Default speedtuning experience

Whats up. Been out for a while. Last I heard there were a few instances of people having issues with the stage 2 chip from ST. Adapting back to stock or something. My PM box has been full so idk if anyone had tried to contact me about it. So if you have related experience or story, speak up! I've only put about 20 miles on the 97 since getting chipped so idk if it's going to happen to me or what. If we need to setup some kind of return/fix with Oliver then I need to hear these things if you guys cant get it sorted out yourselves.

Ok you guys (flynn and jc) were the people who I had heard this from originaly, so it's good to hear the chip probably isn't a problem.

The deal was $145 + shipping but that was a group buy. He does advertise on ebay from time to time and for less than $200, I think.
