programmer > TMR mod?
I drive a 2003 and from what i've researched that i wont really get much out of a diablo but i'm not 100% sure about the SC programmer. I did the TMR mod and love it, i can really feel the difference in my shifting but i want more power i just dont want to spend the money for half the availability that an 04+ gets with the programmer...Any suggestions on what to do?

What gears do you have bud?
If 3:55's or 3:92's, go for the 4:56's.
Apparently, that's the best bang for the buck you can get.
The other option is long tubes a good CAI and then a cam. But if you go that route, the 45-50 hp gains will be offset by a difficulty in tuning. Our 03's have crap PCM's, so are notoriously difficult to tune. A big cam with a lot of LSA throws codes at idle and we can't raise the RPM's at idle with the 03's to deal with this. It can be done though by choosing a slightly milder cam.
Save your superchips money and drop it on the gear change.

03 only 
I have 3.92 in my truck right now, i've already done longtubes and a CAI and i just hear about everyone talking about how they get 20-40 hp gains from the programmer and it makes me jealous
If i were going to get a programmer, for those with an 03, what do you guys suggest?

If I were you, I'd do an e-fan conversion and a new torque converter. I know that because it's my next set of eventual mods. They'll both make a noticeable difference in how the truck drives.
After that I'd do gears too, except with 4x4 it'll cost double, meaning $1500ish or more.
I have the old SC 3715 and I know there are newer models but I don't know if they do anything more than this one does.
It really is amazing how much faster a regular cab 2wd truck is too, almost like a Charger with a bed in back!
