Re: chip

What are the types of tunes you would want for the car? These always sound cool...but usually aren't that practical.

The minor differences between tunes usually aren't worth switching back and forth. When I had my car tuned, I thought I wanted a "Race" tune and a "Gas mileage" tune. My tuner explained some of the differences to me and we came to the conclusion that they were so minor that I would probably never want to take the time to switch between tunes. He was right...I've never had the desire to take my car off the performance tune.

Also, you need to consider what your tuner will be using - if he's not familiar with something like this, then he won't be able to utilize it for you. Some tuners do Diablo, some SCT, and some direct to the ECU. So make sure you get something your tuner knows how to use.
