Do not chip your car.

Go with a handheld tuner; most use SCT or Diablo.

Chips are for eating, contact Bamachips or Brenspeed and get a cai/tune!

Use the search feature and check the forum member's sigs. We reprogram our PCM's with new tunes via the tuner. Go to the Brenspeed and Bamachips websites.

Hand held tuners are the way to go, plus you can have different tunes that are tailored to your liking.

Diablosport Predator U7140 is the only way to go. You can set different parameters and add custom tunes as you add mods.

Increase Rev and Speed limiter is nice.

diablo is a good hand held but you dont have too many choices of tuners when it comes to email tune.sct will be your best bet if your gonna be doing email tunes.

Bamachips, Brenspeed or VMP for the tunes. No others.

The model # depends on the model and year of the S197...
So the U7140 is not the only Predator model # avilable for the S197...

If you plan on ever getting a local Dyno tune performed,
get the tuner he supports and can work with...
