Performance chip

POSrangerlover · 03-05-2008, 09:53 AM

For a few months now I have been interested in getting a performance chip through James Duff. They usually run about 300 bucks. Rescently I was looking online and I found some on Ebay for around 30 bucks. Some of the names were Pro Choice ans Jex. Both had the same advertisements as the JD chips. I tried to look online to see if I could find any background on these companies. You know if I can get the same results for one tenth the cost im all for it. Let me know if these are worth buying or whether I should just get the JD one. Thanks for all your help in advance.

i would guess more than likely not. most of the chips on ebay are junk and dont do anything. i would go with jet or another type power programmer for the same money it gives you more settings

Most likeley it is just a resistor that tells your motor to dump in more fuel by making it think it needs to run in 'Rich' mode...

Won't help you at all sorry man

**Muddycowboy** · 03-05-2008, 09:54 PM
