JDM,JL chip users please answer
Ive seen alot about chips and I am a bit confused.I thought these two chips were the same but I guess not.I am wondering what kind of differences are their in these chips?
I know they both produce plenty of power but,How do the shifting characteistics change and are they both a streetable as each other? Im not worried about power,ive heard enough good things but how about driving characteristics. Dont even try the search comment

High Roller was right. This chip is strong on
the big end. The shifts seemed softer that the R9 program but after driving a day they are starting to feel firmer. It has excellent
manners in daily driving but mash the gas and
watch out. The most noticable difference is from 80 to 100 (hadn't went any faster yet). The R9 seemed to fall off in this area but not the JDM. It feels like it's pulling
harder than ever up in this area. The more I drive it the faster it seems to get. I've put
50 miles on the L so far with the JDM
program.

Both of these chips are very quality chip from shifting to making lots of power!
I think to many of you are making to much out of this comparing the two!You WILL be very happy with either chip you choose.

Got the JDM chip in my truck last night,and I think that what LTNBOLT said was right on the money.
I got the 2 program chip, street/race and I went straight to the race program and checked it out first. The reason why is because I have been running around with a PSP race chip in there since mid december and aready had a 50/50 mix of 92/100 octane in the tank.
Also have to agree with HIGH ROLLER, the JDM chip has BIG top end. I have run 2 different PSP chips, a Swanson/Pro-m setup, an Inject-Tech and an ACP Engineering chip set up for a Pro-m. (ACP Eng. are the peaple that bought the lightning chip buisness from Inject-Tech)and the JDM chip is staying in the truck. Its a Keeper!!!.
One more thing, the JDM chip is set up to run the stock MAF.
I have not run a JL chip so I can't comment.

Bad as L,
I see TWELVES for you this coming race season!The two things i like about this chip besides the big top end are you can run it on 93 pump gas and you do NOT need a pro-m meter because of the horsepower this chip makes!I am faster and running safer with this program with stock mass-air than i was with the pro-m installed and the R9 calibrated for pro-m by 2 tenths!
