  • Hypertech VS. Jet Chip

    Hey guys,

    I have a 2001 Camaro. I already have reprogrammed the computer with the Hypertech Power Programmer, and I was just wondering if there was any benefit from getting a jet chip or other speed chip. Or do they both do the same thing? Are they compatable with each other(ie can I use them both at the same time)?

    Throw out the HPP and get a real tuner. ;)

    A chip would be a total waste of money, but a tuner would get you more.

      What he said, Jet chip is terrible IMO. Money would be better spent on a tuner.

        Jet Chip = worthless
        Don't waste your money on one. I would do what these other guys have advised and get HP Tuners. It is more money, but it is worth it.

          ive got the hypertech. its really helpful because im not really ready to go headfirst into HPtuners, plus i got it used, which ended up being less than half the price of hptuners. I will eventually move up to HPTuners, but the hypertech is great for what it is and its ease of use. The gains are very noticable down low, but up high, you dont feel much, probably cause our cars dont pull very hard up top in the first place. Automatics benefit more from a hypertech than manuals, my shifts are at 100% firmness and when i floor it, each shift is like 'BAM' sooo much better than stock shifts [img]smile.gif[/img] i think its worth it, since you can also adjust for gear changes, ect...

            Yeah I def. like my hypertech but eventually I would like to get an HP Tuner as well... So i guess the general concensus is that a speed chip isn't worth it.
