performance chips, which one to buy?

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with the G-Box from Next Level performance, or the Della Pro X Module. If you have a chip in your car and are impressed with it please let me know which kind.

thanks

there are no "chips" for nissans. The only upgrade would be the JWT ECU which is supposed to be out soon..

Thanks for the response, Very nice looking Maxima. If you go to www.ebaymotors.com, then to car parts, then type in maxima module you will get chips/modules for the g box and the delta prox module. i think they are piggy back chips.
thanks

chips

was up
i can see from your screen name that u only got an intake on your car...
anyways... about the chips on ebay >>DONT BUY THEM>>
there is no horsepower increase...all they do is make your RPM go higher and you waist alot more gas...and personally i wouldnt buy anything from EBAY cause if there is something wrong with it .. its really hard to return it...
DONT BUY THE CHIP..

Jet chip makes an ecu upgrade for the maxima. I wouldn't recommend it though because of some of the problems some people have with them.

standalone ECU upgrades typically do two things:

Alter ignition timing maps and max rev

Change the pre-programmed fuel maps

You can accomplish either with devices such as the Greddy E-manage and it's associated modules
