Oilpatch197 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I wanna put a performance chip in my car. I have a few choices, one is a Jet brand chip, it has two options, a "stage 1" Adds up to 23 h.p.; Designed to burn fuel at peak efficiency which result in improved performance and mileage; Provides exclusive full range DST programming; Each program is track and Dyno tested; Best use for stock or mildly modified vehicles. "stage 2". Add Up To 23 Horsepower Instantly, Features More Aggressive Programming To Make The Most Horsepower And Torque Available, Fuel And Timing Curves Are Extensively Modified For Peak Performance And Drivability, Use Of 91 Octane Fuel, 180 Degrees Thermostat And Free Flow Exhaust Are Required or a Superchip brand: SUPERCHIPS EPROM SINGLE PERFORMANCE CHIP -- A Direct Replacement For The Stock EPROM, Offers Great Increase In Power And Torque, Allows For Complete Drivetrain Tuning And Recording To Review On Your PC, Offers Advanced Tuning Selections From Rev Limits To Shift Quality And To Monitor Transmission And Engine Parameters, With Superchips' Limited 1-Year Warranty I want something I can just pop in and get more HP.(lol) That sounds silly, but was wondering what experience have you had with these chips? Is there another brand I need to look at? What are the scams I need to be aware with these performance chips?

Z34guy Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't think there is any aftermarket for the series 1 3800... I think it's all series 2. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong. I know there was a supercharger available on the series 1. Why no after market? Was it because of the short lifespan of the series 1 design?
