Which of the custom chips provides the greatest gain in performance? Or should i have the car dyno tuned and a custom chip burned by one of the performace shops? Thanks for any feed back still new at this computer stuff.

Depending on your modifications a dyno tune will almost always have a greater benefit than a mail order chip. If you just have a couple bolt ons I wouldn't spend the money on it yet but if you want a tune I'd hit the dyno.

only way to go is a ECU re-flash, I got mine flashed my T&J performance. or the other option is like you said, a custon dyno tune.

problem with mail order chips is alot of them are hit or miss, I have seen cars lose power and have to keep resending them before they see any gains.

Agreed - Superchips SCT or Diablo are popular, performance proven chips. Can't go wrong with either one.
