    Don't have anything to add except for the two reviews read exactly the same... They both read like the product description. It's clear that those two reviews were written by the company. Doesn't leave me with too much confidence.

    N/A chips are rarely worth the money. Its only worth it when you have a turbo engine.

    You'll be far better with the BullyDog OBDII tuner.

    Yes, I have and it was a rather sad experience.
    On a side note Unichips has done away with there rental tuner kits. Now they just have the software you can purchase it tune your unichips with for I think it was $290. I'm still throwing around the idea of attempting this. But if I did it would put me in the price range for the new Bully Dog tuner. Soooo....we shall see but I'm thinking of just saying F*&K it and throwing on long tubes,vibrant res,2.85 pulley and just letting her eat!

    looking at the 2013 bullydogs, all they have is for the supercharger. does that make a difference? and plus it's about $900.... pretty steep.
    I put a K&N cold air intake and the TRD exhaust and was looking at a programer since i think i'm burning too rich

    I'm new to a lot of this, but a quick learner ;)
    What's to be careful about?

    also what about the sprint booster from URD?

    Rich is safe
    Lean isn't

    Not something u wanna just cross ur fingers on.


    Sprint booster..... Is that the thing that amplifies the throttle signal?

    If so, I dont see a need for it... Ya rlly need a break from actually pushing the pedal further?

    Sounds like a great idea for accidental rear ends, comical parking lot maneuvers, and rediculous merging.
