  • What kind of HP gain could I expect on my stock car with the chip?
  • Are chips considered bad, or a poor alternative to buying a tuner?
  • If I bought one of the tuners I see on AM.com ($350 range)...what kind of HP gain could I expect with that?
  • If I'm understanding the purposes of chips/tuners correctly..being that they allow you to adjust gears/shifts, remove factory limiter, etc (hopefully I have that right)...what other things can a tuner/chip do for me?
Sorry for all the questions, I've done the research, but didnt' see a resource that really outlined all this for me.....

Thanks!!

the gains will be the same wheather a tuner or a chip. the advantage with a tuner is you can pull codes and adjust things with ease. lower the timing if you think you got bad gas or something along those lines.

An xcal2-3 is a solid investment.
