Question Tuner choice Swanson/PSP advice please

Can't make my mind up over here in England, I read alot about Danny Swanson and saw some impressive figures, but never hear much about him on this site. So I thought I'd go with the crowd here and pick PSP, but I can't get in touch by phone or E -mail. So do I wait for PSP to become available or do I buy Swanson now ? Any advice ?

Another question,
I have no service back up here in England, is there a program that can read the ECU on a 99 L, I've had it if a sensor goes down or the service light comes on ?

Want list :
4way chip
Bassani Cat back
Throttle Body
Maff
Filter kit

Thanks

The PSP has performed flawlessly for me. I doubt availability is a problem. If you want a 4-way chip PSP is the only one who has them.

Do not know anything good or bad about the Swanson.

You may want to try Johnny Lightning or JDM too.. I have heard nothing but good things about those 2.

Swanson can also do a 4- way chip. And his programs make a ton of power.

I've had good success with my Swanson chip. My truck is a 2000 model, and made 377 RWHP. I have never had any problem with detonation or pinging for the 14,000 miles that I have had the chip.

I use the Johnny Lightning Diablo chip and have had excellent gains. JL's customer service is excellent also. You can reach him at http://www.johnnylightningperf.com

I have a Swanson Chip in my 2000 L for a year now. I've had
no problems and when ever I added some new Mods to my L. Danny Swanson would reprogram my Chip! He has given me great service and advice.

I have the JDM setup in my L and have no problems. JDM does all product and support stuff on SVT performance.com.

I've had JL programed DiabloSport chip in just a short time, but WOW! I'm impressed.

Go with the PSP. We (Houston Area Lightning Owners) have tried every single chip out on the market and the PSP chip is a minimum 2ths quicker than any of them.

Sal is always very busy and you might have to wait a few weeks for the chip, but if you don't want to be in second place all the time, go with his. You will not be disappointed.

uhhhmmm....I know for a fact I have e-mailed you in the past, and earlier today as well with your latest questions.
Are you sure your recieving them??

As for the phone lines. Its tough to get through when so many others are trying to as well, I know how impatient us L owners could get...TRUST ME I KNOW

we have taken the needed steps to resolve this. I will have an additional phone line starting Monday.

ut please be aware that e-mails some time take time, and I have explained this numerous times here for all to view with nothing to hide. On average I do get 30-40 a day. And loosing a few days for a Family members funeral in Canada really set me back a bit further...but I had no cotrol over that. I would have much rather been at the NMRA event in MICHIGAN with old friends...and spankin' a few others with my Beast......

THank you

My choice is PSP only because I like McDonald's fries better than BK's. I'm sorry I didn't notify you earlier of that, BUT you can't go wrong with any of them.
