neither of them are chips, but the livewire is the xcal 2 with a g-tech all put into one. I would say go for the livewire.

They're tuners... and livewire and x-cal are basically the same software except livewire has quite a few more options and can sit on your window/dash.. and it it matters to you, it looks awesome

Get the livewire it is the best for any OBD-II Stang IMO

Get a tuner when you get most of your mods done that way it can tune for them then you can alter the tunes yourself for new ones.

or you could start with a tuner get what you can with it then add on top of it... as you go you can tweak each part's input on your overall power
