Got it fixed.it was one pinched wore.got it all together ran great which like I said it's still knocking so who knows but anyway it just seemed alittle sluggish on stock and I drive a na 6.9 lol so I turned the chip on to like 140 just to see what she would do an damn it layed me back.she was actually blowin black smoke now instead of brownish and she was pretty mean.then it felt like it started muddin agian but not bad just alittle one like maybe one cylinder missin. I have no idea what would cause it.it only seems like it's at idle and when you change the chip it drops down like before.on stock you would think it would be fine if it was the chip causeing it wouldn't you?

Drivers side head towards the front by the fuel bowl. 3 wire plug.
With it running when you unplug it, there should be a noticeable change in idle.

Other than that, maybe ohm the injectors.
Believe it or not, these obs actually run pretty rough.

Probably the chip.
The trucks with split shot injectors run way smother.
I've had people ask me if my truck is cammed. Lol
From here double check wires, then you need to get a way to run a Cylinder Contribution Test.

Are you saying it only acts up when the chip is turned "on" ? If so it could be a bad connection at the ECU.
