Hey, I can't force it on the guy. He can only go by what he knows. What I do know is that when I took the chip out and drove the truck to the dealership to trade it in I had no idea what truck I was driving because it wasn't the beast that I was used to. Definitely gives it bigger nuts. With the exhaust and the K&N it sounded downright nasty. Whoever gets that truck is going to get a nice one. I'll miss her but I think I'm in love with the Lancer. The CVT transmission is absolutely incredible! I'll stop now.

e I'm just not used to a chip vs. tuners. What exactly does it change? I know it maybe advances the timing a little to dump in more fuel but other than that I don't know.

well if it is good for 20, its only at the crank anyway. And since the TCM is seperate from the PCM where the jet plugs in, I highly doubt it changes the shift points. I think Your referring to the little more power you get high in the rpm band right before it shifts

I had the jet 2, sold it cuz I was in Cali and couldnt keep payin the 3.80 gas. But even with all the push-pull feedback I heard about it I loved it when I had it. I felt the biggest difference when I took it out, my truck was sluggish again
