Chip/Programmer

I have a Superchip 1705 right now, but looking to upgrade. Would I really notice a difference if I went with a better chip/tuner/programmer or whatever you want to call it?

What's the best? I get some smoke with my superchip on performance, but would like more. What you guys recommend?

Would a Superchip on Performance (110hp/200tq) be the same as an Edge Evolutipn on level 3 (100hp/200tq)?

You will be much happier with a real chip. Tony Wildman gets my vote!

Are they better in power though? Would I really notice a difference? Would I get more smoke?

i definitely would love a switch/flip type chip.

I can tell you the Edge puts out more than enough smoke. I don't think you're gonna get a lot more power from one over any other.

Yes, you will. A truly custom tuned chip is leaps and bounds better than any off the off-the shelf junk. I didn't used to believe it either. Tony's extreme setting will smole plenty for you, too.

That's not what I've seen at the track. Edge, Banks, Superchips, etc all get consistently spanked compared to DP-Tuner and Wildman.
