$1000

Bri, "No" I have no experience with that chip. However, chips are becomming more and more versatile. Hyper Tech, Super Chips, and Diablo all have programmers that you can plug in and in as little as 3 minutes you can re-program your car. This allows you to make as many changes as you like.

Don't like your rev limiter, "Bam" you can change it. Your daughter is going to be driving your car "Bam" you can put a speed limiter on it. The chip companies are now getting to the point where you can go to a web site and download custom programing data for you based on inputed data that you get from a dyno.

These things are really cool. They also cost around $400 (I have no idea what the Hyper Tech costs though), which is more than a standard chip.

When I put in my $225 Diablo, it was a real pain in the rear. The ECU sucks to get at and it is very time consuming to clean the terminals. There were moments that I regretted that I did not buy the $360 programable one.

While I am far from a chip expert, it seems that these chips (programable) are ideal for the guy who has a light to a moderately modified car and is planning on more changes. Whenever I read about a fire breathing racer, they seem to use other brands.

Anyway, hope someone can respond about the Hyper Chip. I am curious about that one.
