Their all pretty much the same, but I'd go with SCT since their everywhere and their new chips are the bomb.

See i got a 2004 mach 1 and i just want to chip it cause i want the car looking stock and original. i barely race around, all i do is just give the hondas a little run to embarrass them haha.

Chips are compeltely worthless, not only have i never seen a dyno acutally proving that a mail order chip (non custom) acutaly works (other than in the new cobras) but they can acutally hurt performance.

I was making almost 20 RWHP less than what I should have been with full bolt ons and a mail order chip. The stock computer program was acutally doing a better job.

Yeah man, the ONLY chips worth getting are REBURNABLE Custom Chips.
Don't get one of those mail-order things...
And if you plan on running nitrous
Go with a Flip Chip

Dude, listen to these guys. Those pre-burnt chips don't do a god damn thing for your car, don't even consider wasting your money on one. Unless you get a dyno-tuned chip it's like taking your money and setting it on fire.

Take a look at the Venom 400. It fools the intake sensor and tells it that the air is cooler therefore increasing the amount of fuel being injected. you gas milage will s*#k. But u will notice a pwr increase.

how does one know if theyve got the new kinda SCT? i know mine is reburnable and was custom of course, but how to know if its the newer kind?
