ebay mod chip

have fun
 












sctflash.com

(at least that's what I think you want).
 












Thanx

Thanx, but how much hp gains are normal?
 






??

What about Mac racing or the juice box brands?
 






Heard of Mac but didn't know they do chips. The juice boxes I know about are in my fridge (kid loves em).

Most people around these parts use sct (bamachips is sct seller and approved vendor on this site...I've used him on numerous occasions and Doug is superb). You'll find some that use Jet, but they're not that great. Anything on eBay is crap (af was just bustin' your balls).
 












Thanx,

Thanx, Ill go with bamachips. Sorry bout not having any knowledge bout such things but I usually work with atvs and motorcycles? I personally don't even know how chips work, but a friend told me it would help with HP?
 






Custom programming tends to enhance other mods. The first things most people start with are:

(1) Air intake (Mac, K&N, Volant, KKM etc)to replace restrictive OEM airbox (allows engine to inhale better)
(2) Free flowing exhaust (Flowmaster, Magnaflow, Mac, Gibson, Flo Pro etc) from the cats back ("catback", allows engine to exhale better)
(3) Custom programming via chip or flasher (bamachips etc), better shift points etc.

Search the heck out of these forums. The site's been in existence for years and the questions you want addressed have probably been addressed zillions of times in the archives. Custom programming in isolation doesn't do much. It more or less ties in the other mods. Doug (bamachips) takes the specifics of your vehicle (including mods) and furnishes programs accordingly. The delivery mechanism is via chip or flasher. I've used both and definitely prefer flasher method. Way more flexibility and much easier to deal with. Ask about the XCalibrator2 flasher.
 






I can not give you any HP #'s but I can say for sure the the results are significant and noticable.
 












Celly !!!
I didnt know you were 12 ...
