I never ran one of these but I would think you want the high grade, especially if it says anything about changing the timing advance.......
Won't the GM computer try to adjust everything around the chip and try to get it back to stock settings?

think the chip tricks the gm computer, that what a piggie back does on a porsche,had on a few years ago which worked fine . i did however change it to a giac flash which allowed me to run a race program with 100 oct fuel , way faster !!

the **** chip well i contacted doug at auto accessories gararge on the net. he was very understanding and said they would handle the refund ans as a side note said the jet co had sold a while back and that their product had gone down hill , which i can attest too... what a wild ride well it was down hill and then some.. if you use em be careful!!!!
