Send it back. I haven't heard of anyone who said they had good results, but plenty of people who have had bad ones. They don't do anything. If you want a true chip, the only one made for us is currently made by proautoman. He's located in Ft Myers. 3 hour drive for us and he will install it and dyno for you for free. Get your money back before they change their minds.

Not yet, but a couple TT members have and they said they had good results. He will include dyno time to tune it in the price of the box. They are supporting vendors and are also licensed Calloway guys, which is a 5 star endorsement in the eyes of the vette guys. When I'm ready, I'll have him do it for mine.

Send it back. My neighbor got one for his Ranger and actually LOST performance.

Don't do it... Searching on the forum will get you some info.

For the money (actually less), you can go with a programmable piggy-back unit and have a lot more fun.

The JET chip is simply kicking a bit more fuel and advancing the timing a hair. That _will_ gain you performance, but no where near as much as what you can get on your own. The JET chip is designed to be conservative so that it doesn't introduce pinging issues.
