I think Jet makes their chips from 100% Idaho potatoes.

The Cortex is designed for the newer vehicles and gives a few more options. Both are quality but the Cortex is what I was using before the SCT.

Seems like the sct tuner offers more, however the website says it ships blank. Are there any downloadable tunes for this unit? Like for instance someone like me who has all the basic mods done?

You can buy an SCT tuner and tuning package from KRC. Even buying one blank gives you alot more control than any of the others do. The only down side is you can't tune the tranny. Hemifever@aol.com who is Mr. Sean Powell writes my tunes. He also offers SCT and tuning packages.

I have been on the fence with superchips (I read the forum and got worried after reading some horror stories) but I posted about them and a couple member responded and everything is positive with the new models. Im going with the cortex, just for the reason if I want to resell it, it supports more models so I should be able to sell it easier.

The 2 year warranty wont matter for me. I just rolled over to 99k this weekend, and the warranty is only good to 100k.

It would be interesting to see if anyone has ever had to use it. In a way, I doubt it. It may just be one of their gimics. You have to read the terms on it real carefully. For example, if you motor blow up after you put the program in, they may say it isnt the programs fault because you had a CAI on the engine, or something like that. But, I could be wrong.
