There is a chip and its from JetChip.com.
"its for Late model GM vehicles without removable chips require the use of the JET Power Control Module (PCM). The JET PCM provides the same type of Power Tuning as a JET chip and is the most sophisticated tuning device for late model GM vehicles available today. The JET PCM is a 20Mhz RISC computer that controls air/fuel, ignition advance and transmission tuning for the ultimate in power gains."

I can't open the pic on the POS computer at work, but i'm guess it's just a picture of what most of the other chips they sell look like. No chips for the GEN III. I reread your quoted description... The power control module is a stupid box that is a stupid waste of money. I'd throw it in the same pile that the Tornado sits in.

I had one... It plugs in between the bottom wiring harness and the pcm... You could actually tell a diffrence on light modded cars...(free flowing exhaust, K&N, *160 therm... ) And thats about it... I got the Jet stage 2 chip when I bought my car.. I got a really good deal on it.. I would be willing to sell it real cheap if anyones interested in trying it... I say cheap i mean $35 or $40..

Don't waste your money....mail-order tune or pro dyno tune. If anything, get a predator or HPP3(unless you plan on major mods down the road, and then you're gonna need a full dyno tune then anyhow). Like DMNSPD said, it sits in the same box as the POS air flow mod Tornado does.
