You might want to be a little cautious until you get some gauges. At the same time, I am starting to question what EGT levels are "too high", especially for brief periods. I would also recommend getting a boost gauge. If you get a boost leak, you need to know about it. Boost leaks cause higher EGTs, among other issues.
