jet chips

[that90spunk]

hey i wanted to know how well do these work? and what kind of HP gains can i see from using one. It says like 18-25HP...i just want to know if these will really help my 1/4 mile time and if there are noticeable gains. because its about 230 bucks for the chip and before i spend any money on one i want to know that im spending it wisely.

its only worth about 100-115 used. dont pay that much. i got mine for 110 shipped. youll take off about .1 maybe .2 depending on your mods/which chip youre buying (stage 1 or 2)

[that90spunk]

i want the stage two since i have some mods, and plan on a few more.
The only reason im planning on the jet chip is because HP doesnt make one for my year.

[dmw319]

expect about .1 or .2 at best. but still. dont pay more than about 120 at most.

ok yeah i cant find it anymore besides through my local carquest said they can order one.
but its like 230.00 which i think is too expensive for a few horse power.

I believe DHP Powrtuner works for your car, or you could install a 97 PCM and use HP Tuners.

it is too expensive. just keep your eye out in the for sale section. there is probably one every 2-3 months.

yeah i figured it was way too expensive....HOw much would a pcm for a 97 cost? and the HP tuner is like 400 bucks....but ill consider it if i can find a 97 pcm
