Unichip? Worth the money?

Is a unichip really worth the money? Im thinking about getting one and just want to know how much i should spend on one or if its just not worth the money.

I disagree, I have a unichip and it's great, My car pulls hard all the way to redline, the power doesn't drop off any more. I raised my traps like 2-3 mph with it.

With that said i believe it's worth getting a unichip if you can pick one up used thats already tuned for your parts ( i bought mine for $500 and it was already tuned for intake, test pipes, headers, and exhaust) It did exactly what i needed it to do. If your gonna buy one new for +$700 your better off getting a Utec but with that you'll also need a custom tune.

I've been meaning to get it dyno'd to get my a/f ratio but i'm sure it's good, i bet with a custom tune on it i could probably make more power.


If you can pick one up for cheap, and won't need to retune it, then it's worth it.

Alright you racist ass. I was giving you perfect advice. Most of the knowledgeable people on these forums don't want to come into a dumb thread like this anyway after they see the title. If they did and answered they would agree with me or say the same thing if your NA 4.083 gears are the way to go. GTFO of here with your 4 posts and racism.

1. You have no sense of humor
2. Your sarcasm sucks
3. You suck at grammar and spelling so there is no way you are Asian.

ROFL!

And yes, the Unichip is a pile of garbage, and a marketing gimic. And this is coming from an authorized Unichip tuner. If it's included in a kit, then fine, but I would never consider purchasing one seperately.

Coming straight from one of the most, if not the most reputable tuner on these forums.
