That's exactly what I've heard about them from everyone else and that's exactly why I don't have one.
I still am curious if there is a way to get a more "mild" tuned chip. I guess I would have to find someone who has a custom chip made for a stock motor with I/H/E mods. Maybe if someone already has a tuned chip I could get a copy from them...
Does this sound like something that is possible?
