I can recommend the Diablo Predator tuner. Not really sure what the difference is between a "chip" and a "tune", but the Diablo tune works really well.

I like my Xcal-3 with custom tunes....troyer can do it but you might have to wait a while to get them.

VMP tuning has become quite popular lately:

I think a chip is plugged into the confuser permanent and a tuner you plug into the port and you can reprogram the confuser. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
