ATS chip?

Anyone run one of the ATS E-Power chips? It's a 6 position chip, looks kinda like the TS style.

Just curious if anyone has used one and what they think of it...

I haven't run one but I hear nothing but bad things about ATS except from cowboy steve and I would guess that there chips aren't much better

I live here nearby the ATS factory and store and Ive been in there and most of there stuff seems REALLY overpriced for what you get. There injectors for example 100HP (stage 3/4 I guess) cost about as much as new stage 3 hybrids from most places. They tried telling me there stuff is better because they customize the tuning for you. Ok we all know about custum tuning right. But somebody please explain to me how you tune head studs, or flywheels or billet shafts. Especially when they admittedly buy the injectors from someone else and mark them up and sell them for more, plus charge you a core charge of around $400 ea. There is very little if anything Ill ever buy from ATS.

Good to know... I think I'm going with either DP Tuner or PHP when I get one.

I can get a clutch done at ATS for my truck, on the cheap (free)

I pulled the ATS Hazmax truck(the one you see in the magazines) when it lost fuel pressure about 3 weeks ago at the track. They were trying to rachet strap it up the trailer that was hooked to the ATS motorhome.

So I offereed to use my truck to pull the truck up, and I did... then Clint the owner said that when I need a clutch to come down and he will do one for me... I might try and see if I cant get an intercooler instead...

But I agree with Oversize, they are Over priced, on everything.

My personal preference is a DP Tuner. Jody just updated my tunes for my new injectors and turbo and it was flawless. I am more than happy with their customer service and tuning.
