Computer Chips

I recently installed Gibson exhaust and Airraid intake, and I was wondering what is the best computer chip for the 4.2 V6 engine. Detailed information and links will be very helpful. I am looking at a diablo computer chip but I do not know which one I should choose.

Thanks for your help,
newbie nick

The Daiblo chip adds up to 19 horsepower and it is on sale, and not for a bad price either. Only bad thing about a chip: it requires the use of premium fuel. You can get it programed, at cost, for regular. But with regular gas, the gains aren't really worth the money, if I am right. Higher Octane gas burns slower and cleaner. Not heard much about the superchip, So I have no info there for you.

Go there and check out the details of the chip. Everything you need to know is there.

My experience with a Diablo has been wonderful. I love the chip very much! I'd cry if it broke literally. For $200, you can't pass it up. The main increase to me is the torque curve. It is much more distinct.
