Jet chips makes a plug in control module. Most people will bash them, but they are the only ones with anything for the v6's. You can search for people's opinions of them which mostly say they fry ecm/ecu's, do nothing at all to increase power, and/or the computer adjusts after some time back to stock. I have one and felt it with my butt dyno after I installed it. I haven't dyno'd it or anything, but Jet has a dyno sheet for it here http://www.jetchip.com/dyno.asp?folder=Dodge it's the one at the bottom. I have a stage one chip and Derrick has a stage 2, so if you want to know anything else just ask.

I don't have the B&G if that's what your asking. It is kind of a hassle since you need a spare pcm or to be w/o a vehicle until they flash your's. I'm sure they do a great job, but I don't think I want a premium only tune on my truck that I can't take off.

so exactly how much power does the chip add?
how much will it improve, lets say, your 0-60 times?

Don't know, Jet's dyno for the stage 1 says 2 hp at 2500 rpm with peak of 15hp at 5k rpm. If anyone has times from a track when their truck was stock you could get comparisons to see what it gives you.
