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 !!

Sorry it didn't work out....... good that you're getting the refund though. It does seem to me the tune is a better solution. I'll be looking into a tune myself at some point.
