Default Performance Tuners

Do these things really work?
Hate to give up this kind of money on electronics that don't even work.
Which one is best?

Have you ever heard of any of these companies?

Yes they work, which one is best, that I can not vouch for... but yes, they do work.

I have personal experience with the superchips, and have had nothing but positive results.

Umm Yeah....
Just hearing of these companies doen't mean these things are worth having. I am really hoping to hear first hand testimonials from folks who hav or hav had and what they thought.

Thanks though

Hypertech = GM based, i use to have it nothing special out of it except for a new speed of 128 instead of 115.

Superchips = Best for Dodge, they have diffrent setting tow/performance/ect. and they raise the limiter a bit more then 128

Jetchips/any chips = Go with a handheld programmer, like the ones above chips will not increase speed limiter, and all they do is give you better air/fuel curves, and run 92 octane.

Also if you do use any of these you will need to buy a 180thermostat.

I LOVE my SuperChips (03 Quad Cab 2X4 Automatic, K&N Intake, NGK plugs). The difference between stock and 87 Octane Performance setting is great!
I recently put in 91 octane, and am trying out the tow setting, but I'm not very impressed so far. I seem to have lost my solid shifts at WOT. I'll be switching to 91 Octane Performance this weekend.
I highly recommend SuperChips.

I've been pretty happy with the hypertech. I'd like to get a superchips and head over to the dyno to see what's what.
