I have the torque chip 2 installed on my car for almost a year, and I am very happy with it! A very nice gain from 3500rpm & up. Here is the site where I purchased this piggy-back chip:

How about some more info on the Torque Chip? Like price, performance, reliability, ease of install. It sounds good, but their web site dosen't tell a lot.

Performance:
Stronger pull from 3500 and up!

Reliability:
One year on my car and still working great! Had a CEL in last winter after I installed the TC 2 for about a month. But later I found out that it was b/c of the bad spark plug wires. Dunno if the chip will make the spark plug wires wear faster or not.

Installation:
Read this first!

I installed the chip by myself and a friend. After I had read the above link more than 10 times, and it still took me 3 hrs for the installation. It was my first time to do something like this, and so I spent most of the times on locating the wires from the ECU. *Note: Do not do this at night! If you can find some shop do this for you, then you better pass it to them.

Running Temp??

I've heard people say their Suby ran quite a bit hotter than it ran stock after installing chips. Is your temp guage still reading the same at normal running temp as it was stock? If you can't tell just by looking at the guage then it's probably not that different at all. I don't want to hurt my car just to get a couple horsepower....
