Anybody have experience with 'chips'?

Like the ones advertised on this blog?

They guarantee mileage and performance?

Lots of views and no responses!

I had the same kind of response to that question when I joined: my first thought, what could I do to easily improve it! .....and when you google XLR lots of thing come up including those chips!

Apparently, as I have been told, Cadillac did a great job when they tweaked these cars to what they are.

My son (who has lots of experience in new cars) suggested I should take my XLR to a tuner guy: apparently if we overide the factory shift points and immediate throttle lag responses (aka: that fine line between gas mileage requirements and performance) it will be like a new car!

Is a Tuner guy somewhat the same as what a Chip does? Please chime in 'experienced' forum members if I am being blonde here! (yes, I bow to your knowledge and experience!)

Thanks "Toad"

Anyone else have any experience, as the MFG of these chips, advertise on this blog!

My understanding is you do not "chip" these cars, the computer needs to be re-programmed. D3 is a vendor and one of the best known for our cars.
