Default Best Chip for your $$$

Okay...I've seen some positive and negative replies on the Hypertech Stage II chip that I purchased to install. If all it's really going to make a difference with is turning my fans on sooner and adjusting the fuel curve at wide-open throttle, I wonder if it's worth the $200 I paid for the chip.
What is the best chip for your money? I know each person's experience is probably unique, but I'm not aware of what the other chips are capable of.

Thanks!

Tom

if you have a fairly stock car you can go to fastchip.com & pay ed $159 for a stronger curve, bring your fans on at 185 and use a 160deg therm & notice a fairly decent HP increase. cheaper than hypertech and also better a better product.

You have the best chip fast 90.
If you plan to mod your car a great deal then the only good chip is a chip you burn or someone else burns for your car, based off realtime data from your car.
