Thinking about getting a Jet Performance chip, what do you guys think? Stage 1, will it give me anything for the money? Do you suggest something else for about the same money. Thanks!! Running 295/75/16 with the 4800 Vortec with a K&N on a 1500 Silverado. :ughdance::ughdance:

If I was considering a Plug In Chip like that then I would buy a Westers, Nelson or PCMforLess replacement PCM. Most bang for the buck. Jet is better than stock, but BARELY noticeable.

Rocco, just go and read the thread not far from here about the Westers group purchase. Dig around the board. Lots of info on this stuff. In the meantime, go here:

 

http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...topic=35860&hl=

 

Also, a GOOGLE search and using the SEARCH engine will find all kinds of stuff for WESTERS. In the meantime, the previous message's URL is indeed valid. Might be getting hammered on pretty hard during the Christmas holidays:

My buddy put one (Jet Per. stage 1) on his 2K-ZR2 Blazer, and to be honest, I dont think it did enough to warrant the 200$ (if I remember right) he spent on it. The intake and exaust were a much more noticable gain and money better spent IMO. Now the module is actually starting to give him starting problems (we think its the module anyway).

I have had a Jet Stage II in my 1995 truck for 9 years. Now, this is pre-Vortec, so it truly is a "chip" that is inserted into the computer under the dash. Back then it was $95. I had a Hypertech chip in at first, and saw no difference. The Jet chip did make some difference.

 

It raises the shift points, so you get higher in the RPM band before shifting, and it feels like more power (actually is), but the power is from the higher RPM, not the chip. It says it changes the advance, timing, and other things, but I don't know. I took it out for a week, and the only thing I noticed was earlier shifts. Same emissions test results with it in and out. The Stage II requires lower thermostat and high flow exhaust (which I have).

 

Since you have a more modern truck, I would certainly look at Westers. I have no experience with them, but from reading here, it seems to be favorable over just a generic chip.

I bought an 89/87 octane tune PCMforLess PCM for $250. and it works great, definately noticable with the shifting. Right now it is getting updated to have the Torque Management completely removed. I had it customized with the tow/haul button off, "Performance mode". Tow/haul button on brings back the drivetrain safety features, Torque Management and transmission line pressure almost back to stock levels. Bryan knows what he is talking about and can answer your questions. BTW PCMforLess is a site sponsor. Look for it on the left side.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
