Decent price efficient chip

So I am looking at dropping 350-400 on my 01 3500 on a chip.

I already have 4" exhaust and a K&N filter.

I was looking at the Superchip, but was looking to get your guys opinions.

I was a chip that I can run on economy mode to pick up a couple miles to the gallon, or swap to pick up x hp / x tq....

Thanks

I started out with the Superchips and it added a little extra snot to my truck. I really liked it for the price because I spent 300 on it and it did what I wanted. It made it have more throtle response and it gave me about 1-1.5 MPG better on a tank.

I'm sure most guys are going to say spend a couple hundred more on an Edge, Adrenaline, or Smarty.

Is there a reason to stay away from a used chip? I see many used chip's like the smarty, adrenaline, etc just over my limit, but could very easily pick one up for the little difference....Just wondering if a used chip is a bad idea..

I have bought a couple of them before and didn't have any problems but there is always a chance of a something wrong and if you don't have a receipt or its out of date then you're screwed.

I am going to be selling my Superchips if you are interested and its only 2 months old and I still have the receipt.
I appreciate it, but I think I will look around first for a used chip and see if I can find one close to my price range...What would you want for your chip?

I would look at picking up a used Edge Juice w/ Attitude. They can be had for $400 bucks.

I would feel safe buying used from the guys on this site. If it was someone new with zero posts you may want to be cautious. But for the most part everyone here has to be held to their word or else the "S" would hit the fan for them.
It's fairly easy to get a feel for an individual here. I have bought from a few myself with great luck.
Just keep your eyes open, you'll find what you're looking for.

Is something like that a switch on the fly with multiple settings? If you see one for that price, definately hit me up!
