I agree. I like my 3+ a lot. And when it comes to chipping your car you
really gotta go with a known source that you have confidence in. These
engines are expensive and if you put in a bad chip you are just asking for
trouble. Why risk going with somebody that hasn't been around or proven they
can tune without grenading. Plenty of guys with a little knowledge can crank
up the HP. Doing it without sacrificing reliability/drivability/engine
longevity is a whole other ball game. Ned's chip won't hurt your engine. And
Ned is a great guy that has always answered my numerous questions
graciously.
