chips and sneezes

Howdy all! I'm back after a two week holiday and almost 3000 trouble free Kms. Have'nt figured out my milage yet, but appears close to 10 mpg or so.
I was wondering if the performance chips eliminate the "sneeze" between shifts under hard acceleration or not?
You know that sound that someone said was the computer cutting out cylinders just before a shift.
Or do you need a chip and trans module?

The chip or tuner will get rid of the cut out. A tranny module will increase tranny life and also get rid of shift shudder when it occurs with higher HP applications.
