Programmers normall erase and replace the original programming. Normally you can only use one at a time.

Save your money. Ignition timing and mixture are already calibrated to the point where detonation is a constant threat. Nothing a chip can do will be able to improve on that. Horsepower is a function of a number of things, most of which are already set. Engine displacement. Camshaft timing. Intake air tuning. Compression ratio. The Factory spark calibrations are already set for optimum cylinder pressures. Advancing the timing further (one of the easiest methods of torque increase) just pushes the engine closer to meltdown. Any increased torque produced would be tempered by a greater octane need, which dampens the net result somewhat, anyway. Fuel mixture is the optimum 14.7:1 stoichiometric ratio specified as the most efficient method of controlling the major exhaust gas emissions, and happily, extremely close to the optimum mixture for best performance. A revised program that pours extra fuel and spark into an engine already matched for superb emissions and performance just doesn't make sense. I've seen these chips installed on vehicles and noticed no positive changes in performance, whatsoever. In fact, some run worse. Weatherpack is also an issue. Poorly sealed, they can allow water into the connector at the PCM, allowing voltages to bleed between circuits and corrosion to develop. Spend your money on stickers--they can't leave you by the side of the road.
