SAM uses a totally different technique; they solder a chip onto an ECU, something that I, personally, do not like. They use similar technology as Superchips. They claim slightly more HP and torque readings than TME but again, you get what you pay for. Don't just go for the cheapest price out there. I have the iPd/TME upgrade and loveit. No problems, no check engine lights, I could hav ehad more torque with others but I am pleased with the (approximately) 280+HP and 280+ ft.-lbs of torque that I have.

I like the exhaust system that SAM offers, though.
