What chip? Seems like something generic.

No chips. You can choose between Superchips and Predator if you want a handheld (canned) tuner, but I suggest you find a local tuner, discuss options with him, and have a custom tune done.

Plug kit, and keep the roadside number handy JIC!

Small air compressor that fits in a rear compartment and plugs into the DC outlet. Otherwise the plug kit won't help much when the tire is still flat.

I would stay away from a "one size fits all" tune. You need complete customiztion when it comes to tuning.

Send me a PM if you have any questions. I'll get you up to speed on what's available if you like.
