For the money, quality of tune, and individual customization, my opinion is that they're the best deal around, period.

Chips are only useful when they are custom, and only then when you have significant modifications or are completely done with all mods you have planned and just want to optimize it. They do not give the power gains that are claimed by most makers.

I would not buy anything but a custom chip.
