Cheap TS Performance chips

I found these chips really cheap and was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this company.

TS Performance 6 Position Chip

They are marketing these as TS Performance chips, but the price is only 259.00 with all six tunes.

This seems way to cheap as I was trying to bid on a used one on ebay last night and it went for 276.00. And, all others I see go for around 400.00.

If anyone has used these chips I would appreciate some input.
Thanks in advance.

Don't confuse TS and TW. TW and many other tuners use the TS chips but with their own tunes on them, hence the difference in price.

Ok I understand that the any tunes can be put on these chips, but I didn't see where it said it was anything other than a TS tune. I'm so confused.

Those are TS chips with TS tunes on them. TS tunes are okay, but tunes from someone like Tony Wildman (TW), Bean's, Swamps, etc. can be burned onto that chip for better performance.

You have to ask yourself why they are so cheap...??

The TS tunes are OK, but you can do much better from the custom tuners like TW, PHP, DP-T, etc.

I know what volume pricing they can get those chips for and they are barely making a buck at that cost.
Wholesale, that's what I pay for them, but I got a little price break buying right from PHP.

Could I get a link with the ts chip with the php tunes on it. That's kinda what I was thinking. I could get the ts chip for my stock truck and when I did the mods I want to do I could get it re-burned.

I would rather have the php tunes. Thanks in advance.

Just FYI, you can go ahead and buy a chip burned for Stage I's and run it on your stock injectors. All of the lower hp tunes are the same, you just won't benefit from the 100hp and 140hp tunes as much as you would.

That way you don't have to reburn later on.

It hasn't worked out like I had hoped.
Re-burn will depend on what tunes you want.

OK...a lot of info here and I'm still a little confused. I was looking at the price point at this time. The price of the ts that I originally posted is within my budget. What is comparable to that price that I could get that is better? Thanks for all the help.
