Default what i heard about the jet stage 2 chip...just to be considered i guess..

hey just gave me the printouts...so here it is...right after this commercial break...

The Jet chip is a waste. All 3 runs were nearly identical...within 1-2hp of each other across the board.

Run 1 was with the chip and max hp was 119.2
Run 2 no chip max hp as 118.85
Run 3 chip and reset computer max hp 119.15

A/F ratio is the same across the board...very subtle changes. My car starts at 15 @ 3000rpm in 4th and then goes up to 18 @4K and then drop to 16 @ 5000rpm and holds there to cut out

So my car had 119 hp, 127ft lbs ot torque and avg. a/f r of 16

Now i have to see if I can get my $$$ back from Howell or Jet.

ANy contributions to the "sorry dude" fund can be paypaled to grzyruth@cableone.net

Good news is that resetting the comp. didn't do anything so hopefully that helps dispell the NGC myth.

What does a stock SXT run at the wheels anyway?

Thanks

I called Howell and they said sorry we are just the distributor...

I called Jet and they said you can ship it to us and we can check the chip out or send you a new one but we can't give you your money back cause you didn't buy it from us.

WHen I said the dyno had no change they said that when I took the chip out, it still had the program in it and that I had to take the chip out and drive it for 100-150 miles and then go back to the dyno and I would see less power.

I told him I reset the computer and he said unless you have a Chrysler reflashing tool you can;t just reset the comp by pulling the neg. battery terminal. I don;t know much about anything but I know I am not going to blow more $$ proving this chip does not work. If anybody else wants to buy a slightly used chip and try to prove that it does work...just let me know.

119 WHP on an MTX with CAI, UDP, exhaust, and chip doesn't seem too impressive.

Jet said they had 109 WHP on their atx neon before the chip and 121 after....so they are saying a stock atx gets more out of the chip than my mtx with the other upgrades....I am waggin the coohockey flag so hard I dislocated my shoulder!

Weak. What a surprise. The car should have dyno'ed that high without the chip, so yeah, I would agree it was worthless. Screw that chip....boost is where its at.

Damnit! What will we do about our lovable PCM.
Thank you for finding out the truth about that chip by the way.
If it makes you feel any better you saved me money! J/K
