sorry i ment 200 ft lbs of torque. SO if a chip is considered mild tuning then why is it that these chips cause the engines to have to be rebuilt sooner than what a diesel should be? (besides that people race and beat on these trucks hard) Chips change shift points, boost controls, fuel all that stuff is modified and reprogrammed from what they are reliably set at from stock. If that was considered a mild tuning than why aren't they putting reprogrammed systems in them from the get go to say they are better than the compition? I would say that mild tuning would be intake and exhaust and maybe fuel delivery (all in which doesn't void the warranty like most chips do) just like any other "mild tuning" done to a combustion engine.
Also, you can bet that edge, bully dog, etc will be comming out with all the goodies for the toyota that they produce now for the big 3. (We called edge the other day and they're in the process of making a chip for the new tundras!) Even still if the toyota is 50 of each hp and ft lbs below the compition with the chip, the quality that toyota brings might just out way that extra 50 of each that they are lacking. Cause really who is gonna brag that they're got 50 more ft lbs of torque when they are over the 500 ft lb mark? that really is nothing for diesels.
