I had the traction contol half/on until I stopped at a light after the second time he tried to run me in town. Was at about 95 when I really started leaving him but I always noticed a gain in the top end with the chip. Funny thing is the midrange power seems better once the traction control lets go with it's still on. I drive fairly aggressive and the truck would jump before the chip, now it seems like the traction control doesn't let it do that.
I really wish I had the 08 traction control with the VSC off and LSD on but the 07 doesn't. Also thinking about putting the chip in the 08 and seeing if it responds the same way.
The 08 consistantly get's 16-17 but it has stock tires still. Have 33x12.50's Toyo MT's on the 07 and I know they are much heavier, I think it's close to 30 pounds. Before that I had my 305 BF AT KO's, not as heavy but still never got the milage the 08 does.

Did you get the harnesses to mount the way they have them in the picture or hovering over the top so all the harnesses would fit like me and a few others on here?
Mine is installed similarly to the pictures, but again, I disconnected the fuse box and OEM wire harness support in order to get it that way. You should really run a couple tanks on the 87 octane (map 0) setting before going to the premium. The premium setting (map 1) advances timing and is more aggressive. You must turn VSC/LSD off completely by holding it until the squiggly lines appear. If you did this and still felt a loss of power at full throttle, maybe you shouldn't run the premium map until you can get tuned for it. Your truck may be more sensitive to knock and could be pulling timing. Also, I believe the premium map is tuned for 93 octane fuel. If all you have access to is 91, you should consult Unichip before running this map. Or you should add some octane booster at each fill up to be safe. DO NOT run the premium fuel map with anything less than 93 octane fuel in your tank. Also, don't flip the switch while leaving the gas station after filling up with premium. Drive it around for a while to make sure the 87 is purged.
