Pablo is dead on. A Custom chip is not a custom chip unless they work with YOUR car to get the calibration correct. This means using instruments to determine if YOUR engine is running rich or lean as well as determining the best spark curve for your car as well as many other variables. Basically, over the phone programming just allows the guys burning your chip to make a guess. Are you satisfied with a guess?
