Jet does an ECU upgrade.. full ECU upgrade.. cost is $399 .. however your fuel and ignition is advanced and this is a bad idea if you run NOS/SC/Turbo.. as the car will detonate.. but if you plan to stay NA.. they are offering you 15 fwhp

You can switch the '97 for a '96 ECU and JWT can do the upgrade for you that will allow you to run NOS. Cattman performance offers a complete setup for a programmed ECU and NOS kit. Check them out.

The Racers Group offers the UNICHIP. It may be cost prohibitive compared with JWT/UPRD 95-96 chip.

JET is the biggest load of crap i've ever seen.
DO NOT purchase their chips. they dont do JACK.

Gforce used to do JET upgrades but stopped because the realized their products did nothing...

Gforce (formerly the UPRD chip) is still imho, one of the best out there. i dont care who says crap about it.. because all the peeps that talk smack dont even HAVE one... and all of those guys who DO swear by it..

whatevers. im no longer interested in debating for ECU companies anymore.. because all i get out of it is a headache from people who dont know anything.
