I had a tuner and there is no comparison to the chip, it's amazing! Huge amount of power while keeping egt's in check. You won't regret the chip! Give him a call, he will answer any questions. Super nice guy!

Jody's chip. I'll second that! Oh, wait. Someone lready did...
I, too, switched from a tuner - it ran good in the "60hp tow" mode. But the "80hp race" and "100hp extreme" modes had very VERY touchy throttle off idle, then didn't deliver all that much when pushed - except rapidly climbing EGT and lots (I mean LOTS) of black smoke.
Jody's chip gives nice linear throttle response - press a little, go a little, press a lot, go a LOT. Even on the 120hp mode, it is very controllable. Plus, the 40hp 'tow' position feels like it makes more mid-range torque than the two higher levels on the tuner did - of course, that may just be because of the non-linear throttle response with the tuner in those settings - press a little, go a lot, press a lot, go a little more. Oh, and the 120hp mode? Better be pointed in a safe direction.
Anyway, no comparison. Don't do what so many here have done and waste money on a tuner that costs just about as much and delivers so much less.
Oh, yeah - Jody can also custom tune your automatic tranny (if you have one). Best to have a BTS valve body (I have a Factory Tech - it, too, works quite well) or a Sonnax kit to improve your shifting. But your chip can be set up to lock the TC and KEEP it locked above a certain speed, and to adjust your shift points.
