As with anything all trucks respond differently to the same mods.

A tuner in Indianna can not possibly dial in a truck in Texas.

Get it to a good tuner and put it on the dyno and get a tune for it. No way that you can beat going with a live Dyno/Tune Session.

Another important question is what type of tires are you using ? And any type of traction bars, traction is a really big issue in the 1/8. Get it on a dyno and get a better tune, and some traction. Then you might see some high 7's.

Why change the chip and waste your money on another. It is the tune in the chip. Not the chip itself!
