"Chip and Shift Kit combo?"


          

There seems to be at least one person on this board who has both a superchip and shift kit. I am interested in both, but wondering about simultaneous use. Do they conflict with eachother? Does the addition on either improver over the other?
I know that the chip both adjusts the engine (supposedly) and transmission. The shift kit also adjusts the transmission. Both work electronically. What does the chip do the the tranny that the shift kit doesn't? If you are concerned only with faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (not mpg, rev and speed limiter), which is the more cost effective improvement?

Check below for info on the chip. Ask "Fuz" about the Shift kit. He's had both. If you get both, you must let the "chip maker" know so they can remove it from the chip.
