This thread is going to be written in several phases.
1) Ordering
2) Program 1 87 performance
3) Program 2 92 performance
4) Program 3 road trip fuel economy
First a bit of history.
I have a 2000 SOHC, with a MAC intake, PRO-M 75mm with calibrated meter,
flowmaster muffeler and 2.5 exhaust.
I have been running a two program from Apten since early last summer.
At first it was antastic. The truck was a friggin' rocket.
But I quickly was plagued with CEL's.
I sent it back for a reburn. No hasseles, no issue. Got the chip back, less perfomance, and a CEL came back. Third reburn, less performance, but no CEL.
I figure there has to be a better way.
I started reading of two programers on this site, for my own reasons, I chose to go with Doug at Bama chips.
Through e-mails we discussed my situation, my wants and possibilities.
Over the course of a few weeks Doug asked many questions. FAR more than Apten ever did. Doug seems to really be driven to create the exact programs I desire. Putting a customers wants and desires first. Doug will go a long way with such an attitude.
Comming soon,
Test drive.
