Painless Performance

Does anyone have an opinion on the Painless Performance Stryker 1 module? I know everyone is all about the DP-tuner but I am curious of this chip.

Thanks

Ben

It might be a decent tuner, but IMHO it won't be as good as a Custom Chip. Now, I've heard alot about the DP tuner here, although I've never owned one. I personally use a Custom DI Performance 6-Pos chip. It offers a few advantages that the Painless chip won't. You have the advantage of being able to communicate with the builder for any custom options that you would like burned into your chip such as an Antitheft position, High idle,Tow, Race, etc. But also with the Custom Tuners you have the ablitliy to make changes/Reburns, for the mods that we continue to add such as Tranny rebuilds/Valve body, Fuel, Injectors, Turbos etc. Having the ability to do this, means never having to buy another chip. And the biggest advantage of all is having the ablility to contact the makeravid/DI Performance,or Jody/DP Tuners to diagnose any problems you might have at any given time. This is something you will never get with anyother retailer Painless, Edge, Banks, BullyDog, Superchips, Hypertech, Jet, Granatelli, TS, Van Aken, and well you get the idea. Did I miss anyone? Good Luck with your choice. Take Care now. Country

I have a friend that wouldn't listen and he bought a Predator tuner.

Then he took a ride in my truck.

Now he is sad.

Go with a DP or a DI.
