I was running the stage II chip.

I have run premium in it since the day I got it.

They have to start from 3,000 RPM since the trans kicks down out of
3rd gear on the dyno when you do full throttle any lower than
3,000 RPM.

Raw numbers no adjustments. As far as low numbers for Jet the 2 pulls
were done in identical conditions about 5 minutes apart so the jet
chip still had lower HP numbers even though I did the first pulls with
the Jet chip on a cooler engine. The guys at the dyno said my first
pull numbers should of been higher since the engine was cooler.

No real change.

No, and Yes I am sending it back. I will be calling Jet this morning
to find out what the deal with this chip is. I may be willing to try
a replacement chip if they say this one is faulty. I will be asking to
see their dyno printout on the chip since they told me in an E-Mail
that I should expect to see a 20-22 HP increase not a HP loss.

Was this on a dyno or G-tec? If so maybe I do have a bad chip. I can
tell you one thing I have for sure right now is a bad attitude. This
is beginning to feel like my $700 ignition fiasco. I'll post to the
list what Jet chip has to say after I contact them this morning.
