Jet Chip

I was wondering if anyone has this chip or can recomend a better one, And I also had a question. How hard is it to install a computer chip in my '92 RS 3.1L

It is extremely easy to install. Now I own a Fastchip 2, but alot of people say it is better to burn your own. They say that the chips (Jet, Fastchip, ADS, etc) dont do anything for our cars. I do disagree though, cause I use to have a small dead spot around 35, and now I dont. I use to run 220 city, now I dont even get above 200, So I think a chip was well worth it!

For what it costs to buy a chip, you can get the stuff to burn your own (or so I've heard) an fool around with it till you get what you want. I have the Jet Chip, and one guy told me all it does is advance the timing 3 degrees at WOT and lower my fan turn on temperature. I couldn't really tell too much of a difference, so...i dunno. I don't think it was worth the 200 I spent on it. Shoulda added a little more an got a cam.

So is the fast chip really good? Jet chips says a 15-17HP gain. But if anyone has bought a chip and has noticed a difference after the install. Please let me know because i will buy one as soon as i have found a good chip

160 bucks?! Yes, you probably CAN get eprom burning equipment for that price and come out with a far superior chip.
