Ya, ever try to get a Dr., to cure you over the phone?.
Can't happen..
I just threw out a bunch of them (aftermarket ones).
Most of what I've seen is use a lower temp thermostat (which can get you 6%
more full), couple degrees timing, and redone fan ooperating temps.

Just yesterday a guy was by with a 89 TA. His xxxxx chip slowed his car down
by several MPH in an unoffical 1/4.  A stock ARAP (?, it's late), any way
added 2+4 degrees here and there at WOT and he went 3 MPH faster, and better
WOT response.  Err, well also, moved a few degrees around..

Well, I spent 300 for a Turbo city chip for my cross fire 747 conversion.
The deal was a reburn was $50.  They sent me one for a manual tranny, and I
had an auto.  Since I obviously told them the wrong tranny, it cost me
another 50, to get one chip for my car.  Bzzzzzt, wrong answer, so I took
the path to start figuring things out.

It's a work in progress.

Different systems info entirely.

It's an australian aftermarket ecm.
