Default How many times you get asked if you gotta Chip?

So how often do you guys get asked if you have a chip in your truck?? I'm sick and tired of tryin to explain to people that I tuned it myself with EFI Live on a dyno..But they still insist that i get a chip, or that i should get a Predator or a Hypertech and that it will run alot faster..thats usually when I bust up laughin right in their face and say their stupid and walk off..

If you just say yes then you won't have to explain.....

If someone is un-knowledgeable enough to think you can chip these trucks, the rest of what you have to say is going to be wasted on them....

Wow it's funny this post comes up because I just got done explaining to a guy the EFI Live is much better than a hypertech. He also tried telling me that I should put a chip in after the EFI Live. I just nodded and gave up like everyone else in this thread did.
