95Marklll(Kingcobra) November 30th, 2005, 07:51 PM 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.
98LSC32V November 30th, 2005, 10:58 PM That is very true, the quality of the chip depends on the tuner but SCT gives the tuner the most variables to mess with.

MarkVIII93 December 1st, 2005, 10:30 PM 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?
squirell December 5th, 2005, 01:17 PM 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.

How did you use it with a 1994 non OBDII car? Do you have a part # for it?
Thanks.
98LSC32V April 2nd, 2007, 09:52 PM 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.
Stack April 3rd, 2007, 01:55 AM Geno will attest to that... Either get a chip burned from Geno or go with the Sniper tuning software for full adjustability!
turborich April 8th, 2007, 04:36 PM 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.

How much does all that (sct and tuner) cost around? Also what do you mean by the "NO comment" about the Jetchip? Is there a programmer out there for a 95 Mark VIII? What ARE the options out there as far as chips/programmers/tuners for a 95 Mark VIII? Thanks ahead for all the replies to these questions! :D
kustomizingkid November 18th, 2008, 06:42 PM A 95 Mark being OBD1 is fairly limited for tuning. There are many different options for tuning but I would recommend SCT. You will have to use a chip for your ecu and can get them with performance tuning from many different SCT dealers.
Lonnie at Blue Oval Chips, Torrie at Fast Parts Network, and Dennis at Reinhart Automotive are a few of the SCT dealers you can chose from.
jrizzle November 18th, 2008, 07:14 PM I think the general consesus is that for an OBD1 the most effective chipping solution would be the LMS chip, i cant say for sure yet because i don't have it. But im planning on picking one up really soon and I'll let you know. From what everyone else has posted, they all seem happy with the results.

I personally would go SCT... but that's me.
