Good news! Rick at Amazon Racing of Fallston MD will be gathering the data/codes from my '01 Sport tomorrow which he will then email to Superchips. From what I'm hearing this will be the first time they've taken a gander at them. Thanks to Chris at Smartyparts who finally said what the deal is; someone has to get to their reader so this process can begin. Once they've examined and tweaked the codes, they will be emailed back to Rick @ Amamzon who can then burn an EPROM right there for testing prior to final calibrations.
I will be covering the entire gamut of mods with Rick, including the point where 'custom programming' becomes a necessity. Rick and his wife drag and race Cobras and a Lightning (Low 10's), he can be contacted at 410.404.1413.
BTW, my ECU code is 'TTY3' and a 50 series Delta-Flow Flowmaster is on it's way from http://www.rpmoutlet.com (George).

So what's the deal? Should I wait to get a superchip for my '01 until they get it tweaked?

I have no idea what my code is or where to find it. If you tell me where I will post the code.

or you can email me m24k18@mediaone.net
 






Computer code Location

Is on the top right hand side of the engine bay back against the firewall in front of the passenger's seat. If you do a search back a few weeks in this forum, someone posted excellent photos. At any rate look for the connector with the multitude of wires. On top of the connection you will see a code, maybe even "TTY3". Has anyone told you that a chip is ready for your '01?
 






No one has told there was, is there? Only looked for a one at Superchips.
 






2001 Code

code is TTY2
 






Limited slip?

P.S. How did you get a 3.73 limited slip? I also have the 3.73, but I believe it is not LS. Says on my sticker, "3.73 regular axle"
 






2001 Sport

I factory ordered mine with the Limited Slip also called Traction Lok. The extra MSRP charge was $355, dealer invoice $302. It's not that you have to special order Ltd Slip, they sprinkle some among the inventory just like the sprinkle various builds/option packages.
 






Cool

I bought mine from dealer stock, first one and only one on the lot back at the beginning of March. If I had known that it was an option I would have waited. So what's the deal with the chip? Do I need to wait for a 01 chip? I didn't see any 01 chips at the Superchip site nor at the Smartyparts site.

Hey, did you get the new Sport Trak wheels or did you get the old 5 spoke teardrop wheels? I have the older ones.
