Default performance chip

I have been looking into getting a performance chip for my tC ever since i saw how much power my friends stratus R/T put out with his. Right now my only mods are an AEM Cold Air Intake and a Skunk2 Cat-back Exhaust. I was wondering if anyone had any info about the Surge Engineering Stage 3 02 chip combo? any sort of reply would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The ECU will pretty much make sure that you waste your money. It will correct it to the point of nullifying the chip.

The only electronic tuning we can do will need to come from an e-manage, or equivalent.

However you wont get much power with basic mods.

And don't call it an "AFC", because you'll get SL members with sticks up their **** who will rush in to try to wag their e-*********.
