2 - SCT (Superchips Custom Tuning): Also reputable. This is similar to above but is completely custom. The tune will be setup just for your mods. You can not make any changes on your own. The programmer can be sent back to the dealer to have changes made as the car is modified more (ie add a turbo or cams). You can store upto four tunes on it including the stock tune. Ideal for someone who wants an 87 octane program, a 93 octane program, and a nitrous program just as an example. You can also receive tune changes via email.

Superchips and SCT are one and the same thing.

Depending on who you purchase it from.......you can get a mail order chip based on what your mods are.(dont have to be stock or lightly modded) They set up the tune on the chip according to what your exact mods are. It has 4 settings, each setting after the first is additional money. It CAN be tuned for performance mods....that is what it is for. It just wont be dyno tuned.

You can also get a chip and have it dyno tuned by anyone with SCT software. This is the best option but also a lot more expensive due to the dyno runs. But this way you can customize your a/f ratio.
