Chip

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: 95Marklll(Kingcobra)

What is the best chip for are marks? I would think it would be the LMS chip because they concentrate all there time on Lincolns. But is there a chip better out there? I think chips are one of the best mods u can do u get more hp and trq, better fuel economy, better shift points, better top end, everything is covered. Thanks......

a chip is only as good as what is on it.

That is very true, the quality of the chip depends on the tuner but SCT gives the tuner the most variables to mess with.

From everything I've read the LMS is the best.

Geno, I have heard that with a bigger maf these cars tend to run lean. Would a chip compensate for that? What kind of discount would I get if I was a gold member?

I am very happy with my LMS chip.
It has just about paid for itself in the extra gas milage already.

thats what the whole thing about a maf is, you get your gains from leaning out the car. Your computer is reading the air as it were a stock size maf, but its not, you have more air with the same fuel, so you are going to be leaning out your a:f. Thats what gives you the power. I would guess the chip would help maximise this, but if you had the a:f back to regular, i would assume you would loose the power you would gain from the maf if it were just by itself, but you would gain more power from the advanced computer tuning in other areas from the other programs on the chip.

I thought it was just to allow more Volume through, and then you would need larger injectors....

How did you use it with a 1994 non OBDII car? Do you have a part # for it?

Thanks.

If the hypertech tuner is anything like it is for the LS1's, it's garbage. With their "power tune" my friend lost 2mph at the track in his 98 LS1... stay away from Hyper tech programmers.

Geno will attest to that... Either get a chip burned from Geno or go with the Sniper tuning software for full adjustability!

I would recomend SCT and a good tuner. Get your car dynotuned by a SCT dealer. It's the only way to go. Unless you have a OBD2 car. Then you can use a SCT hand held tuner. I wouldn't buy a mail order type of a chip.
