I don't know much about it but, I have not seen many Maximas with them, so I guess this is a hint to STAY AWAY!

I've had experience w/the Jet V-Force. Search for my opinions and my brother's (it's in his daily driver, tho swappable into our 3rd, 4th, and 5th gens).

No it's not worth the money. JWT and Technosquare (G-Force/UPRD) are better.

Is the jet computer chip worth the money? dont know, with so many members on maxima.org you would think, a small group of maxima owners would have the jet ecu, but unless i miss the post, you just dont see anything about them.

Is there a better chip out there for the money? JWT/TS


You could do a dyno run, then plug in the jet and do another dyno run, so we can see what this thing is all about.

Definately get it. I have heard it gives 13 MORE hp at the ricer wheels than the JWT or TS ecus combined.

I heard that every 1 in 10 chips comes with an extreme upgrade bonus, 100FWHP.

Combine the Jet chip with the Tornado for the ultimate performance solution...Or do a little research on the forums, whatever floats your boat.

Bad idea. You do not want to do that.

I also heard soap and gas burns forever.
