Anyone out there bought the ECU Module that Jet just released? Costs about $320 and Jet's website says the Stage 2 module (for cars w/exhaust and intake mods) adds up to 25hp at the wheels. If you have it, I'd love to get your impressions.

 

Unless something has changed over the past 3 or 4 years at Jet, I'd wait until Superchips or Hypertech, or Diablo comes out with their products. I've never noticed any improvements when I installed a Jet Chip in a 99 Ford Ranger 4.0 and a 2002 Ford Expedition. Maybe they are better now, but I got taken in twice by their advertised claims, it won't happen again for me.

 

I had the Jet on a 1996 impala ss, and it did not do a thing. Went with the hypertech and noticed a diff.

 

Jet Stage II on my 99 Dekota R/T got me about .3 tenths improvement on 1/4 mile time. Not worth the money spent!

 

I caved in, just ordered it, only because somebody on the dodgemagnum.net website posted gains after 125 miles on the module

 

It is a general rule of thumb that each 10 hp gain will result in a .1 sec increase in e.t in the 1/4 mile, (if you can hook up, and other variables) 3 tenths would be approximately 30 h.p. and would beat your previous run by at least 3 car lenghts at the top end of the 1/4 mile. That would bring the average mid to low 14 second R/T into the high 13 seconds area and that is very fast for a 4000 lb car. The chip can be had on a group buy in another forum for $250 or so, and I think it's money well spent for approximately 30 h.p. (Of course I am one of the guys that just spent $800 for a set of headers for my R/T so my values may be different) But as far as I am concerned Fast =[sm=happybounce.gif]

 

I too have not had sucsess with Jet Chips. I hope their numbers are accurate for you.

 

Any other chips out...or soon to be released?

 

hey dillo, howd ya get the headers for 800 bucks? Was that part of the group purchase?
sweet deal. I want in, man.

 

There's a group purchase on headers somewhere? Did I sleep thru it or something?
