What are the pros and cons of using an SCT chip to tune a car as opposed to a PMS? Obviously, the PMS is more precise, but it is also more expensive. My car is just a basic H/C/I. Is using a PMS tuner going to give me that much of an advantage over just getting a chip? My tax refund will be on its way, and I wanna get my car running at its highest potential.
Thanks.

PMS you tune yourself. If you think you can do it go for it. If you'd rather have someone else tune it and be done with it SCT chip. I don't know of any downsides.
