Powerstroke chips don't alter boost level, rather they alter the injection timing and fuel delivery. More fuel means more power and boost. Of course you need a free flowing way of getting it in and out (conical filter, bigger downpipe and 5 inch exhaust on big chips).

I have talked with many different calibrators and they said it depends on the car, but most of the time chips are even done conservatively by chip manufacturers. They sell chips for all cars by a base program (a "safe" program). All cars are different and by tailoring to the different needs you unlock the potential. This is especially true on modified cars with stock computers.

#1 More boost.
#2 That's why just about everybody knows out of the box chips don't add **** for hp.
#3 Unlocking the potenital can give you 20hp on a stock Mustang, maybe a couple more, and on cars with significant mods, you usually see a gain of about 40hp.

I don't know if it was you or somebody else, but somebody was babbling about 100hp flywheel from electronics on a 5.0. LOL!!! Do you honestly think if that were true the guy that figured that out wouldn't be a gazillionaire by now? Not even a ricer would make that claim.

Bottom line, don't believe everything a washed up old Ford ex-engineer tells you.
