Default Unichip, Hypertech or Jet?

I've been doing lot of research about this subject, but couldn't find a definite answer or a real winner between the three brands.

I hope you guys can help making up my mind. I'm looking for max possible power gains, fuel economy is not an issue.

My 08 2drs manual JK will have the following parts installed soon:

1- 4.56 gears
2- AEM CAI
3- AFE throttle body spacer
4- Gibson single cat back

Gosh, I don't know anything about the Unichip and the Jet Chip, but do they allow you to adjust for gears and tires? The Hypertech Programmer does.

x3 on the Hypertech...Although the Unichip advertises the most gain in HP/TQ & is a piggy back system that doesnt rewrite your computer; it doesnt have the other tuning capabilities Hypertech offers....In addition, if you do a search, there has been discussions that some members feel no HP/TQ increase or difference when using the Jet Chip....

I'm thinking about a Hypertech as well... Is it mostly for JKs with a lot of mods, or would I see a performance gain if I just have 33s and an RC BB?

I have the hypertech also and love it!

Talked to a guy this weekend, at my local club, with the Jet chip and it didnt do anything for him. He has an auto and hates it.
