I know that MOPAR likes to make their ECUs very hard to enhance or change.
But, I beg to differ about chips being a German thing. I had a Stage 3 chip in my 89 Vette and it was awesome. I kept the car for 7 years and it still had the chip installed and was running great when I sold it with 122,000 miles on it. They even have chips for Chevy and Ford Turbo Diesel trucks. They can get as much as 90 more HP with some chips on those diesel engines. Look in any Hot Rod or performance magazine and you will find a lot of companies offering performance chips for GM and Ford products. I think MOPAR is missing an opotunity to make their cars more desireable to the younger market by making it so difficult for the aftermarket to do it's thing. At SEMA you'll see most of the other auto manufacturers embrassing the aftermarket. So I would say that the chip companies are very much into american product improvement.
