Is there any real point to getting a t/a? A chip can adjust timing, can't it?

Also, does anyone know if a superchips chip can store 2 programs? Nitrous and n/a? Or is that only the diablo?

The only real point to a T/A is to save money and self installation. A chip will allow you more options when it comes to timing and A/F ratios. With a chip you can make intermediate changes to timing and A/F as the RPM's go up. You can't do that with a bolt on T/A. I think Diablo has the only dual program chip.
