Its kind of like asking what's the difference between Ford and Chevy. :-) Can't really answer the question without more specific information such as the year, model and engine of your vehicle.

I have Jet chip in my V10 excursion now. What would the advantage be in switching to a Superchip or diablo. Also would I need a custom chip? I have the following modifications:

Airraid air intake
Borla headers
Borla catback
35" tires may go up to 37's soon
4.56 gears

The Jet chip, while it does modify the transmission, doesn't provide any performance tuning except at wide open throttle. Both the Diablo and Superchips tune at all throttle positions (except idle) and modify the tuning parameters every 400 RPM throughout the entire range.

So do you think I would need the custom chip with the modifications I have? If I do, is there a difference between the diablo and the superchip to justify the higher programming price of the superchip?
How do I go about ordering it here online?

Yeah, it would require custom programming. Is there anything to justify the higher cost? No. My guess is that Superchips simply doesn't want to handle custom code anymore so they are pricing themselves out of the market.
