RE: Tuners/Chips for 4.7
I've got the Stage 2 Jet Chip on my truck, and I'll give you my experience with it: For the $200 I spent, I'm fairly happy. I picked mine up from RPMoutlet, which was the cheapest retailer I could find at the time. The stage 2 does demand 91 octane or better, I tried to cheap out and put in 89, but the truck just felt laggy. I did pick up a little but of extra mileage, but not really anymore to justify the extra 20 cents per gallon. I'm saving maybe a buck per tank of gas. Add in the cost of the chip, and I figure it will take about 7,500 miles to break even. So if your looking at for pure fuel economy reasons, don't. However, the throttle response is much better, the truck has a bit more get up and go than it did before, and the shifts (I've got an automatic) are much smoother and crisper. I've had it for about four months and put on about 5,000 miles and haven't experienced any issues with it, or noticed the PCM "relearning" like some others have claimed. All in all, I'm happy with it, the improved throttle response makes it worth to me, but don't expect to save yourself much at the pump.
