Disconnect the battery cable, unlock and disconnect the lower cables leading into the ECU which is located up front on the passengers side, plug in the Jet module making sure it snaps all the way in, plug the original cables into the Jet unit making sure they lock in, reconnect the battery cable, and away you go.
While I would question the claim of an additional 20 plus horsepower, I will say that the car does run much better, the throtle response is as it should have been from the factory, quick and responsive and lets off faster when getting off the throttle. Overall the car just runs better.
Does it feel like there's additional horsepower? I would prefer to say that the car just more responsive to subtle inputs and that I find myself pressing the throttle down less while gaining better response. The pony just feels like it wants to run and have fun all day !!
Was it worth the money? Without question. Note that you should run 91 octane gas to yield the best response. I had filled(slowly and painfully as my new tank is not in yet) the tank the day before I recieved the Jet unit with Chevron 91 Octane gas, anticipating the instalation the next day.
For those not wanting or needing the flexibility of tuning in factors like tire size, new rear end gear ratios or upping the rev limiter, the Jet unit provides a simple and cost effective way to get the most out of your new pony.

Dean Gamburd said:Very unscientific as it has been hot enough to run the air conditioner most days out here and I have been doing a lot of freeway runs too. That said the last check I am getting a couple of miles per gallon more then without the chip. My numbers before the chip were a low of 10 miles per gallon to an average of 12 miles per gallon. With the chip I am getting 14 around town and about 17 on the highway, all this throttle dependent of course
I meant custom tune, not tuning device. But none the less, even then your points will remain. However, I don't know these computers, but let's say your engine blows while you have your jet chip in it. You take the chip out, and bring it to the dealer. Doesn't the computer show what was going on, and could that show that a different tune was running?Redfire 05 said:
