RE: EPROM Programming

[Mike Rolica <mrolica@meridian-mag.com>]

	Thanks all,

	I have spent the last week searching the old E-mail archives and
then looking at all the links on the GMECM site. I was up til 4 in the
morning once 'cause I got addicted to all the great info I was finding. In
particular, I saw that the TPI ignition module adds its own advance without
the ECM hooked up which solved a problem I was having. Plus, I have asked a
lot of questions at TPIS.com, Turbocity, Thrasher-ep.com etc. Its not that I
don't understand but I get different answers from all the vendors. Just
trying to sort out what's propaganda and what's fact. Thrasher's site seems
to contradict what TPIS says, etc. So I thought I would just write my own
chips. It just seemed like a horrendously long task to burn a chip, drive
it, change it, and so on. Dr.  Plecan, since you obviously now know what a
perfect chip can do, how do the aftermarket chips, (Hypertech, TurboCity,
TPIS, etc.) stack up to your work?  Are they close or are they way behind?
How close can they get just by you giving them your engine specs? Turbocity
actually brags about the ability of their chip man. I can't believe they
could spend the time you have and make it profitable for them. 
			Junk junk junk junk crap...I bought a hypertech chip
for $150.. I worked.. but nothing special.... When I got my burner and
compared it to a stock chip... I could have accomplished the same thing by
wiring my fan on all the time, cranking the dist adv 10 deg and cranking the
fuel pressure......

		Since I've looked at many chips, ads, jet tpis.. ect... all
the same thing..
	There is no possible way they can tune a chip like I could  for my
engine unless they had the car.... And what their idea of good may not be
the same as mine..
		Even stock every motor is slightly  different, so a
conservative and general cal is used..to get perfect, you have to tune each
individual motor, and doing so by using items desc in prog 101....once ya
start ya can't stop......you feel a huge amount of pride and accomplishment
even when you do a small thing like eliminate the vats!!




	Last, it seems that the emulator in the WINBIN link would really
reduce the chip perfection time. Is this program a viable project? Why
hasn't this been done already by Diacom? Actually, Haltech E6GM may be the
same thing but I gathered it was not a GM ECM but some sort of less featured
copy.
	Anyway, I at first thought this site was sponsored by GM, but now I
realize that Steve Ravet and other members donated their time to this build
this and I wanted to thank them and everyone else who contributed. Its
pretty awesome.
