How & why would you stack a chip on an already programmed performance tune for use withouta chip?

I thought this was a gambling question..

I just won this huge pot.. I need to stack my chips... I'll use my Mustang!

edit: alright.. 1st.. if you find anyone making a chip for an 05+ mustang let me know.. would be amusing to see what benefits they claim. 2nd.. no.. they have a very nice ECU or PCM or whatever its called already.. adding to it shouldn't help with anything. I believe it was steeda that came out with some gimmicky re-flash of the ECU that would allow it to adapt and change the tune for any mods you added to the car.. but a dyno tune or even a bama/brenspeed tune sounds better...

i dont know much nor do i have a tune. but i think a chip would conflict with a tune. on a side note i had a jet performance chip in my 87gt and didnt notice a damn thing except there was 250 less in my bank account

our cars dont use "chips" they use a newer technology of a programmable "PCM" with a Spanish Oak processor. your idea is a non-starter.... sorry dude

"chips" are useless on our cars because we can reprogram the PCM.

Chip stacking was a nice option in
the old days but no more with the S197s.

I think he must have owned a diesel truck. We do that with diesel trucks to get the benifits of two different companys programming. And they call them "chips" on diesels and they are on board programmers similar to what we use. So that was not really a dumb question. As he said he's still learning.
