Chip Question?
Has anyone tried to use a PCM chip before from an aftermarket company. I was just screwing around today and came across the Jet Performance Stage II chip which advertises a 25 horsey gain tune. For a tune chip...are these any good or would it be better to stick to PCM for less or a mechanic/dyno tune?

I wasted money on a hypertech and another ebay chip before I got smart and contacted ski_dwn_it, a forum member and supporting vendor for one of his custom chips. My car NEVER made the power it makes now with his chip. Save your money on the over-the-counter chips and get one custom made for your car. BTW, the ebay chip almost cost me my engine, just one more reason to get one from someone who knows what he's doing.

JET SUCKS! I have had a personal screwing from them and many others as well. I have read their so called custom chips and found some of them with ABSOLUTELY no changes, another one of their custom chips for a blower application had fuel removed from the PE tables and timing added!! Avoid them like you would HERPES!

Chip
Put a Traco chip in my 86, it made a tremendous difference. Put a Jet chip in my 92, it dyno'd 2 HP less than the stock chip. Aftermarket chips seem to help in L98's, but not in LT1/4's from my experience.
