superchip or hypertech?

hey, i am not sure on which chip will be better, i ordered a superchip and paid a little over 200 dollars for it. i installed it yesterday and i like it, but im not to crazy about it. Do you guys think i would see better results from a hypertech? theres a 30 day money back gaurantee, I can send it back and get my money back and get a hypertech. What should i do?

It is the only way to go, no if, ands or buts. I wasted my money on a hypertech chip and was very dissapointed in the $140 pos. You won't need a chip until you start modding the engine/ exhaust (w/ headers). THEN get a custom chip burned using Winaldl data.

Well, first thing first-you will need winaldl. To use the program, all you need to do is download it for free, barrow a labtop (with a good battery in it) and spend about $8 to make yourself a cable. You can find this all on Joby's site.
Then send the data to http://www.tbichips.com It is $30 for the first chip and $10 for changes/mods after that. Brian is really helpful and a good guy, you are way better off going through him then through ed wright or fastchips imo.

Why dont you spend some money on tuning hardware, download the software and start doing it yourself?
