JET PCM Chip Stage 2 startup

[brink]

Does anyone have this.. It seems like after i put it in my exhaust it like toned down or something. I mean like when i start my car theres not that intially BLAST of sound after letting it sit overnight. It just cranks and flows through normaly i mean the startup sound it still pretty intense.. just not as much it seems like.

I got to thinking.. and with all this talk about backpressure and my tranny mount and whatnot being the reason i cant burnout.. could this be a symptom of why when i startup its like that, it seems like the engine doesnt have as much pressure that its releasing when i start it anymore after installing the chip..

I dont even know if it has anything to do with it.. but i do notice that it has improved my shifts dramaticaly, and i mean i really dont care about how it sounds at startup, just something i noticed and wanted to ask.

Does anyone else have any good feedback to give on the chip?

jet chips suck

what do you recomend instead of a jet chip? why post only, "jet chips suck" and not have a backup company to argue a point with. Or should you just leave it stock?

[V8 Killer]

leave it stock or get a custom burned chip.

[brink]

its obviously better then stock.

I got a stage 2 jett module, it makes a little improvement over stock. I'd think that having the PCM reprogrammed or flashed you'd get more bang for buck.

The jet chip helped my car a little, maybe like 5 hp but not much else. Also i seem to be running rich with it on (thought this thing was supposed to lean it out) but in any case, i dont think it was worth the 200 spent on it.

camaroman, what do u still have it in your car?

[camaroman1181]

yeah, i still got it but i was thinking bout taking it out. I dont think its really doing much anymore cept maybe coating my exhaust in carbon... I'm gonna take it out and see if I lose anything or not, hell, it only takes 10 mins to install anyways...

i have a 98 camaro and they dont make a hypertech what kinda "chip" can i do to mine i really want this done do i have to take it somewhere or what

[GreenMachine]

Sinc you have the OBD2 computer, get something better than jet chip. If you have the $$$, get you computer reprogrammed.

Jet chip: waste of money
Hypertech: waste of money

Get a real tuner. DHP or HP Tuners. Anything else is a complete waste of both time and money.

I agree with Matt above, i had jet chip, had to use premium, and with these gas prices its rediculous already, so i took it out and sold it, and didnt notice it being any slower.

and HPTuners is the best way to go.

[brink]

premium gas is so much better for your engine though.. i'd use it and spend the extra 15/20 cents a gallon

Last time i filled up on premium I put 14.6 Gallons in for 30$ running at 2.05 a gallon

With low grade gas- 14.6 Gallons running at 1.85 a gallon would cost you 27$

Wow 3 more $'s fpr premium gas, give me a break.

I really don't want to start up the argument again, but premium gas is in fact a bigger waste of money than a Jet chip (unless you already wasted the money on the chip, then you've got to continue wasting more money for the gas).
