Id say a lays potato chip is overhyped yet still good but pringles are about the best chip ive experienced not overhyped at all...haha no really a sct a edge depends on what features you want but edge seems to be most popular and once you drive with one you wont want to drive without it.

Cheap? /\/\ What he said. I prefer a good solid Doritos myself.

Far as vehicle tuners, there really isn't a "cheap" tuner. Any decent tuner is gonna run you $300 new on up.

I never go cheap. I usually go middle price on sht like that. I saw done advertisements on some CHEAP ones and was just curious. I am a poor college student at the moment. I'll make it look good before performance at the time being.

Edge, Gryphon, SCT, Diablosport, Bully Dog, just to name a few I can think of. Most people run the Edge/Gryphon or the SCT. Not sure about prices but Edge will be 300-350 and Gryphon is 400. Custom tunes will run you 30 for the Gryphon and 60 for the Edge (if done through Power Hungry Performance). I know the SCT is the more expensive one but I hear Franchi will get you the best deal on one.

Heard that right! :-)

But yes, the above brands are pretty much your options for a tuner. The $69 ebay tuners which claim 59 horses and 20 mpg are just a .05 Radio Shack resistor chip in a pretty plastic box and worthless.
